Meetings support screen sharing, breakout rooms, recording to cloud or local disk, live transcription and large attendee counts on higher plans, and clients exist for every desktop and mobile platform plus browsers and room systems. Developers use REST APIs, webhooks, Meeting and Video SDKs and the Zoom App marketplace to schedule, embed or extend meetings. Universities and companies adopted it widely for remote teaching and interviews. A free plan limits group meeting duration; paid Pro, Business and Enterprise plans add longer meetings, cloud recording storage and admin controls. It is cloud-only, and recordings and transcripts raise retention and privacy considerations that administrators must configure.",22  "capabilities": [23    "HD video meetings with breakout rooms and screen sharing",24    "Webinars and large events",25    "Cloud and local recording with transcription",26    "Team chat, phone and whiteboards in Zoom Workplace",27    "AI Companion summaries and drafting",28    "REST API, webhooks and Meeting/Video SDKs"29  ],30  "workflows": [31    "Record a lecture to the cloud and share the transcript with students",32    "Automate meeting creation from a scheduling system through the API"33  ],34  "advantages": [35    "Reliable large-meeting performance and broad client support",36    "Mature API and SDKs"37  ],38  "limitations": [39    "Free plan limits meeting duration",40    "Cloud-only service",41    "Recording retention and privacy settings require administration"42  ],43  "prerequisites": [44    "Zoom account; client app or browser"45  ],46  "audiences": [47    "Educators and students",48    "Distributed teams",49    "Event organisers"50  ],51  "alternatives": [52    "microsoft-teams",53    "google-workspace",54    "slack",55    "discord"56  ],57  "comparison_notes": "Microsoft Teams and Google Meet (Google Workspace) are bundled with office suites and chosen where those are licensed; Zoom is standalone and often preferred for external participants and webinars.
