The Zoho suite of small business software comprises over 25 apps, from CRM to email marketing; from Recruitment to Accounting.
Another little known but great online business app is Zoho Meeting, which is Zoho's cloud based online meeting software.
We're all well used to or at least getting used to using Skype to communicate for day-to-day business matters, but Skype is primarily a 1-1 video tool and in our experience tends to struggle on group video calling; plus it is not designed for example to host online webinars that require registration and also presentation control.
Zoho Meeting Functions
Zoho Meeting has actually been around for some time and is free for basic functionality on a 1-1 basis.
Zoho Meeting is designed for group conferencing purposes, where the following functions are needed:
- Ability to call multiple people in any location, for example the Pro license allows up to 10 participants
- Change Presenter - switch from one presenter to another for more dynamic presentations/meetings
