Zoho Meeting Vs Zoom

Learn why Zoho Meeting is the best alternative to Zoom

Zoho Vs Zoom Meetings

No downloads are required

Unnecessary downloads occupy drive space and make desktops vulnerable to security threats. Zoho Meeting is an online meeting solution that works well on all modern browsers. It's a great alternative for video conferencing because it works without downloads and places importance to protecting your privacy.

Choose from our affordable subscriptions

Zoho Meeting is reasonably priced, which makes it an affordable Zoom alternative for startups and small businesses. Anyone can evaluate Zoho Meeting before they subscribe by using a 14-day trial edition. Zoho Meeting users can conduct meetings for up to 60 minutes in the free edition, unlike Zoom, which exerts a 40-minute cut-off limit.

Security comes first

Zoho Meeting safely encrypts all of your Personal Identification Information (PII). This means that Zoho Meeting cannot read or interpret any information shared during an online meeting. All transmissions take place through SSL/128-bit AES encryption protocol, which is the industry standard security practice. Learn more about security and privacy in Zoho Meeting.

You decide when to give consent

Zoho Meeting always requests your consent before performing important actions, such as turning your web camera on or allowing another participant to take control of your computer during online meetings. It does not give unnecessary privileges to meeting hosts and administrators to monitor attendees' screens, which would be a violation of privacy.

Lock your meetings

Ensure that your online meetings are secure by locking your sessions and keeping them safe from unexpected intruders like hackers. No participant can enter a locked meeting without the permission of the meeting host, even if they have the joining link. By locking meetings and keeping hackers at bay, Zoho Meeting serves as the right Zoom alternative.

No third-party apps are needed

Zoho Meeting is an online meeting software built entirely by Zoho from scratch. It does not depend on any third-party apps for any of its functionalities. Zoho Meeting also will never share users' data with third parties for commercial purposes, making it a secure alternative to Zoom. We take user trust and safety seriously.

It includes all of the features you need

Zoho Meeting gives you all of the necessary features to conduct an online meeting. This includes audio, video, recording, screen sharing, remote access, phone audio, chat, and moderator controls. Successful online meetings are guaranteed if you choose Zoho Meeting's unified communication platform as your alternative to Zoom.

Moderator controls keep meetings on track

Meeting hosts can use moderator controls to mute, rename, remove participants and moderate discussions. Mute individual participants or all of the participants during a meeting, and request to unmute if necessary. Remove participants from your meeting when they are no longer required for your discussion or if they become disruptive.

There's ample storage for recordings

Record important meetings and access the recordings in your cloud storage without worrying about exhausting file storage space. Zoho Meeting provides up to 5 GB storage space per host to store recording files and meeting resources, with additional 25 GB as an add-on.

Send automated email invites

Schedule meetings and add participants by sending automated email invitations and reminders. Meeting emails contain the topic, date, time, meeting link, calendar link, and phone audio details required for participants to attend meetings. You can also use the RSVP feature to track which participants will attend a meeting. This is another unique feature that makes Zoho Meeting a good Zoom alternative.

Join from any device
