What is Zoom?

Zoom is an internet-based face-to-face video meeting tool that allows participants to join from the comfort and safety of their home or office, using a desktop or laptop computer, smartphone, or tablet device (here is a demonstration).

Zoom is a safe tool that does not require any personal information to be provided. Meeting participants are sent a meeting ID and password (it will be different for every meeting), and are only allowed to join the meeting by the host.
