Zoom is a video platform that is used for communications purposes like meetings, calls, chats, and different online events. Communication plays a crucial role for every growing business to achieve its goal. Zoom allows users to communicate in any part of the world from sitting at their homes, offices, etc. It is easy to set up, use and manage and provide single platforms for chats, webinars, and meetings. It supports both desktop and mobile users. Zoom can be used for personal, educational, and business purposes. The free version of zoom is perfect for small businesses as they have only a handful number of employees. Large firms contain a large number of employees and hence paid service is available for them. Zoom platform also supports social media integration like zoom live on Facebook.
