The screen sharing feature. I use zoom to work remotely with students and it is beneficial for them to share their screen with me. Part of the advisement process requires paperwork so this feature is important to the work that I do.
I sometimes have issues with the meeting scheduling feature. My invitees sometimes don't get the email with the invite request. I usually will manually resend the link in this case. This issue will not deter me from using the program in the future.
Zoom is a great tool to use with students remotely. A lot of my students cannot come and meet me in person for a multitude of reasons an one of the benefits of zoom is that they can set up appointments to meet with me wherever they are.
It is really helpful to collect the data of attendance and save the video and chat text automatically. Good for the markets to do the follow-up staff.
The function of the panelist is not improved.
We can hold a session online and the audiences took the session at different states of united states. It expands our services area and solves the different time zone problem.
Zoom is very easy to use for setting up webinars. I like how it is connected with my google email and also our companies scheduling client acuity. Signing in is usually pretty easy and it has multiple screen sharing features which is also nice.
Depending on who calls in or where they are in the country the connection can be spotty. I currently have to call in by phone every time I have a webinar because the volume when speaking to a customer goes in and out.
the business problems zoom solves for us is that we never have to be in person to have a meeting. Making it very cost effective and saving us time and resources to make a sale.
Ability to host webinars and save recording of webinar. Ability to chat with users during video presentations.
Hard to find anything to dislike but associated cost is a dislike.
Hosting online webinars for volunteers. Ability to communicate out loud and in chat and ability to save recorded webinars.
Its easy to use and navigate. Low learning curve. Also, dat beauty mode.
Sometimes, its tough to choose the correct window to share
working with many remote employees
Zoom is a brand and software that is trustworthy, reliable, and known to many as the "Kleenex" of online meeting platforms. Users are already familiar with the process which makes the RSVP rate, Attendance Rate and user experience predictable.
Zoom RSVP pages offer very little bells and whistles, and the meeting rooms are not as feature rich as other webinar platforms designed exclusively for such purposes.
Zoom is easy to use for both the host and visitor and is cost-effective. If you are starting out and building your webinar audience, zoom is the way to go until you need more features.
Very easy to use, works functionally like other platforms so if you can use one you can pretty much use Zoom as well. It's very user friendly and has a good interface.
There isn't much that I don't like about it, it's fairly user friendly and everything works fairly easily and quickly for me and my team so there really are no improvements needed in my opinion.
We were able to attend webinars and hear from other people outside of our company to gain valuable insight into our field from other people outside of our company
Since 2020 the privacy restrictions are a huge benefit to zoom. There is no fear of anyone being in the webinar who shouldn't be.
The registration system is rather basic. The reporting could also be better, its very basic information and hard to understand.
Webinars are a great way to present content on a platform that most poeple are now very familiar with.
It's extremely user-friendly and easy! Not hard to learn.
There are no bells and whistles or features that make it stand out.
it solved our webinar platform need for a while
I like the speed of the videos, there doesn't seem to be much lagging
Picture is not very clear. If this is your first time using it, sometimes it can be tricky. I suggest trying it before you have an important meeting.
Easy to train staff as long as they all know how to use the software.
I love how easy it is to create a page that collects leads for attendees.
That zoom makes it difficult to capture the attendee leads using in-house landing pages/ lead magnets.
Sharing industry knowledge with interactive webinars that provide a value to our consumers and improves the brand.
Zoom always works as it should. Integrations are reliable, speaker/presenter access is reliable, and connection is reliable. I've never had to contact Support; which is valuable.
Zoom needs more actual webinar functionality. The ability to upload the deck or videos, and have any of the panelists advance the slides instead of just one person sharing their screen. Not to mention the fact that the controls are glued to the top of the screen. Also the it takes awhile for the recording to be made available.
We're able to present to a large audience of customers and prospects about our product and thought leadership topics. Then repurpose the recording of that presentation into video content that we can promote. We've seen millions in influenced pipeline from both those who attend the webinar and those who view the recording.
The ease of being able to communicate with coworkers and colleagues from a distance. It makes meetings easy and we are able to involve more people
Sometimes a little bit glitchy. Have had issues with microphone not properly connecting from the other user’s end. Would be nice if they told you exactly what the issue was
Improving collaboration, including more people in on meetings, and staying more up to date with everyone’s progress
It was easily installed and working, and quality/managing is good. Also unlimited for small number of people is a nice feature.
I was invited in a chat so it was somewhat strange to receive the mail with the link, it sent me to the page in order to register and then I had to go back to the mail to join, it was not automatic once registered.
Me and my boyfriend work abroad and had a meeting with colleagues in Italy with no problem, very easy and quick.
Zoom Events and Webinars allow organizations to create public-facing events virtually. Zoom being the leader in the WebRTC space user are quick to adopt the platform.
Zoom events and webinars is great for institutions that do not already have a video conferencing platform. Tiers are purchased yearly and while upgrading and downgrading are easy canceling is not.
in-person events are more challenging to pull off as the world deals with COVID. Zoom was ready to help companies get their message out with mature meeting options.
