I cannot find the words to express how grateful I am…
I am the survivor of an attempted murder by an active shooter. I now live with one bullet in my back and many pieces of shrapnel in my chest that require monthly doctors visits. This application has made this task so much easier and I cannot find the words to express how grateful I am. I live on a very fixed income and would not be able to afford this platform. The fact that I am able to access this without having to pay is so very generous. 5 star rating as this application has been easy to use and reliable….every time. And you needn’t be a “computer genius” to use this either. I was born in a time when the idea of the internet was totally unknown. To have the freedom to visually meet with others without having company or to leave your home would’ve been seen as “crazy” or “impossible” but here we are. For better or worse. This application, ZOOM is all for the better. Thank you ZOOM Team.

Zoom has perks but one flaw or maybe two
Ok so I’m not sure if my review came listed so I’ll try again in case it does not show so here we go I got zoom a while ago I was introduced to it and I liked and plus used it for when I had meetings with my job coach and when Covid-19 messed up family gatherings and visit and caused a lockdown so I introduced my brother to it and he uses it same for my friend Matthew and there is a few flaws in the way one of them is the call meeting limit for those that don’t have the whole zoom plan and apparently I am not pleased with having to make new rooms over and over again everytime it’s close to the limit waste of my time second is I want to find the option to go to the full plan on the mobile app but where is it???? I can’t seem to find it at all please for the love of god add it to make life easier for mobile users that would be a big help.
Appreciate the app but if those can be fixed I’ll consider a more suitable review in the future.
Thanks

Great for social and work meetings
I am very pleased with Zoom for social catchups in this lockdown situation - lovely for a 5 o’clock drink with friends. Likewise it’s great for planned and impromptu business meetings which are also so important in lock down. Lastly, for church small groups it easily handles conversations from 6 and more homes. Ease of use, clarity of sound and picture, and continuity of connection combine to distinguish it from other video systems I’ve used. Bryce Whitcher, Auckland, NZ.

Zoom
I mean, zoom is awesome, duh! I highly recommend downloading this is for your meetings especially just getting on with each other and having fun. A update that I don’t like so much would be the pro plan. The pro plan gets 80 minutes because each meeting in normal lasts 40 and it gives you another 40. (I’m not sure if this is accurate it’s just what I think). But it has the upsides because it has its very own chat! And you can have your own nickname. Kids use it normally as long as they are older then 6 or 5? Don’t correct me. Anyways, this app is pretty cool again because they really put hard work connecting you to your friends and family. If you download this you’ll just love it and want never to delete it. One time, (since COVID 19 is happening) I was with my class doing this and it was so much easier because I could keep them on mute and much other stuff. I also liked the backgrounds you could put on it. End of my Review, Zoom is awesome.

Student debt
Calls such as these, are more beneficial than anyone can say. Informative and effective in rallying the troops, and giving us direction as we work through this together. Like soo many things, we often times feel like we’re alone, example mental health or employment. But, in actuality, others are experiencing some of the same issues. SDC has hung in with this crisis from day one.
I’m a senior, and we’re on a fixed income. We’re doing the best we can paying the private loan but we would be devastated even more if we had to go back to paying on the $100k+ federal loans.
Thank you SDC for all your help. The call was great! The calls are always great! We just need the President to act on his campaign promise. I would hate to think that our hopes and our votes based on those promises, were for not. Just another wasteful act in our lives, but, you can’t say we didn’t try! MARCH ON!!!

An amazing teaching tool
Moving to Zoom saved our college literally tens of thousands of dollars a year compared to the last program we used for meetings, teaching and clinical supervision. We have about 5000 students, and more than half of those use Zoom for online classes. It is a stable, easy to use platform. We do individual sessions and classes of up to 24 students and their teacher. You can use it for free for meetings of up to 40 minutes. And the paid subscription is really affordable if you need longer sessions. Follow up comments. Now working as a psychotherapist. Just amazing how well people can feel connected with Zoom. It meant our large clinic was able to support the community (and across the whole continent for face to face counselling during a very stressful pandemic. Life-saving stuff. Literally.

A budget for buying votes or backing workers.
Thank you Ebony. An excellent Zoom link-up, with two very clear and comprehensive speakers today. Usually, a topic like this, can lose you, with stats, however, both Michele and Greg spoke on their topics with great knowledge, background experience coming through, and with great clarity. Thanks to them both. The Scandinavian model would be a great subject one day to have and the return to impoverishment when the Job Seeker payments returned to ‘the disposable’ mentality and homelessness sky rocketed would also. As the speakers eluded to, “…if the funding could be found for pandemic assistance, why cannot the funding be found to give people seeking a job, an equitable opportunity? Distribute the funding that goes to ‘pork barrelling’ to more just causes, to avoid predictable, unsavoury consequences.

Improvements are needed!
Some improvements are needed for example: 1. The Clear history. Their should be a way to clear only certain parts of the history and not the complete field. For example, I take a class that the ID# changes for the winter, spring and summer. I just want to get rid of the old #’s only for that one class. I tried to do that and it cleared out everything. Which meant I had to re-enter all those numbers that I needed to keep. WHAT A PAIN!!! You should have a selection of what you want to keep or not keep without having to clear out the complete history field. You should also add a section where you can put in notes. For example yoga 930 the note would be Jennifer. If this feature is all ready in the app where is it?! How do I get access to that feature? I can’t seem to find it. And this is something else that should be added. When you come out with your next upgrade can you please consider adding these features in? Thanks. P. Tennyson

Definitely Great App 😊
Zoom is an app I have had it for almost 3 years now. It enabled me to chat, call and see my friends and family over the lockdown. It is easy to use when you get used to it but at first when I got it I was very confused about how to call people, or make a scheduled call/meeting. It allows you to virtually see people you may not have seen in ages. Other apps like font apps and gif apps work on it, making it cheerful. I recommend it to anyone and everyone! It is really helpful but as I have mentioned very very confusing when you first get it. But gradually as you use it more it gets easier, and I would’ve done 4 and a half stars but obviously you cannot do that.
Anyway thank you. Peace out ✌️

Great app but…
I have used this app since January 2020 and it has been great but for my meetings it has been hard to really see peoples reactions so I hide non-video participants all great works a charm but when we have to raise our hands to do something it only shows the people with videos on which makes it annoying because I don’t want to have to put the participants list up so I have to show non-video participants and then it ruins it for me and I know at least 100 people and I’m sure there are more who like there to be a filter so that while not showing non-video participants ones that out there hand up can be shown. But other than great job on Zoom but I would like to see that feature mentioned earlier for pc as well.
