What do I need to use Zoom?
For a 1-to-1 Zoom meeting, you only need a laptop, desktop PC, or mobile phone with an Internet connection, camera and microphone. Zoom meetings can, therefore, be set up almost everywhere. If you want to call multiple people in a room video, a Zoom Room is required.
Is Zoom free to use?
Zoom is free to use but has multiple paid versions with more options. The software is available for Windows, Linux, and macOS. There are apps for iOS and Android.
There are multiple video calling or video conferencing services, such as Skype or Microsoft Teams, and Zoom is one of the best available options. In fact, Zoom is one of the most accessible forms of video calling for organizing online meetings. Unlike these similar programs, Zoom is really all about the online meetings. The software is easy to install and to use.
The free version does have some limitations but is still extremely suitable for most people. With the free version, group video calling is limited to 40 minutes, but one-on-one calls don’t have this limit. A maximum of 100 people may participate in a conversation. It is not necessary for others to have a Zoom account to participate in a conversation. You simply share a link with others and click on it and participate directly in your conversation.

After logging in, you will find yourself on a clear dashboard with multiple shortcuts. It is possible to participate in a conversation here, for which you need to enter a meeting ID or a personal link. You’ll get this ID from the person that invited you. Furthermore, if you start a meeting yourself, you invite people via a link or meeting ID. You first set a date and time for the meeting. It is possible to choose both video and audio, which is the most logical, or only for audio. Scheduling and adding conversations to the built-in calendar is possible, and they can be shared with others or added to your own calendar, setting reminders and there’s another feature to share your display.
