Zoom Meetings (commonly shortened to Zoom, and stylized as Zoom) is a proprietary video telephony software program developed by Zoom Video Communications.
The free plan allows up to 100 concurrent participants, with a 40-minute time restriction. Users have the option to upgrade by subscribing to a paid plan. The highest plan supports up to 1,000 concurrent participants for meetings lasting up to 30 hours.
During the COVID-19 pandemic, there was a major increase in the use of Zoom for remote work, distance education,and online social relations.
The increase led to Zoom being one of the most downloaded mobile app worldwide in 2020 with over 500 million downloads.
