By now, we all now of Zoom...that whole pandemic thing made it impossible to miss...Zoom is a video conferencing app. It's an easy-to-use platform that allows users to connect with others through live video, voice calls and screen sharing. You can use Zoom for free for 1 hour per month but you will need a paid plan in order to host meetings longer than that, record your sessions or use additional features like call recording or screen sharing.
There are three types of Zoom accounts: Basic, Pro, and Business.

Basic accounts are free, but they are best suited for personal use by individuals who need to collaborate on projects or want to share information with a few people at once. If you have a business with multiple individuals that have client or department meetings, you will want to invest in upgrading beyond basic.
Pro accounts have no time limit, can record to the cloud, and will allow up to 100 participants. This is ideal for businesses that need to record videos. Pro accounts cost $29.99 per month per host. Recording your meetings can be a great resource and good for accountability. You can reference any conversations or sales meetings. Consider integrating rewind.ai to make your video meetings searchable in Zoom!
