is an online conferencing tool. This solution enables up to 300 users to connect per high-definition meeting. This license does not have a time limit on meetings.

The application (computer or mobile device) allows users to join pre-scheduled meetings from calendar events, choose a link, enter meeting code and even dial in from their phones if the invitation includes a phone number. Zoom with an online plug-in can integrate with G Suite versions of Google Calendar and Gmail.
