If you've wondered what different ways you can employ to pass information online, then this might be of great interest to you.
Today, in this age, people don't like the idea of having to come out of their houses to lecture people or have meetings in person and that's understandable.
What is ZOOM Cloud Meetings?
Zoom is a software that has been created to pass across information online in forms of online courses, video conferences, e-meetings, etc. Infact, you can use zoom as a messaging medium also as it blends video-based activities and group messaging in one platform.
You may be wondering the capacity this app can carry. Well, for video activities on Zoom, it can cater for up to 100 participants and up to 10,000 view-only attendees.
What this means is that during a session on Zoom, up to 100 people can actively communicate with the facilitator live. While up to 10,000 people can view the video after the live event has ended. Amazing, considering the limit on some similar apps.
With the use of Zoom, a user can collab with colleagues (all over the internet) to deliver a course or training as the case may be.
I am now going to list the various features that make Zoom a desirable app for users who would rather communicate important information from any part of the world instead of going out of their homes for same reason.
FEATURES OF ZOOM
1. You can screenshare with Zoom.
2. You can create a video webinar easily with Zoom.
3. Zoom supports video conferencing
4. It has HD Video and Voice.
5. Cloud and local recording of videos are supported.
6. Group collaboration is also supported.
7. It has a drag and drop feature.
8. Zoom rooms and meetings are supported.
Now, I know you may still be in doubt of how exactly this software is a win or not for you as a user. Below are the reasons you might want to download and subscribe. Or not. It all depends on what you're looking for.
USES/IMPORTANCE OF ZOOM.
The above two are wrapped into each other as the uses of the app show exactly how important it is.
First, Zoom because of its functions, is super helpful to small business owners, educational and healthcare institutions as it helps them simplify their ability to pass across information.
Secondly, the video webinar feature makes it possible for you the user to be able invite other users to join you in your webinar. I think this is one of my favorite reasons.
Last but not the least, you can record your videos and let it remain in the cloud for access by other people especially when they couldn't make it for the live stream. The video quality of Zoom makes this all the better as the video is HD quality.
Also, I almost forgot to say this but you can share your desktop screen with your audience if you like. Additionally, there are other uses for Zoom like the whiteboard functionality which can be used to make presentations and the sort.
