It’s uhmm… decent
With a variety of video calling apps out there you would think that zoom would upgrade “up” instead of upgrade “down” ( and no, I do not mean downgrade, they upgraded their app and yet made it worse, hence….) putting a time limit on how long you can chat with whomever you choose, and now, they upgraded down and not only kept the call limit in place but managed to separate themselves further from the competition by forcing you to wait 10 after you reach the limit to be able to create a new meeting link. But it’s ok because I’m sure that my loved ones across the world who are on complete opposite time zone don’t mind waiting a pointless 10 mins at 3am for me to call back because the only time I was able to call them was at 2pm( Thailand is 11 hrs ahead of us). It’s only a matter of time before the courthouses decide to switch up if zoom doesn’t stop thinking about trying to force us into buying a premium acct and start applying features that make us want to use it more because it’s easier and less of a hassle than the competition. Wake up ZOOM, you’re going to be forgotten if you continue this selfish and it’s what zoom wants incorrect foresight. Zoom was once the “go-to” for video calls until WhatsApp made them irrelevant for lack of a better more fitting word. If It weren’t that I’m cursed with receiving so many subpoenas, zoom would be just a nostalgic conversation.

Kids can use this?
I just downloaded this today to attend an as meeting online. I couldn’t figure it out to save my life. People kept telling me to turn my volume down on the bottom of my phone and I couldn’t see anywhere to turn anything down. Icons would show up across the bottom that said chat etc I’d go into chat type something and when I got out of chat the icons were gone. I slid right left up down tapped on the bottom the top. Couldn’t even figure out how to change my profile picture. And to think grade schoolers were using this during the pandemic. I guess I’m getting old. I’m 62. I used to be so tech savvy. I could figure any computer problem or app problem out. I was always the first to lend a hand when someone needed cell or pc help. I guess times have changed or my brain is gone because this is really a hard app to figure out to get used to and make yourself look stupid while doing it. Give me back mIRC. The chat program they had before computers had graphics. You could talk/chat with ppl all over the world by typing. I miss those days. The pandemic brought us Zoom. Boooo

One of the best online classes etc u can have!!
If you are looking for an app that you can just have a nice peaceful meeting without any disruption then i wouldnt recommend zoom enough. Since the pandemic, i have and had been using zoom for every online classes that i have. I remember when lockdown first began, our school first started using teams, but teams had a lot of problems and lagginess with it and after about a weeks worth of teachers and students complaining that the quality wasn't good at all, the headteacher then finally decided to go onto zoom. The minute that we had first started, i think everyone could tell the IMENSE difference in quality. (Also for reference i had also used skype before and that wasnt good either)! On that first lesson throught it all i remember there being NO lagging of even the slightest bit! So if you are looking for a website to have just a nice lesson or class without any lagginess etc i would definitely recommend zoom!
