The World is Connecting Online: Zoom.us
"Zoom is probably the most well-received collaboration tool that we've seen at Fox in 20 years.
There is no other tool that has brought people closer together than Zoom."
You will notice that many of the Meet Ups which were organised to meet in person are now organised online. And why not…..pour yourself a glass of something, settle in at home in your favourite corner and join us women in our sixties as we chat through zoom.us to share our stories. Eat, drink and be merry without the worry of driving, parking or finding the right place to meet!!
What is Zoom?
Zoom is a cloud-based video conferencing service you can use to virtually meet with others - either by video or audio-only or both, all while conducting live chats - and it lets you record those sessions to view later. Over half of Fortune 500 companies reportedly used Zoom in 2019.
When people are talking about Zoom, you'll usually hear the following phrases: Zoom Meeting and Zoom Room. A Zoom Meeting refers to a video conferencing meeting that's hosted using Zoom. You can join these meetings via a webcam or phone. Meanwhile, a Zoom Room is the physical hardware setup that lets companies schedule and launch Zoom Meetings from their conference rooms.
Here are Zoom's core 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.
I believe the only way to learn about this valuable online social connect is to download the App and start using it! It is an opening for us all to connect to the world without leaving our home; such an important tool for us in these uncertain times.
