Zoom

Zoom is a popular video conferencing solution with both an App and a website portal service.  You can use Zoom to run meetings where up to 10,000 people listen in and 100 people join by video link.  There is a free version with some limitations and a paid version.

Zoom enables you to organise a meeting and send an invitation with a link to enable the participants to join the meeting.  It offers various helpful features such as recording the meeting or managing different meetings via “rooms”.

Some organisations have IT security policies which may prevent the use of zoom on a corporate network.  You can also access zoom via a smart phone on WIFI enabling easy access to online meetings.

We use both the App and the online version whcih prove very flexible and helpful across a range of client organisations.
