Zoom review

5.0 2 months ago New

Comments: My Overall experience with Zoom Events and Webinars has mostly been positive but not without it's challenges. However, there is room for improvement such as the customization for event. All in all its a solid platform.

Pros:

I like that Zoom is easy to set up and navigate. It allows large number of participant, making it great for webinars. It video and audio quality is also topnotch. The interactive tools such as the chat feature keeps the audience more engaged. I also love the whiteboard feature and it collaboration features.

Cons:

What I like least about Zoom is limited customization for event branding and design.

Zoom - a great platform for your streaming needs

4.0 last month New

Comments: Overall the system is very easy to use, it has a lot of features that can very easily be overlooked that are actually quite powerful, but can be a game changer

Pros:

It is a very stable platform, and can be integrated into our streaming software, vMix very easily

Cons:

The way that you setup Webinars is not very intuitive, you select a start time, and you have to state how many hours your event is, very few people think in this way and will generally have a start and end time.

My Overall Experience with Zoom

3.0 4 weeks ago New

Comments: Overall, Zoom is a good backup platform.

Pros:

Zoom allows me to record the webinars without the paid upgrade to the platform. It also has more filters, and my students love this feature.

Cons:

There are a couple of cons to this platform. The first con is that, unlike Google Meet, their free platform only allows for [up to] 45 minutes, While Google Meet allows up to 60 minutes for the free plan. And the second con is that it uses a lot of battery power on my laptop. In contrast, Google Meet uses very little battery power.

Zoom Events and Webinars Review

4.0 2 months ago New

Comments: Overall, it has been an amazing experience. It has made meeting so many people at the same time a lot easier.

Pros:

I like the ease of conducting large online events through audio and video, in order to gather a lot of people at the same time and also through screen sharing.

Cons:

Well I don't know if it is due to the capacity of people its been used for, Sometimes the volume goes off. Some of my listeners couldn't hear me in one of the meetings I had and it crashed. Though it doesn't happen all the time.

Becoming webinar kings!

4.0 2 weeks ago New

Comments: It is a great tool, without it we would struggle to run our business as efficiently as we do. It allows us to host regular, professional online events that elevates our business.

Pros:

Its a really high performing tool. We have used Livestorm in the past which was fine but Zoom is familiar for everyone using it and requires little to no training to get going. It has so many tools that allow you to run professional webinars, unlike any we have experienced to-date.

Cons:

It can become quite costly when you have lots of users, and large numbers of attendees joining the webinars.

Zoom has stayed the course.

5.0 4 days ago New

Comments: Our overall experience with Zoom Events as a paying yearly customer is satisfactory. When they boomed during the pandemic the challenges was not seen or exploited by other. They adjusted well and improved on so many additions to the Zoom experience.

Pros:

What we like most is the ease of use when setting up an event.

Cons:

The Zoom events has room for improvement, but the technology probably has to catch up with their need. It has most of the tools and apps to assist it. We have not used Webinars as of yet, so there is no least or most.

Zoom makes webinars easy

5.0 7 months ago

Comments: Since Covid began, Zoom is indispensable for people in higher education. I get upset if I have to use another platform!

Pros:

I can’t picture today’s world of easily attended, widely accessible webinars in my areas of interest without Zoom.

Cons:

Sometimes it is difficult to know who is host, and only the host can find out. But overall this is good, to limit access to those in charge.

Zoom Events

5.0 6 months ago

Comments: My Overall Zoom experience is firstly joining in on a meeting that will soon accomplish something sensational while seeing so many faces on the screen. Zoom Events and webinars are very informative and educational gives you great creative entertainment in a positive light. Positive individuals planning to make a difference and build a better foundation in all circumstances and categories. Its a great form of togetherness and I think of Zoom as a form of positive intuitive strength.

Pros:

Zoom Events are very exciting and creative you get to see the actual progress of a particular project or event you have been planning. Its a concise structure of abilities and capabilities building together as a team player.

Cons:

What I would say about most zooms webinars are a slight bit timely the plus side is all the great information positive impacts on self awareness and self confidence the endless opportunities that approach once in attendance of an event and all the motivational speakers, teachers, listeners and thinkers together in one setting. Time is all we need to become successful.

Very Useful for Large Events and Webinars.

4.0 2 months ago

Comments: My experience with Zoom, for the purpose of events and webinars, has been good. I appreciate the features available to host successful meetings.

Pros:

Zoom is a fantastic tool when using it to host events and webinars. My favorite features are breakout rooms, being able to assign co-hosts, and ability to mute attendees.

Cons:

When a person joins, they are given the option to turn off their camera in the beginning, but I haven't seen the option to turn off the mic too. This causes hosts and attendees to often unknowingly join with their mic on. It would be great to have a feature that automatically keeps the mic off when joining.

4.0 5 months ago

Pros:

As a UI Designer, I used zoom in 3 or 5 times a week. I attending the UI class with zoom and I also share the knowledge to my junior or students who interested in UIUX design.

So, I like zoom very much for my career improvement and sharing knowledge.

Cons:

I don't have many things about zoom events and webinars because when we compare other webinars application, zoom is always the best for me.

Pros:

As a senior, I love the convenience of being able to attend events and webinars from the comfort of my home. Often events are after dark, and that would prevent me from attending.

Cons:

The bottom navigation bar is sometimes confusing for me. Am I waving or raising my hand?
