Zoom, a web-conferencing tool

Video conferencing

Description: Zoom is a conferencing platform for conducting virtual meetings, webinars, and online events. It provides users with different options for video and audio conferencing, screen sharing, chat, and recording. Other useful functionalities are whiteboards for drawing or creating diagrams, and breakout rooms of up to 50 people to facilitate conversations in smaller groups. Participants have different statuses, with meeting hosts able to grant permission for screen sharing, and also record meetings in MP4 and M4A video formats for later use. Zoom’s chat functionality also allows users to instantly share text, images, audio, or video files. Group calls can be accessed through URLs or codes. Zoom offers a limited free version with a 40-minute duration limit for meetings, together with a maximum of 100 people per call. Users are required to sign up for an account to host meetings, though joining meetings can often be done without an account. Zoom was developed by Eric Yuan in 2011.

Evaluation: Zoom is a handy tool for hosting online meetings and courses. It is highly versatile, allowing for different interaction and class formats. Its whiteboard option is a useful resource to make online classes more interactive. Zoom is perhaps the most popular video conferencing tool due to its intuitive and straightforward interface.

Cost: Free + paid plans available.
