About Zoom

Zoom is a video communications platform used for meetings, webinars, and everyday remote collaboration. It became widely known for making video calls simple and reliable across patchy connections and a huge range of devices, from phones to conference room hardware. Hosts can run anything from a quick one-on-one to a large all-hands or external webinar, with features like screen sharing, breakout rooms, virtual backgrounds, recording, and live transcription. Meetings can be scheduled and joined directly from calendars, browsers, or the desktop and mobile apps, and a single link is usually all a participant needs. For larger organizations, Zoom offers webinar tools for one-to-many broadcasts, phone service that replaces traditional business lines, team chat, and shared whiteboards for collaboration during or between calls. Cloud recording with searchable transcripts makes it easy to revisit decisions, and admin controls help IT manage security, waiting rooms, and access policies. Integrations connect Zoom to calendars, Slack, learning platforms, and CRMs so meetings fit into existing workflows. More recently, AI features help summarize meetings and surface action items automatically. Used by schools, healthcare providers, and companies of every size, Zoom remains a default choice for distributed teams that need dependable real-time communication.
