Eight favorite features of the professional versions of Zoom Meetings.

Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, it is difficult to find a person in the educational and business environment who does not know Zoom. But do you know the difference between free Zoom (Zoom Basic) and professional Zoom Meetings (Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, Zoom Enterprise)? Let's look at our favorite features in the paid version of Zoom Meetings.

Who we are? We are Softprom, an IT Distributor and Zoom-certified partner. Get in touch ;)

#1 The first favorite difference is, of course, the length of the meeting in Zoom Meetings.

We do not rush customers in a running meeting or tell them to click again on the Zoom link to reset the time limit... In the free Zoom version, you have 40 minutes. In the professional versions of Zoom Meetings (Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, Zoom Enterprise), you could even become the organizer of a long party and hang out for 30 hours in one meeting room.

#2 Co-organizer and alternative organizer of a Zoom Meeting.

This is an extremely important feature if you want to be sure that the meeting won't be interrupted. We all know this most inconvenient moment when the computer reboots for an update, the light turns off, the Internet connection is lost, etc. None of this will be an obstacle to the meeting if you appoint a co-organizer using a professional version of Zoom Meetings.

#3 Live broadcast on Facebook or YouTube.

Yes, maybe this is not a vital functionality for an online meeting, but if you decide to simplify your work and increase the efficiency of the current meeting, you can easily launch a live broadcast through the paid version of Zoom Meetings to your Facebook page or YouTube.

#4 Branding Zoom Meetings login page and subdomain with your company name

When you hold many online meetings and branding matters, we recommend considering the plan — Zoom Business or Zoom Enterprise (Zoom Meetings). You can brand both, the login page and the subdomain for all your meetings.

#5 Language interpretation – available for Zoom Meetings in Zoom Business and Zoom Enterprise versions

This is a very useful feature when you have a meeting with a broad audience of different language speakers. With a professional plan, you can create an unlimited number of rooms with interpreters. How does it work for participants? The participants select a language to enter the room with the interpreter, where they only hear the interpreter, who translates spoken content in real-time. This feature is only available to Zoom Business and Zoom Enterprise users in the Zoom Meetings service.

#6 Surveys in Zoom Meetings

Another useful feature that is available only in the professional version of Zoom Meetings in all tariff plans (Zoom Pro, Zoom Business, and Zoom Enterprise). It works simply: during or before the meeting, you create the required number of questionnaires and launch them from the Zoom room — simply by clicking "Start survey". It is possible to hide the name of the respondent, share the results of the survey with the audience, and access the results in reports afterward.

#7 Reports from all meetings in Zoom Meetings

In the professional version of Zoom Meetings, all tariff plans have access to meeting reports. You can download a list of people registered for the meeting if you used the pre-registration function for an online meeting. See who took part, and the dynamics of participants — how much time participants spent, when they entered and left, and if they interacted with the speaker.

#8 Zoom Webinar is a service included only in Zoom Meetings Enterprise

Zoom Webinar is a cool service, the "must have" tool for any organizers of online events, and included in Zoom Meetings Enterprise subscription. Alternatively, you can purchase Zoom Webinar with one Zoom Meetings Enterprise license too. Key features include an expanded number of participants, online session branding, UTM tags, advanced participant control, speakers-to-participants separation, and more.
