Zoom is an online communication platform that allows users to connect through the use of video, audio and chat.
Users can join, start, or schedule meetings. While in a meeting, participants can share their video and turn on their microphones to interact with the video. Participants can also use the chat feature in a meeting to further interact and ask questions of the host. Meetings can be recorded either locally or on the cloud for easy retrieval.
