So, as we all know that every human being on this earth is transiting from such a hard and crucial time of the Coronavirus and almost every workplace has been shut down temporarily for some time including schools and colleges too. Which is affecting students life a lot. According to me, Students are the ones who are suffering the most in this time as they are not able to gain knowledge or learn something new.

And seeing the spread of COVID 19 lockdowns will remain for a while in future so now everyone has to do something to get into learning again and for that teachers also have to make some efforts and start teaching their students via an online platform and for that they need a proper platform/application to teach with. So the best applications in today's time for teaching or any other task like meetings, etc is Zoom.
This app contains almost everything that you need to teach your students your need in any meeting. Although, there are tons of apps available on the app store that you can use for the same purpose but this app outshines others in many scenarios let's talk about some-
  • A host can always just share the link of joining and the person with that link can join immediately without any hustle. Sometimes in another app, it becomes a little bit irritating and troublesome for just joining the meeting.
  • The second advantage is that you can easily schedule the meeting. Let's take a certain scenario that a teacher wants to take a class at 5 in the evening and to not forget it he can just schedule the class in the morning and share the link with his students that too in the morning itself and when it will be close to hit 5 in the evening he will be notified and he can just start the meeting and student will connect at the same time.
  • In Zoom person has a fixed meeting id also the host can share that once and there is no need to share it every time you start the meeting. He only has to notify his students about the time.
  • In Zoom if the student is in an ongoing class and he didn't understand something written on the board he can just double-tap the screen to stop the class and understand it clearly and double-tap again to start it again.
  • In this, the viewers can send messages to everyone or can chat personally also.
  •  The host has a full authority of everything he is the one who grants permission of each and everything to the viewers.

These are some of the pros of the Zoom app and there are many more. Now each application has it's backside too. Some of the cons of the Zoom app are-
  • while we are in a meeting and if the one who is sharing the screen doesn't have a good data connection. The screen becomes a blur and the voice becomes a bit laggy and viewers feel it difficult to understand.
  • The free version of the Zoom only allows you to stream till 40 minutes only after that meeting ends automatically but you can rejoin again by clicking the same meeting id/link but that ruins your streamline experience.
  • It's a bit of time taking process to use or see everything the app offers you so you have to give time to it and discover new features while using it.
Overall it's a fairly good app to use and start learning/teaching in these quarantine days so that rather than wasting time we can utilize it in a good and productive manner.
