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 →

"Zoom could improve by allowing multiple users to share their screens at the same time.""The solution lacks security.""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.""We would like to have the ability to connect people using phone numbers so that non-Zoom users can join conversations.""Technical support is in need of improvement.""They could address the product's limitation of the free version, particularly the 40-minute time constraint on meetings.""They could improve security more.""I think Zoom is not secure."
