How it helps you
Zoom is the reliable default for sales calls, investor meetings, and remote standups — most people you meet already have it installed. The free plan handles quick calls, and paid Pro removes the 40-minute cap and adds cloud recording and AI meeting summaries. It's low-friction for guests, who can join from a browser without an account.

The free plan's 40-minute cap on group calls interrupts real meetings, effectively pushing serious use to a paid seat. Larger webinars, extra cloud storage, and phone features are separate paid add-ons.
Bottom line
Pick it when you need dependable, guest-friendly video meetings that everyone already knows how to join.
