Heb Zoom gebruikt voor online meetings met klanten en het werkt erg fijn!

Minpunten:

Als je het de eerste keer gebruikt wordt je erg in het diepe gegooid ivm met de video- en audio instellingen

Zoom Meetings, your virtual conference room

Opmerkingen: My experience with Zoom Meetings has been very pleasent. It helped me (along with thousands of others) to get my lectures and complete my study from home during the lockdown period caused by Corona pandemic.

Pluspunten:

Zoom meetings is a superb audio and video calling client. You can comnect with multiple people at a time using it. It allows you to hold meetings, conduct classes and lectures, and attend conferences and seminars virtually right from your desk and actually participate in it. Participants can share files of different formats with each other in it. Also its screen sharing feature allows a participant to share his screen with other participants of the meeting when discussing a document or slides etc. Zoom meetings is equally useful on both computer and smartphone platforms. It also has a free version available for those who can't afford license fee, only with a few small limitations.

Minpunten:

In its free version, the meeting session terminates automatically after 40 minutes and you have to re-initiate the meeting to continue further. The video quality is sometimes poor on bad internet connection, which may be a result of its high bandwidth requirements.

Great Interaction tool for meeting

Opmerkingen: Its a boon to have this software we understand the crux of it easily with ease of maintenance

Pluspunten:

Easy connecting facility and also you have great experience from mobile. Screen sharing can be done easily from mobile too. Have given training without interruption and lagging frequency. Polls and whiteboard is also available for interaction.

Minpunten:

Emojis used are little and not continuous in nature you need to keep on clicking when you try to clap and admire, can be little better here. Screen recording can be given for some portion of the screen which will help effective teaching.

Zoom there's better out there

Opmerkingen: Not too good, plus no visible option to blur background

Pluspunten:

That the software enabled file sharing, and the screen was clear, not ,much else

Minpunten:

That the screen share hides the meeting attendees on video as a presenter

Opmerkingen: To sum up, Zoom Meetings is a trustworthy and simple to use video conferencing tool that provides a high-quality audio and video experience for distant communication. The platform is intuitive and full of features like screencasting, video recording, virtual scenery, and private meeting spaces. The ability for meeting attendees to log in from their mobile devices is fantastic.Yet, Zoom is not without its drawbacks. Working with sensitive information can be stressful because of concerns about security and privacy. The time limit on the free version could also be a dealbreaker for some customers. When using the platform over a slow network, issues may arise.Zoom Meetings is a helpful tool for remote communication, but users should be aware of the security and privacy risks and consider using it in conjunction with other security tools.

Zoom - Best online meetings still

Opmerkingen: While there are the pros and cons, Zoom is still one of the best if not the best so far in online video conferencing so far.

Pluspunten:

Video calls are greater for bigger groups of participantsIts requirements in terms of computing power need are minimalThe noise cancelation feature actually works and works better that most alternatives.

Minpunten:

- Zoom is still expensive - The Phone feature of zooms is too expensive - you have to pay to record conversations and one has ti buy a single number for every single user, SIP technology could help

Very helpful application to Work Remotely

Opmerkingen: I use Zoom every day and more than once. It is very helpful to remote teams. Nowadays, almost all the IT industry works reportedly. It is a great tool.

Pluspunten:

Screen Sharing Sharing multiple screens simultaneouslyMultiple participants

Minpunten:

Free plans only allow 40 minutes.The annotations feature should be easier to foundAllow others to share screen should be allowed by default

Collaborations and interactions in real time

Opmerkingen: Allows sharing information in real time while conferences are held

Pluspunten:

It is a tool that over the years has remained one of the solutions in video and audio conferences both for professionals and for those who even wish to carry out studies. It is a good tool for direct communication with clients because many already know it and with a link to invitation you can have access to everything you need to communicate without problems

Minpunten:

There are no major changes in the last years but it is interesting to know that the tool always adapts to different members, so I have no criticism of this tool.

Great option for video conferencing

Opmerkingen: I have been using Zoom for the last years at work, when studying and even for some online family gatherings. I had some compatibility issues with Linux but they managed to reduce them.

Pluspunten:

Zoom is incredibly reliable, it's software used to fail with certain operating systems, like Linux, but they have worked on it and now I can not complain about any crashes nor malfunctions. Also the video customization options are great.

Minpunten:

I would love to have a browser option, like other meeting software.

Zoom reviews

Opmerkingen: I think it is very helpful for remote workers

Pluspunten:

Without zoom it is impossible to run our day to day business

Minpunten:

No cons as of now. All good and highly recommended

Zoom Meeting: The Perfect Online Meeting!

Pluspunten:

Zoom allows users to chat through an audio or video call, share documents, and benefit from additional tools for free or at a reasonable cost to improve remote communication.

Minpunten:

- Risk of hacking and poor online security;- Network and connection problems;- Slow performance due to the number of users;- Privacy issues, as some participants may be exposed to unwanted intrusions;- Sound annoyance related to audio problems, latency and echo;- Inability to block unwanted or unwanted users.

The industry leader in my opinion!

Opmerkingen: In a post COVID-19 world, Zoom has enabled our business to maintain is epic culture and stay connected with our teams, vendors and friends. Zoom is an indispensable tool for our business!

Pluspunten:

Zoom's ease of use, coupled with its excellent video quality and features make it the leading product in the video collaboration space and the one to beat!

Minpunten:

Lack of branding support, occasional choppy video and audio, lack of a true MDM offering for device management are the main drawbacks with Zoom. But the sky is the limit and i'm sure Zoom will continue to improve on the product.

Do You Zoom?

Opmerkingen: The software has been essential to our business. We use the video and audio connection, the screen sharing, the white board, and the chat functions.

Pluspunten:

Who does not Zoom these days? Since COVID-19 quarantining and social distancing has kicked in, Zoom has been indispensable. I like the ease of use, the screen share functions, the quality, and the recent upgrade. UPGRADE: Being able to hold a zoom meeting or class for more that 40 minutes is essential for flow and productivity.

Minpunten:

I have been less than impressed with the customer service. I know they must be overloaded since COVID-19 entered the scene, but I am frustrated with the loose ends of the customer service department. The wait time for a service rep to get back to you is upwards of two to three days. As a paying customer who has NO access to her zoom room, I believe I am being beyond patient with Zoom. I presently use my business partner's Zoom room unless she is in there first. Then I use a "free room" and deal with the 40 minute time limit for 3 or more students in my classroom.

Great Solution with Excellent Features

Opmerkingen: Overall I have been able to build stronger relationships with customers which has been crucial during the pandemic. The ability to still be connected with each other allows me to continue growing my business and moving towards success. I would highly recommend utilizing Zoom Meetings.

Pluspunten:

The features I find most impactful is the ability to share screens. The option to select which window or multiple windows I want to share makes this software the best choice for me. The ability to have a free account is amazing to leverage for quick meetings with customers and is simple for customers to get started with.

Minpunten:

The feature I feel this software is lacking is the ability to share a file while in a meeting. Sometimes I'll be working with a customer and need to just transfer a small file for the customer to utilize during the session. I'm not able to do this and therefore I need to send the file separately via email.

Gets the job done!

Opmerkingen: Very positive! I use Zoom for 4–5 meetings daily, both hosted and attended, and find that it works quite well for the majority.

Pluspunten:

At this point, Zoom is universal enough that it's invaluable to be able to suggest a Zoom meeting with a client or even a stranger and know that all parties will easily be able to set up and communicate via the software. That alone is a huge strength! Thank you, Zoom, for normalizing video chat. The desktop interface is also very intuitive, which is a great plus. Setting up, joining, and leaving meetings is very straightforward, as is chatting nonverbally in the sidebar. Since these are the features most of my clients use most often, that's a win in my book! On a personal note, I also greatly appreciate the new reactions feature. It's a great way for a larger group to participate and weigh in on a conversation without verbally distracting from what's being discussed.

Minpunten:

Additional mute controls would be wonderful—the ability for a host to mute all if desired would help avoid the need for an additional admit moderating big calls. More importantly, though, I feel the phone interface leaves a lot to be desired. Flipping screen to screen to access features is confusing, and often this leads to clients who have joined a call via mobile feeling frustrated or embarrassed by tech snafus. Along those lines, I feel that the decision to switch the ability to offer a dial-in number to paid-only plans was a mistake. Until the Zoom app is accessible and easy to use, dialing in is by far the most straightforward way for mobile users to join a Zoom meeting.

Until now, still the best way for video meetings

Opmerkingen: If possible, I'd have all my video meetings on Zoom.

Pluspunten:

Stable and good quality video calls, which you can trust. I tried and tested other platforms as well, but Zoom is like the gold standard of video meetings these days. Easy to use and it just works.

Minpunten:

Most annoying aspect is that for some reason every time I'm creating a new meeting, or adding Zoom meeting to my Google Calendar it is re-asking permissions. Which is odd that it is asking it again every single time. But despite that, it's still worth it.

A great alternative to GoToMeeting and WebEx

Opmerkingen: Zoom is a worthy competitor to GoToMeeting and Webex even if it still lacks some useful features. It does excel in large group environments and video screen participation.

Pluspunten:

Zoom is a full featured virtual meeting/collaboration software. As a long-time user of GoToMeeting, I found Zoom to be an excellent alternative. One of the great things about Zoom is the extent that it can be customized to each individual user. Zoom leverages most of its strengths if it’s applied within a large organization. Each user gets to customized how they engage Zoom at startup. For instance when entering a meeting, users can set as their defaults such things as entering a meeting with microphone and camera turned off.. No embarrassing “gotcha” moments. Zoom allows multiple options for screen sharing, using single or multiple screens, or highlighting one app. Zoom also allows for whiteboards. Customer support is generally prompt and helpful. Two billing disputes were resolved within a few minutes. Technical support is also generally helpful and responsive. A problem with echoes and distortion was quickly diagnosed in the middle of a meeting and fixed with minimal interruption.

Minpunten:

One of the glaring defects of Zoom is not being able to share controls.. While users may designate another meeting attendee as a host, it doesn’t allow for passing off of controls. Which is not the same thing. Several users of competitor titles like GoToMeeting or WebEx, find this feature very useful as it lets other meeting attendees manipulate their screen while still retaining overall control of the meeting. The control elements are a bit more spread out on the desktop app than users may be used to with GoToMeeting and WebEx.  in some cases this means more screen real estate is available for actual meeting content, but it can also make things a little bit harder to find.

Best available option for screen sharing among competitors

Opmerkingen: Considering high performance on screen sharing, I'm very happy to use Zoom with premium account, and definitely worth for money.

Pluspunten:

The primary reason I like Zoom is the stability on screen sharing. As I hold live course sessions online, I had chance to try well-known competitors in the market (Teams, Cisco Webex, GoogleMeet, etc.). Zoom is the leader in screen sharing performance. Many other products lose performance after a short time of usage, buffering, lag or considerable decline in video quality. Zoom is capable of broadcasting screen smoothly at highest resolution possible and works seamlessly for long sessions like 4-5 hours.

Minpunten:

While I'm setting a meeting, it is easy to use outlook plugin and distribute over e-mail as a meeting appointment on outlook. But plugins are limited to outlook and gmail. It would be better to have other options, sharing as a meeting appointment on yandex mail or samsung calendar.

Effective platform to conduct the virtual meetings and workshops with multiple participants.

Opmerkingen: Remote meetings , workshops and official dicussions are conducted easily from anywhere, and anytime. It is a great platform which fullfils the need of communications of various workplaces. It provides almost all the functions and options which are necessary to conduct the effective virtual meetings.

Pluspunten:

We bought the zoom package in 2019 to continue the various communication process in our workplace that has been disturbed by the covid-19 pandemic situation. It is a great medium which help to facilitate the remote communication in an effective way. The user-friendly platform of the zoom let users to easily participate in the virtual meetings and workshops without having much computer knowledge via any devices which have internet access. Compare to other software, it is just a matter of few clicks to schedule and join to the online meetings. Even with the free version of the Zoom software, it is possible to host the meeting up to 40 minutes with less than 100 participants. Features and options such as chat box, breakout rooms for focused group discussion, screen sharing, taking & granting control of the computer’s screen with permission of the target participant facilitate the virtual communication just like the physical interactive meetings.

Minpunten:

Like other commercial products, significant amount of money and monthly or annual subscription fee has to be spent, if we want to utilize more functionalities and capacities such as hosting the meeting with more than 100 participants and extended time period with other benefits.

The best tool for conference and group calls

Opmerkingen: As I said earlier, Zoom is far superior to other tools in the market, even in its free version. We use it in our conference rooms and personal computers, with very good results in all scenarios (demos, support, remote daily meetings, etc.). Very user friendly and works really fast!

Pluspunten:

Having many off-shore clients, we use this tool for everything, from simple support calls to full demos. Zoom really shines when you compare it to other tools available in the market; we experience little to no latency in our calls, video or shared screen streaming, which is incredibly valuable when working remotely and convincing clients that this is not a limitation. In my personal experience, I never had a call dropped or a freezed screen. Audio quality is really good, even when having multiple callers from different locations. While acting as organizer I can easily manage speaking permissions and turns, making good use of the "raise hand" option. Last but not least, the application is very easy to install and use, even if you're downloading it for the first time, just click on the link to the meeting and you're set.

Minpunten:

When sharing control of the screen, Zoom does not allow control over applications opened in Administrator Mode, which is almost always when working in dev or UAT environments. The action bar while sharing screen is a bit cluttered, making it hard to find the desired options. Text-chat could stand to be improved; if you end the call, text messages are not saved, so they're lost forever if you forgot to save them beforehand.

excellent choice for meetings

Opmerkingen: Zoom works with each a PC and a smartphone. The utility is notably smooth to use. Meeting connections make it smooth to enroll in meetings. Chat, display screen sharing, file sharing, and whiteboarding are most of the functions. I can not consider any apparent hazards to using the tool. The uncertainty round information safety claims frustrates me the most. Since the start of the year, there was enormous complaint that Zoom has furnished 1/3 events information with out settlement and that positive additives of the tool, together with tracking the participant's interest with out previous consent, represent an invasion of privacy. "

Pluspunten:

Zoom is used for our normal meetings. We use display screen sharing offerings to talk about initiatives and cooperate on topics. We use the whiteboard device to proportion our ideas. Zoom handles gradual Internet connections admirably, making it our go-to app for on line meetings. What I like great approximately the device is its common performance, which gives HD audio and video high-satisfactory at the same time as streaming smoothly. This substantially improves the entertainment of the use of different functionalities. This capabilities display screen sharing, assembly recording, stay polling, and plenty more.

Minpunten:

The assembly UI seems to be a bit stale. The hyperlink often hangs. As a result, your most effective choice is to disconnect and reconnect. There aren't anyt any state-of-the-art capabilities, consisting of computerized connection to conferences primarily based totally on a schedule, or something of the sort. The price-overall performance ratio degrades whilst license call for will increase or capability is expanded. It isn't usually clean to reconcile them with facts security.

Great for collaborative meetings where participants are in different locations, easy to use

Opmerkingen: For a period of time, I solely worked from home because I had young children. Zoom was a game changer for me! I was able to be present for staff meetings, have regular meetings with my boss(es) to discuss tasks & meet with other staff when needed to coordinate projects or train others. It was instrumental in allowing me to work from home and still stay connected to the team and on the right path with my tasks!

Pluspunten:

This is an amazing tool that allows you to collaborate and connect with others easily, and you have the convenience of being able to do so from all different locations. In terms of features, one of my personal favorites is to be able to share a screen with the other participants. It's been a great support to be able to use a visual in meetings in addition to the verbal discussion. I also love that I can hit the downsize button on the Zoom screen and it will become a small icon on the screen that still streams the video and allows me to see who is talking, but it frees up my screen to multitask. Zoom is also flexible - meetings can be scheduled in advance or on the fly and shared with others. It's easy to share the meeting with others, and the program itself is easy to use! There is minimal set-up required to get Zoom functioning on your computer and that only needs to be done once. most impactful features, easy to use? integration w business easy?

Minpunten:

Missing features or improvement needed? Difficult to use? As mentioned in the Pros, one of my favorite functions is to be able to share my screen with other participants. However, it's not a true screen share - you're only sharing one item (an open file, document, or website, etc). If you move to a different item on your computer it does update the screen for the other participants. Only the file/website/doc that you originally picked will show to the other users. At times that set up is perfect and allows you to look at other things on your computer without disrupting the meeting. However, I wish there were an option to have the screen share update based on what the sharer is looking at. At times I have a number of things I need to show the other participants, and it becomes tedious to have to close the screen share and re-open it whenever I want to change what I'm showing the participants.

Zoom for Virtual Meetings and Teleconferencing

Opmerkingen: The pandemic minimized physical meetings. Zoom meetings facilitated the continuity of my business since I could train my students online without a hassle. Again, the free subscription enabled me to grow my business till I could afford to pay for the premium package. Zoom for me, Zoom for you, Zoom for everyone!

Pluspunten:

Zoom is one of the most effective software for holding meetings and classes, for tutors, entrepreneurs, freelancers, among other people. As a freelance writer, Zoom Meetings enables me to hold virtual meetings with other writers and discuss important things about the industry trends, effective writing technics, among other things. During such meetings, we can perfectly share screens, files, and texts without interfering with the quality of the presentation because voice and video streaming are perfect. Additionally, as an academic and web content writing trainer, Zoom has enabled me to survive during the pandemic because I could perfectly conduct online classes effectively. My students enjoy it because they can also record the presentations/tutorials for future reference. Thus, Zoom company offers highly competitive pricing that conforms to the "value for money" analogy. Finally, as a socially responsible company, Zoom offers free subscriptions for individuals, start-up businesses, small schools, among other individuals or organizations in need. Personally, I started with a free subscription but later upgraded to premium packages because of the effectiveness of the digital communication and presentation tools it provides. I don't think, there is another better software for holding virtual meetings and conferences than Zoom. I would recommend it to everyone.

Minpunten:

There are two things I think should be improved. Firstly, the software should be optimized or refined so that it can operate equally well even when the internet speed is a bit slow. Voice breaks are common when the internet speed is low. Secondly, the mobile interface should be made easier to use. It is quite complicated.

Best Conference Call/Virtual Meeting Software Available

Opmerkingen: Again, the issues I am highlighting are fairly nit picky as Zoom is vastly superior to the previous product we were using (Goto Meeting)

Pluspunten:

So lets start by acknowledging that every single professional conference call/virtual meeting software or product has some flaws. None of them offer everything you want without some glitches or issues. That said, I've used countless other products/vendors and can I attest that Zoom is easily the best of its class available on the market. I love that there is a simple Zoom add-on you can download into your personal Outlook to make scheduling meetings incredibly easy. Love that all employees get their own accounts/unique login ID's. I think the mobile app is also a big plus, as I have joined meetings and viewed what others are sharing directly on my phone. The customization options are outstanding.

Minpunten:

Couple of areas for improvement: - It doesn't need to blast super loud "this call is being recorded." That can freak some interviewees out. Consider changing to a visual cue that the call is being recorded (or a more subtle audio cue) - Really wish there was a feature that warned you when you've accidentally scheduled two zoom meetings that overlap (with the same user/login). Could be helpful - The biggest issue in my opinion is the fact that sometimes I don't fully end a zoom meeting and when I have another zoom call/meeting immediately in succession, it can sometimes say that the other meeting hasn't ended and I somehow am not able to end the first meeting in order for others to join the new meeting. -Overlapping meetings (under a single user login) is by far the biggest area for improvement. We run into that issue pretty regularly - Sometimes the call/meeting recordings don't show up or download

Very Easy and Convenient Platform for Remote Team Meetings & Presentations

Opmerkingen: My experience with Zoom Meetings and Chat has been great. It's quickly become one of our team's most valuable collaboration tools. It feels like a shared meeting platform that's truly collaborative. Instead of one person starting and running a meeting, we can each step in and lead on-the-fly, naturally. So far, this platform feels more like your team being in the same room together than other professional meeting platforms.

Pluspunten:

It's easy to start and join meetings -- both for internal teams and external clients. Just send a link and anyone can participate. This is a very intuitive alternative to platforms like Skype, Join.me and GoToMeeting. And our team's experience is that it's more reliable than Skype. We're a small group of remote workers, so our team is online together via Zoom daily, some of us continuously for multiple hours. It's easy to swap screen share (no need to "promote" a participant to "presenter"; easy to record and keep meetings. We use the chat feature to share files and off-screen commentary. We love being able to see each other in real time, which makes our meeting and collaboration time feel almost "in-person." Best of all, each of us on our team has our own unique meeting link. We've bookmarked each other's "Zoom Rooms," so we can easily hop on and off with each other as needed for "huddles" throughout the day. Our clients appreciate the "face-to-face" meeting time. It's just as easy for them to participate. Zoom feels really organic and collaborative. The platform never gets in the way.

Minpunten:

If you are presenting on Zoom you have to keep your eye on the screen to see if you have chat messages waiting, but that is the same with GoToMeeting. The chat alert is definitely more visible than in GoToMeeting, and it feels more natural and less distracting to open and respond to the chat in Zoom. Basically, Zoom has done a great job with the meeting controls to keep everything very simple and visible.
