Warm greetings to all steemians, hope you all are doing good! My name is Zaid and this is my review on Zoom exclusively on the Steemit Pakistan community.

Introduction

Zoom Opening Interface

Since the pandemic, most probably all of us have used Zoom at some point to join or host a meeting. No matter what it is, either it is an online class or online meeting conference, or just for chatting with friends. During this time, Zoom has become more than just a video calling platform, it is now connected and became intrinsic to the way we work at offices, schools, colleges, or universities. To those who don't know about this software, Zoom is a video teleconferencing software whose aim is to connect people all around the world with a single touch. No matter where you are, you can start or join meetings with secure and flawless audio and video sharing, it's not just limited to it, you can screen share, co-annotate documents to brainstorm, and unlimited messaging. About 3.3 trillion minutes of meetings are hosted on zoom each year, has more than 300 million participants who are active on Zoom daily Source of statistics. Zoom now has more than 500 million downloads on the Google play store.


Features

  • Online meetings from anywhere

As aforementioned, Zoom is a video conferencing software that never fails to provide high-definition video quality, smooth and clear audio quality with advanced background noise suppression, and unlimited other resources to help users deal with daily communication. It has proved itself as a number 1 beast in customer service and experience because of its user-friendly interface, easy-to-navigate buttons, and rich in amazing and outstanding features. It's totally free to join or host meetings from anywhere and you know the best thing, you can invite up to 100 participants and can see 49 participants video or screen sharing at once, Isn't that amazing? Zoom also allows cross-platforms so you can log in and connect with others using any type of device with any type of OS installed.
  • Real-time collaboration

My freind set this virtual background -_-
It's important to understand that Zoom is not just an ordinary app, it's a super app for communication that contains everything you will ever need right into your smartphone or your pc. You can not only share video but can also screen share to present your slides or give a real-time formal presentation. You can message to all the people as a group or select an individual and private message within the online meeting. While screen sharing, anyone who is allowed to annotate to the screen can annotate it, so it's possible that everyone in the meeting can annotate, these little tools are the things that level up the software reviews. Annotations are very important in the field of teaching, our teachers annotated on white and blackboards in the pre-covid times, Zoom made it easy because it is a natural way to teach the students by showing them different patterns.

Now, communication is not only limited to just talking face to face in this era, it's more than that now, it is the way of sharing ideas, photos, images, thoughts, files, slides, and references right? Zoom got you covered in that too. With the help of Zoom, you can share images, files of any type to the whole group or just particular individuals. Believe me, this feature helped me a lot.


Comparison

Since the pandemic, we've seen two of the most prominent and dominant software which are Zoom and other is Meet. When I was first introduced to Zoom and Meet, I was definitely liking Meet because meetings are web-based so we didn't have to download but the Meet at that time, let's just say, was not evolved as much as Zoom. If Meet was anywhere near the app it is now, Meet would've taken the lead long ago. Zoom, since its launch in 2013, was working hard to give users a friendly environment with their software and thus has become the #1 app for video conferencing but not to forget, Meet is much better now than it was before, many improvements have been made but that doesn't beat the fact the Zoom is still at the top of the league. You can learn something from here,

"First impression is the last impression".

I've used Zoom since the start of pandemic for my online university classes. My siblings also used that for school and college works. Ive personally asked them and my friend bilal what is better ? Zoom or Meet, they all gave me the same answer, Zoom. I'm personally happy to use this app and I think it has everything a meeting software should have.

This is all from my side for the theme #tuesday-review. I hope you guys enjoyed reading it, do let me know what you think about this review. Until then,

If I personally talk over my experience keeping the rank of zoom at the side. I love Google Meet. The meet is easy to access It has been giving a smooth call service.
There is no time limit. Like in zoom one session is of 40 minutes ig so if you have to discuss something in detail. it's done in chunks.

And I guess this whole impression about meet is because I have been using it since the pandemic has begun.

I believe majorly it's on the usage that I have used meet since starting and my sister is a teacher she's using zoom so whenever we both have words over this we are always on opp. She keeps telling benefits of zoom and I keep repeating of meet.


I really didn't know this,

With the help of Zoom, you can share images, files of any type to the whole group or just particular individuals

You have discussed it so well indeed zoom is also a great software having all the important features that an app should have. After reading this, thinking to give one more chance to Zoom :p

Yeah, I completely agree with your every point on Meet.
I didn't say that I dislike it, on the contrary, I prefer online classes on Meet more than on Zoom now due to the same reason you mentioned.

What set my mood off from Meet is that, when we started online classes back then, it was my first semester, everyone was new to the concept of online meeting. Some students used to kick out teachers as Meet didn't implement the admin option yet. It was fun at times but excess of it was just straight disrespecting the teacher and that was the sole reason, the university moved from Meet to Zoom.

Now, Meet has revamped its entire user interface and is way better and I also mentioned,

"If Meet was anywhere near the app it is now, Meet would've taken the lead long ago."

Some students used to kick out teachers as Meet didn't implement the admin option yet

Hehe! then I must say we all are so innocent :p we didn't know any such option and even never tried to.
A great review by you :))
