Zoom Events and Webinars

Pros

Easy interface, Varity of features and promising connectivity will be the best features for me.

Cons

Improvements can be made to the remote control while using screen share. other then that, everything is perfect.

Pros

Its a really high performing tool. We have used Livestorm in the past which was fine but Zoom is familiar for everyone using it and requires little to no training to get going. It has so many tools that allow you to run professional webinars, unlike any we have experienced to-date.

Cons

It can become quite costly when you have lots of users, and large numbers of attendees joining the webinars.

Pros

It has break out room feature as well to break the large audiences into smaller groups this feature I like the most

Cons

sometimes it lags if the number of participants increases a little and customer service is not up to the mark

Pros

Zoom is a pioneer in the video meeting space and for that, I will always feel a bit nostalgic about it. I like the background noise canceling (and the various degrees of background noise canceling) the best, as well as the ease of changing the background.

Cons

I don't like that there is no option to do the Zoom meeting through the web browser - the app has to be downloaded to be accessed. It also updates without warning and I have been late many times due to the spontaneous and long updates (although the big changes are not really felt). The chat can also look quite messy if you want to message someone individually vs make a comment to the whole group.

Pros

This is the best tool we have that runs consistently smooth no matter how many people we have attend. Also it keeps all the users anonminity which is vital for our customers privacy

Cons

This is not so much on Zoom, but some companies will not allow their employees to use Zoom.

Pros

Convenient and widely used. Zoom's interface is user friendly.

Cons

It's not so much that Zoom is bad - it's that there are better options out there - with less limitations.

What I liked most about Zoom Events and Webinars is their comprehensive suite of features that enhance both the attendee and organizer experience.

What I liked least about Zoom Events and Webinars is the occasional complexity of navigating the settings menu. It can take a bit of time to find and adjust specific features. However, this is a insignificant issue.

Pros

Zoom is a fantastic tool when using it to host events and webinars. My favorite features are breakout rooms, being able to assign co-hosts, and ability to mute attendees.

Cons

When a person joins, they are given the option to turn off their camera in the beginning, but I haven't seen the option to turn off the mic too. This causes hosts and attendees to often unknowingly join with their mic on. It would be great to have a feature that automatically keeps the mic off when joining.

The interactive tools such as the chat feature keeps the audience more engaged. I also love the whiteboard feature and it collaboration features.

Pros

As someone with zero experience in event set up, its user-friendly interface makes it easy! I was hesitant at first to venture into this territory but knew our company would benefit and grow from giving it a try. We have been able to reach so many more people because of it! It has elevated our company with features like screen sharing, live captions, and Q&A sessions enhancing the overall experience for everyone. It is customizable, easy to brand, and the support team has been incredible in helping us navigate the platform.

Cons

As with many platforms of this kind, the audio and video quality can be inconsistent. Even after upgrading our equipment, we ran into issues with the quality that were a poor reflection of the content we wanted to represent our company. Zoom was tremendous though with helping us troubleshoot.

Pros

Zoom Events are very exciting and creative you get to see the actual progress of a particular project or event you have been planning. Its a concise structure of abilities and capabilities building together as a team player.

Cons

What I would say about most zooms webinars are a slight bit timely the plus side is all the great information positive impacts on self awareness and self confidence the endless opportunities that approach once in attendance of an event and all the motivational speakers, teachers, listeners and thinkers together in one setting. Time is all we need to become successful.

Not sure of the price points used, could at times be quit glitchy and would create a drop off of attendees with their lost of credit for attending.

Pros

The zoom matric tool has the best option, and it help track Realtime engagements. The high-quality visual streaming and a complete control of the feature within the app is excellence.

Cons

Only one feature which I find difficult is the screen and admin setting features. There are every less details mention within the app about the tool settings which often leads to confusions.

The Zoom events has room for improvement, but the technology probably has to catch up with their need. It has most of the tools and apps to assist it.
