Zoom is a cloud-based video communications application that allows users to set up virtual video and audio conferencing, live chats, screen-sharing, and other collaborative capabilities. Zoom is accessible on a computer desktop or mobile device.

Licensed users can host meetings with unlimited minutes for up to 300 participants.
