Zoom

Zoom is a cloud communications platform best known for its video conferencing, offering HD meetings, webinars, and large-scale virtual events that run across desktop, mobile, and browser. Over time it has expanded into a broader workspace that bundles team chat, a cloud phone system, shared whiteboards, email, calendar, and an AI Companion assistant.

It serves enterprises, small businesses, schools, and individuals who need reliable real-time communication whether people work in an office, at home, or on the move. Its reputation rests on simple joining, dependable audio and video quality, and broad device compatibility that made it a default choice during the shift to remote work.

Zoom offers a free tier with time-limited group meetings alongside paid Pro, Business, and Enterprise plans that add capacity, administration, and advanced features. Founded by Eric Yuan in 2011, the company went public in 2019 and is headquartered in San Jose.
