Zoom Overview

Zoom is a cloud-based video communication tool that allows users to set up virtual video/audio conferencing, webinars, live chats, screen sharing, and other collaborative capabilities. Zoom offers a free basic account that supports unlimited one-on-one meetings and large group meetings (3–100 participants) up to 40 minutes in length. If the basic account is not sufficient for local units, the Church has made available one enterprise license per unit.
