Zoom Workplace

I love how Zoom has made being in more than one place at the same time so easy. Clear communication, high quality video and audio and ease of screensharing are other features that I appreciate. The light adjustment is amazing. I don't need to worry about having an external light source. I also like all the background options that create a nice setting and also protect your privacy.

There is a cap on the number of attendees for free Zoom which is understandable. I haven't had any significant problem with Zoom.

Zoom Workplace makes it quick and simple to set up Meetings that integrate well with the Google Calendar. It has personally helped me immensely with my career to be able to meet my teams virtually, as we are international. The Chat feature during meetings helps a lot in terms of being able to send links within the Meeting itself, rather than another third-party service.

For my business, we save on operating expenses by using the free version of Zoom Workplace. However, this comes at the cost of Meetings having a 40 minute timer before it kicks everyone out. This can be remedied by simply rejoining using the same link, or setting up a new meeting. Even so, this timer is an unnecessary hindrance that makes us look unprofessional. If Zoom lets up simply rejoin to reset the timer, they should just increase the timer duration to at least an hour or remove the duration to begin with.
