We’ve all been there—staring at a frozen screen, hoping the meeting link works this time. Or worse, sitting through another session where someone’s microphone sounds like it’s transmitting from the bottom of the ocean. Video conferencing is a necessary evil, but does it have to be this painful?
Presenting **Zoho Meeting**, a platform that has been steadily retaining its position as Microsoft Teams and Zoom compete for supremacy. But is it just another program taking up space on our toolbars, or is it the secret treasure of video conferencing? Let's dive in.
If you’ve ever winced at the price of certain big-name video conferencing tools, Zoho Meeting might be your new best friend. It offers a free plan (yes, actually free) that allows up to 100 participants for 60-minute meetings. For small teams or budget-conscious businesses, that’s a solid deal.
Some platforms require you to buy a separate product just for webinars (cough Zoom cough), but Zoho Meeting includes webinar hosting as part of its package. If you run training sessions or presentations, this all-in-one setup could save you time and money.
Already using Zoho Projects, Zoho CRM, or Zoho Mail? Zoho Meeting integrates seamlessly with these tools, making it easy to schedule, manage, and host meetings without jumping between different apps.
A clunky user interface is a productivity killer. Luckily, Zoho Meeting keeps things simple with a clean, user-friendly design and a smooth mobile app experience. If you can send a text, you can set up a meeting here.
With two-factor authentication and end-to-end encryption, your meetings stay secure. No unexpected “guest appearances” from hackers or trolls.
While Zoho Meeting’s basic pricing is reasonable, upgrading for larger webinar audiences can get pricey. It’s still more affordable than some competitors, but check the details before committing.
If you’re planning huge webinars with thousands of participants, Zoho Meeting may not be the best fit. It works well for mid-sized events but doesn’t quite match enterprise-level solutions.
Some users have reported audio issues, especially when using Bluetooth headsets. It’s not a deal-breaker, but something to consider if you rely on wireless audio.
Zoho’s pricing page isn’t always the clearest. It can take a minute to figure out whether you’re signing up for Zoho Meeting or Zoho Webinar. Not a major issue, but worth double-checking.
If you’re a business owner, entrepreneur, or office manager looking for a budget-friendly, easy-to-use meeting solution that integrates well with Zoho’s other tools, Zoho Meeting is absolutely worth considering. It’s secure, feature-rich, and doesn’t force you into an overly complicated pricing model (as long as you don’t need enterprise-level scalability).
