Zoom, a video conferencing app has become an essential for all businesses worldwide during the hard times of the ongoing pandemic. Video conferencing is how everyone is holding meetings these days. Be it official business meeting or school lectures, zoom has become the must have app for everyone.
All this though happened overnight. As the virus spread all of a sudden, businesses and schools found themselves shutting down to curb the spread. Now as there is no cure or vaccine prepared as of yet, businesses and schools are to remain shut indefinitely. But does that means work stops? No. Why? Because there’s zoom and it has made remote working more easy accessible. Here are five reasons why Zoom is a must have app if you’re working from home
It’s easy
For a long time, videoconferencing was something that required downloading software, understanding how to set it up, and complicated dial-in processes. Zoom, on the other hand, is pretty much as easy as FaceTime. Just click on a Zoom link in an invitation and it will launch your meeting. If you don’t have the Zoom app installed, it will prompt you to download and install. It’s fast and simple, which means that it’s something that even the least tech-savvy among us can handle.
It’s accessible
You can also use it on any device. It works on your laptop, iPad, iPhone, desktop, or Android device. That means pretty much anyone can use it, well, anywhere. It’s affordable Also, it helps that Zoom is free to use. You can actually host Zoom meetings for free, which hasn’t been true of its competition. It’s reliable Zoom has held up remarkably well considering the surge in usage over the past few weeks. Sure, it’s had a few glitches, but when you think of the sheer bandwidth and data processing that has to happen to make real-time video meetings possible, it’s actually pretty impressive that the whole thing hasn’t collapsed. And above all it’s fun Zoom is actually pretty fun. For example, instead of hosting a meeting where everyone has to stare at you in your living room, you can add your own background so that it looks like you’re on the beach or in outer space. You might think those types of features are totally unnecessary, and you’d be right. They aren’t. That’s why they’re fun. And, to be honest, right now, everyone can use a little fun.
