Technology is an important part of many businesses, especially during the lockdown due to the COVID-19 outbreak. Zoom, like many other video conferencing tools, allows them to host online meetings when meeting in-person isn’t available. However, first-time users might struggle to use them effectively. That is why we want to write an article to show you how to use Zoom and some of the most useful tips.

Zoom is a conferencing platform that you can use for audio conferencing, meeting recordings, webinars, live chat, and video conferencing meetings. Zoom is currently the most popular video conferencing solution for firms with fewer than 500 employees and is also the second-most popular one for firms with more than 500 employees, behind Skype for Business. According to the company’s S-1 filing early last year, over half of Fortune 500 companies are currently using Zoom.

1. First, you need to choose the right plan that your team needs - Zoom pricing plans

There are a total of four pricing tiers available for your business subscription (excluding a Zoom Room subscription)

• Zoom Free: This is the best choice if you want to try out Zoom or you are working solo or with a few other people. With Zoom Free, you can still hold as many meetings as you want. However, as for group meetings, you can only host one meeting for a maximum of 40 minutes and meeting recording is unavailable.
• Zoom Pro: This could be the best choice if you are looking for a video conferencing app for a small team with a few members. It is priced at $14.99 / month / meeting host, which is equivalent to around Rs. 1,140. You can host a group meeting for a maximum of 24 hours and record it on your devices or in the cloud. In addition, you can also create an ID for the group meeting for recurring Zoom meetings.
• Zoom Business: As you can tell by its name, this is the best option for Small and medium-sized enterprises (SME) with at least several teams that need to schedule Zoom meetings regularly. It costs $19.99 / month / meeting host (minimum 10 hosts), which is equivalent to around Rs. 1,500. With this plan, you can brand their meetings with vanity URLs and company branding, transcripts of their Zoom meetings recorded, and dedicated customer support.
• Zoom Enterprise: It is for large businesses with over 1,000 employees as this plan offers users to record an unlimited amount of meetings, a dedicated customer success manager, and discounts on Zoom Rooms and webinars. This Zoom plan costs $19.99 / month / meeting host (minimum 50 hosts).
