They are all good, too.Īnother option is to not allow the Zoom client to download and install at all and use the browser version (less features, but a bit more security). I have started testing Microsoft Teams, Google Meet, Zoho Cliq, Skype (owned by MSFT) and others. I will say, though, that there are very few video platforms as easy to use as Zoom. If you still feel that Zoom is not for you and have already installed the Zoom video calling platform, and want to uninstall it, the steps are below. Zoom collects only the data from individuals using the Zoom platform required to provide the service and ensure it is delivered effectively under a wide variety of settings in which our users may be operating. Zoom takes its users’ privacy extremely seriously.Zoom complies with all applicable privacy laws, rules, and regulations in the jurisdictions within which it operates, including the GDPR and the CCPA.


This is extremely useful, letting you install the program on multiple platforms to use it anywhere and at any time. The interface in Zoom is designed with the idea that you can use a combination of the program for PC, smartphone, or tablet. Plus, the broadcast possibilities are huge, for both the person broadcasting and whoever's watching. Zoom is a tool for Windows that you can use for high quality calls and video conferences.
