Zoom is also sadly the absolute worst meeting software.
Even moreso if you're not an English speaker since the UI translations are terrible and most of them don't make sense in context - the interface is confusing as is, my parents stood absolutely no chance in figuring out how to work it.
- afiori 5y agoZoom has one feature that at times is invaluable, it allows you to disable incoming videos while keeping your camera active. Meet has a presentation mode that acts similarly but you need to join as a presentation and to go back to normal you need to exit and reenter
- jrockway 5y agoNo, the UI doesn't make sense to English speakers either. It is very clear that people working on the software aren't native speakers of English. Typos and grammatical errors galore, and they never get fixed.
- helmholtz 5y agoWhat? Zoom is miles better than Skype or Vidyo or WebEx or whatever the fuck else I'd had to use before Zoom. Zoom is the absolute BEST meeting software that I've ever used. Setting up meetings is a cinch, sharing the meeting links is no bother, it syncs up with your calendar, screensharing is easy, annotating is available, it even has built in polling. I get that they're a shady as shit company with perhaps very little respect for your privacy, but their video calling UI is best in class. No one I talk with (not the most tech savvy bunch) has any trouble with "I don't hear you!" type rubbish anymore.
