Zoom is a powerful online meeting tool for large, distributed teams.

Have been investigating and like what I see so far. If only it had a payment option to charge for webinars I'd be in seventh heaven. Maybe able to fix something up with eventbrite. App sharing from mobile devices via airplay is very cool.

This product is the only one that doesn't freaking crash. Skype sucks. Google Hangouts Sucks. It sucks so much that someone made a domain name called http://hangoutnow.com that simply points to the google hangout. A total fail in accessibility and ease of use. Zoom is freaking amazing. Distributed teams of 20+ and it has high fidelity connections and speed. I'd recommend this to anyone in the fast paced high cost manufacturing space where every second means $25-$100

FYI: While it may have been valid 2 years ago, that hangoutsnow link sets off malware warnings for me in Chrome / Safari.

To me, the killer feature is the Zooms Rooms app and how simple it makes video conferencing in a room with a large screen. Our company uses an iPad mini in every conference room, two 55" monitors to allow screen sharing while still seeing the speaker, and a Mac mini to drive the meeting and handle the video and audio (which we manage with the wonderful Jabra 410 speakerphone). This setup is second to none.

I can't say enough good things about Zoom. It's like getting a glass of cool water when you're stranded in the desert. One feature idea though... use the camera to record who keeps messing with the cables between meetings...

Zoom.us rocks....I use it for all my company comms for screen shares and such and we use it for ALL EO (Entrepreneur's Organization) calls

Excellent product - it's good to see Zoom get some buzz.

Zoom has been a life saver in our remote team. Easy to use, quick to share with team members and customers, definitely one of the best options available.

Personally I don't see the value of having YET ANOTHER video conference solution. It's like someone making another music service.

I'm curious about this, does it work when you plug into a TV via a HDMI cable? That's the #1 pain point for us, the sound and mic get all screwed up when we use hangouts and project on a TV. The sound comes through the TV but the mic may not work, sometimes the opposite. It's to the point where we use hangouts for screensharing and a dial in for voice. Yes we've tried adjusting the settings for the hangout as well as the sound settings on the mac and it still has issues.

Is this better than the one Dinesh was working on while at Pied Piper?

First video conference on Zoom today. I liked it but only time will tell whether it replaces Skype or Hangouts for me.

Truly one of the only video/screen sharing apps I've used that worked practically all of the time! Do yourself a favor, try it out.

Feature Suggestion: I would love to see a trello.com integration into your cloud video conferencing technology to boost productivity! I hope this helps! Best, JB.

I like appear.in. Design is freaking simple and it just works.
Jack Van Antwerp
@edwinshalim I've been using for far flung places like Africa etc, even driving down the highway with the mobile app and it's been amazing. I'm curious about zoom but appear.in would be hard to beat I think. (and the free version is plenty for me)
Edwin Halim
@jack_van_antwerp Well I've had the chances to use zoom. I can say that the software is reliable but oh man they need to work on their UI/UX. I'd say appear.in for more casual users or smaller teams, zoom for them business and corporate people.
Jack Van Antwerp
@edwinshalim Yes it does sound like zoom is more enterprise focused. I haven't used it or needed it yet, been blown away by appear.in
Marlon Wayne
@edwinshalim right? I don't know why more people don't use appear.in
Will Brown
@edwinshalim Completely agree. appear.in is FREE requires no downloads and just works every time. great for meetings or ad-hoc product demos

Tried them all. Cursed at the all. This is the best. Hand down. Their Codecs (nerd talk for how good the video/voice is), are sensational. I often hold 2 hr video calls over 4G while driving to Palo Alto (professional driver, do not attempt at home) . Go get it.

Use it for Board and Committee communications for the Idaho Walk Bike Alliance as those of us on the board are scattered all over the state. Meeting in person is not always an option. Zoom has worked really well for us so far!

We've been using Zoom for years. I dont know how they do it, but the quality and reliability are ridiculously amazing. We use it several times a day for our distributed team. Skype and Hangouts simply dont cut it for team calls. They are buggy, audio gets out of sync, not to mention the 15 minutes it takes for new people to figure it out and get on the call. Way to go zoom!

We have a distributed team, and we use zoom all day every day to stay connected and quickly jump into conversations when needed. It is really easy to connect on mobile and desktop.
