Welcome to this wonderful post as today, we will be guiding on how best to schedule a meeting on Zoom. Video conferencing grew throughout 2020 due to the pandemic, being used by a large number of companies around the world. Teleworking remains an important part of the company , which is why the commitment is to have an application that adapts to all needs, whether it is a small or large company.
One of the applications that has grown over the years has been Zoom, a tool developed by Eric Yuan in 2011, and which has only taken off for the last three years. Zoom is an app with which to hold a meeting with up to 100 participants as a maximum allowed.
The participants will receive an email with a link, clicking on it will take you to the meeting created by an administrator, who will be able to attend, view and record the session. We are going to explain how to schedule a meeting on Zoom , both on the web
Zoom, a tool with a free version
Zoom at the moment adds a free version of the application , although it has limits, among them the sessions created have a maximum duration of 40 minutes. The limit in addition to the participants is 100, growing in the paid versions of the platform created by Yuan.
The application has a fairly easy environment, its operation is simple and we can make a call with a large group of people, always having the decision made by the admin. It will be the one that even controls everything about those who enter , being able to silence and even remove the video image from users.

Among its limitations, Zoom in its free version does not include storage space either, although it adds a whiteboard, in addition the administrator and people will be able to talk by text and share files. The admin will be the one to decide when the session ends, having a limited time (40 minutes in the free version and unlimited in the other paid versions).
