About Zoom
Zoom is a collaboration platform for video meetings, team chat, phone calls, webinars and events. It is widely used by businesses, schools and remote teams.
What it does
You start or join video meetings with screen sharing and recording, and you can keep in touch through team chat and voice calls. The platform also includes webinars, a shared whiteboard, and a phone system. Built-in AI can take meeting notes and summarize a call, and it can help draft documents and decks from your work.
