Getting Started with Zoom
Zoom unifies cloud video conferencing, online meetings, and group messaging into one easy-to-use platform. In addition, it offers the best video, audio, and wireless screen-sharing experience across multiple platforms.
Video sessions in Zoom are similar to sessions conducted in a traditional classroom, where small groups of students meet separately to brainstorm and collaborate. You can set up video sessions in your Zoom meeting room to engage in real-time, private, and group discussions.
