ZOOM Cloud Meetings

ZOOM Cloud Meetings review

Zoom is a video conferencing tool that is available as an application on the majority of smartphones, tablets, and PCs. The software starts by giving the user the opportunity to log in with their email address, username, or Facebook account. Once the user has logged in, they can download Zoom for their device. Some of the features of Zoom include the ability to place audio and video calls with up to 25 people and the ability to share screens.

Design

Zoom is designed to be easy to use for users of all levels of technological expertise. The user interface has a minimalistic design, which leaves enough space on the screen for the video and audio. The user starts by clicking the "Video" button to make the call. The video panel on the left side of the screen automatically starts playing video from the person on the other end of the call. The video feed can be enlarged or minimized by clicking the Video button.

The user's video feed will automatically appear in a larger format on the right side of the screen, and the video feed of the person on the other end of the call will automatically appear in a smaller format. Zoom is available on both Windows and Mac computers, as well as on iOS and Android devices.

The replayability factor of Zoom is that there is no limit to the number of times the user can use the app.
