Zoom has become a prominent video conferencing platform, particularly since 2020. Here's my analysis:
Strengths:
User-friendly interface that's relatively easy for new users to navigate
Reliable performance even with slower internet connections
Good features for large meetings (breakout rooms, polls, hand raising)
Screen sharing and recording capabilities
Works across multiple devices and operating systems
Limitations:
Security concerns have emerged over time (though many have been addressed)
Quality can degrade with many video participants
Meeting fatigue due to the nature of video calls
Free tier has time limits on group calls
Some advanced features require paid subscriptions
