What is Zoom?

Zoom’s main features

  • One-on-one meetings: Host unlimited one-on-one meetings even with the free plan. Group video conferences: Host up to 500 participants (if you purchase the “large meeting” add-on). The free plan, however, allows you to host video conferences of up to 40 minutes and up to 100 participants. Screen sharing: Meet one-on-one or with large groups and share your screen with them so they can see what you see.  Recording: You can record your meetings or events too.
