In times of pandemic and isolation some of the previously not widely used video conferencing applications like Zoom became very relevant in the world. It was no longer just a matter of scheduling meetings for work or specific communication or marketing teams, but now people needed to communicate.
Keeping in touch from a distance became essential. Different areas, such as education, had to adjust and provide their students with a videoconferencing platform.
Another area was the homes or apartments themselves, which became home, work, school and the space to communicate with those closest to us, from family members to neighbors. One thing we learned from this pandemic is the need for communication that we human beings have.
Undoubtedly, one of the most downloaded applications was the Zoom videoconferencing platform. It is a videoconferencing service through the cloud, which brings people together virtually, either by audio and video. It also has options such as: meeting recordings to watch them again, private or public chats in parallel, screen sharing, activation of subtitles, among others.
It is a virtual platform that provides great resources and is very easy to use. It also has different payment plans and one free plan. Although the paid plans offer more options and tools, the free plan has its benefits and if you use it regularly for work meetings with several people, study or hobbies with friends, there is no need for another plan.
