We made the switch to Zoom for Government as soon as it became available — it was important for us to have the security that comes with it. There are a lot of good services out there but they don't meet the security standards for the Department of Defense.
"Zoom offers a variety of features that meet the needs of the education industry. The product is magic, but it’s the people behind the partnership and beyond the tool that we want to work with. Vendors who offer ongoing support and who we can build a relationship with are key for us."
Even though I’ve been on a 4-megabit connection for the last two years, I don’t feel like I’ve missed a step. That would not have been possible without Zoom. Even with other video conferencing technologies, like Teams or Webex, the experience is just not the same. Zoom works in environments where other solutions don’t.
“Before we started using Zoom, we used a different solution for each use case, whether it was recording meetings or hosting webinars or hosting meetings. But now we can get all that functionality in one solution, so it’s easier for us to manage and it’s easier for the end users.”
“Slack is one of my favorite integrations with Zoom. It takes just a second to start a meeting with the ‘/zoom’ command. It’s really easy. And when you have Slack and Zoom, you are fully efficient at Deezer.”
“We wanted a delivery model that would allow students to move seamlessly from in-person to online, and for a teacher to be able to go into their classroom from home.”
“Zoom and Neat have allowed the schools to maintain continuity of instruction in a predictable and stable manner, so education is as distraction-free as it can be. The combination of Zoom and the Neat Bar makes it seamless for the teacher.”
“Zoom enabled Martin to drive the programme from our headquarters, whilst I conducted interviews and read the news from my home in London. Not only was my autocue text delivered from London, but I was also enabled through Zoom to see and hear the people I was interviewing clearly and in real-time. In effect, Zoom managed to recreate the very conditions that I have had in the studio during my 31 years of anchoring Channel 4 News. Zoom gave me confidence and certainty and enabled me to work from home with no diminution of service.”
“With Zoom, I know the presenter is reading the script that I can see on the screen in the control room. There is less room for error — the presenter is much better connected to the studio. Last-minute changes to scripts (we have a lot of those) are always reflected in what the presenter is seeing on their autocue.”
“We could outfit 10 classrooms with Zoom for the price of one with our old video conferencing solution. The audio is very clear with Zoom, even in low bandwidth environments. Teachers can also record their meetings with Zoom, which is important for our student body because if they live in Australia or some other location, they can’t stay up all night to attend a lecture at noon in Paris.”
“In terms of platforms, we evaluated a lot of different solutions based on risk, accessibility, familiarity with the audience, ease of use, and things like what features they had and which ones were important to us."
“Part of the reason we went with Zoom was because of the high quality of the video and audio, and Zoom readily integrates with GSuite, which was a big part of our decision because it’s much easier to schedule meetings and create recurring meetings.”
“I entered one classroom to find the teacher had left Zoom open for questions during independent working time and the whole class was humming along to a tune together. The sense of connectedness was impressive.”
“The beauty of the [Zoom] trial was that we had not a single delay. Everything was seamless, which doesn’t happen, even in court. Zoom enabled the judge to focus on witnesses, exhibits, and questioning attorneys with fewer distractions than would normally occur in the courtroom.”
“What we like about Zoom is how versatile it is. Through the open API we can create all sorts of integrations and automations that will benefit us as a business and help us grow faster.”
