Why should you use Zoho Meeting?
Avoid unnecessary downloads
Data exposure and privacy risks are a real threat in today's world. Stay away from downloads that occupy drive space and make desktops vulnerable to security threats. Zoho Meeting does not require you to download any software to conduct online meetings. It also does not use or share any information with third-party apps.
Notify through email
Use emails to inform participants about newly scheduled meetings. Invitation emails contain the agenda, time, and the joining link for meetings. Participants can add meetings to their calendar from the invitation email and also send RSVPs. Emails can also be sent when you reschedule a meeting, share a recording, or need to remind a participant about a meeting they will be attending.
Record, store, and share
Record meetings and store them on the cloud. Zoho Meeting stores recordings based on number so you can stop worrying about file size. Share recordings with anyone you want or download them for offline use.
Request or give control
Request control of the screen that is shared during a meeting. This will facilitate better collaboration as the person in control of the screen can use their mouse and keyboard to contribute to a document or presentation that is being shared with everyone in the session.
Your consent is important
Zoho Meeting always requests your consent before performing important actions like turning your web camera on, or letting another participant take control of your computer during online meetings. This means you will have control over the content you share online, be it audio, video, screen sharing, or remote control.
Receive RSVP
Understanding who will be attending is an important aspect of preparing yourself for a meeting. Get notifications whenever someone accepts or declines an invitation.
Phone audio with global coverage
Overcome weak internet connectivity by joining meetings through your phone. Use 100+ local dial-in numbers and 55+ toll-free numbers to join meetings no matter where you are.
Moderator controls
Lock meetings to keep them safe from unexpected intrusions. Mute participants or remove them when they no longer need to be in a session.
Security first
All your Personal Identification Information (PII) gets encrypted in Zoho Meeting. All transmissions take place through SSL/128-bit AES encryption protocol which is the industry standard security practice. This is the same standard used in online banking and payment transactions.
Embed meeting links
Copy and embed meeting links in your organization website. Members of your organization just have to provide their email address, and then they can enter any ongoing meeting they want to participate in.
Join from any device
Take meetings with you on your mobile device. Collaborate effortlessly from wherever you are using the Zoho Meeting apps for iOS and Android.
Integrations with other Zoho apps
Zoho Meeting is currently integrated with Zoho CRM, Zoho Projects, and Zoho Calendar. This means that you can organize and host online meetings from these apps, and also view and share recordings without moving out of your account. Many more integrations with other Zoho Apps are in progress.
Thomas AntolinZoho meeting works every time, which is remarkable since I work with so many clients. Even for those of whom are not particularly computer literate, they are able to link to meet with me online with ease. This remarkable tool helps save gas and time. It also enhances my status as a professional. I love this application. Thanks for keeping it simple. Another happy client, thanks to Zoho meeting!
Vinny Reddy Pacifecon New Zealand If you use Zoho CRM, then this meeting process makes it so much easier to book a meeting. All the details for the meeting are already in the system. So fast and easy. Also, every operating system seems to handle this well without any glitches. I am yet to find a customer who has not been able to connect so far. Hence I am extremely happy.
Dennis Freeman, Homework Coach Perfect for what I need, short one-on-one training for new contractors. It's quick and easy to initiate a session, and I haven't run into any technical issues.
Tolik Rozensteins, Security & Vetting Solutions Ltd Very useful meeting tools. As we use Zoho CRM for our CRM and accounts, it was an easy choice to use Zoho Meeting as well. Very good for remote demos.
Chandra Sekar CJ, Manager Compliance We have used various international products but never seen such crisp and user-friendly options. Also, the support provided by Zoho team is outstanding.
