As more and more businesses move to remote with the current events, we are having to find new ways to communicate. One of the leaders in remote communication is Zoom.
Zoom is an amazing, easy to use, free service which allows you to communicate with your team from anywhere!
Main features include:
- Meetings
- View Webinar
- Conference Rooms
- Phone System
- Business IM
As a small business you will be mainly utilising the meetings and chat features of Zoom. The main advantages of using it are:
- Quick and easy to start, join and collaborate across any device.
- Use Zoom on the go with your mobile or tablet.
- Communicate using a webcam, voice chat or share screen.
- Use the chat feature to instantly message other team members on Zoom.
- Integrate Zoom with your mail program to easily send invitations for meetings.
- FREE video calls for 40 minutes for a free account (better than Skype’s free account).
- Extensive knowledge base.
