Why Zoho Meeting is the best alternative to Zoom?

No downloads required

Unnecessary downloads occupy drive space and make desktops vulnerable to security threats. Zoho Meeting is an online meeting solution that works well on all modern browsers. It is a great zoom alternative for video conferencing as it works without downloads and gives importance to protecting your privacy.

No third-party apps

Zoho Meeting is an online meeting software built entirely by Zoho from scratch. It does not depend on any third-party apps for any of its functionalities. Zoho Meeting also will never share users' data with third parties for commercial purposes, making it a secure alternative to Zoom. We take user trust and safety seriously.

Equal table stakes

Zoho Meeting gives you all the necessary features you need to conduct an online meeting. This includes audio, video, recording, screen sharing, remote access, phone audio, chat, and moderator controls. You won't miss out on any of the features you need to have a successful online meeting if you select Zoho Meeting as your alternative to Zoom.

Moderator controls

Meeting hosts can use moderator controls to moderate discussions. Mute individual participants or all participants during a meeting and cut background noise. Remove participants from your meeting when they are no longer required for your discussion or if they become disruptive.

Your consent is important

Zoho Meeting always requests your consent before performing important actions, like turning your web camera on or allowing another participant take control of your computer during online meetings. It does not give unnecessary privileges to meeting hosts and administrators to monitor attendees' screens, which would be a violation of privacy.

Lock meetings

Lock your meetings to keep them safe from unexpected intruders like hackers and abusers. No one can enter a locked meeting without the permission of the meeting host, even if they have the joining link.

Storage for recordings

Record important meetings without worrying about exhausting your file storage space. Zoho Meeting lets you store a fixed number of meeting recordings according to your plan, regardless of how large your recording files are.

Automated emails

Schedule meetings and add participants to send automated email invitations and reminders. Meeting emails contain the topic, date, time, meeting link, calendar link, and phone audio details required for participants to join meetings. You can also use the RSVP feature to track which participants will attend a meeting. This is another unique feature that makes Zoho Meeting a good Zoom alternative.

Security first

Zoho Meeting safely encrypts all your Personal Identification Information (PII). This means that Zoho Meeting cannot read or interpret any information shared during an online meeting. All transmissions take place through SSL/128-bit AES encryption protocol which is the industry standard security practice. Learn more about security and privacy in Zoho Meeting.

Affordable subscription

Zoho Meeting is reasonably priced, which makes it an affordable Zoom alternative for small businesses.. Anyone can evaluate Zoho Meeting before they subscribe, using a trial edition, which Zoom does not offer. Zoho Meeting users can conduct meetings for as long as they want even in the free edition unlike Zoom, which exerts a 40-minute cut-off limit.

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. Users can now sign in to their Zoho Meeting account and start meetings from the iOS app.

Integrations with other Zoho apps

Zoho Meeting is currently integrated with Zoho CRM, Zoho Bookings, and Zoho Projects. 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.
