Pros
"I like the user interface. There aren't too many buttons that the audience will have to fiddle with."

"The Mozilla extension is useful to schedule meetings.""Zoom has helped me with collaboration and remote working.""The ability to record our online language lessons is great and helps our students""Zoom is very easy to set up. You simply download it and use it.""I rate Zoom as a seven out of ten. This is because it is much easier to use than Microsoft Teams.""Primarily during the period of problematic travel, the solution enabled us to connect with customers, clients and even colleagues and to share our thoughts, ideas and information.""The most valuable feature is the sharing capabilities. Whether it's a simple screen for PowerPoint or sharing videos, it works really well.""The platform has a solid feature for scheduling short meetings worth 30 minutes."

Cons
"They should improve the registration gateway. Currently, you can't do a pre-event registration that's straightforward. You have to do an API to integrate. It would be a lot easier if they had that."

More IBM Cloud Video Cons →

"You can use Teams more to collaborate with your coworkers. I think Zoom could add some of these features in addition to simple video conferencing.""The next version should include features like conflict resolution and Version Control.""There must be an option to ask permission from the host to record the Zoom meeting.""It would be great if there was a bit more camera control. For example, cropping the image, and improving the background remover features, which can be buggy right now.""They need to improve the background feature, to be able to set a background without interfering with the current background.""Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time.""Recently, most of the people in my organization have not been able to dial in using the telephone number and have been required to join meetings using their devices.""The free version of Zoom could be improved and offer more functionality. We would also like to have whiteboard and drawing functionality."
