Video Conferencing with Built-In Audio
Use the built-in voice over IP to connect your computer headset or microphone and talk through your computer. There’s also a toll-free call in telephone line where people can dial in and enter a special meeting code to let them in. The VoIP and telephone call-ins can all hear each other in the meeting so no matter what method people use to connect, it works.
Text Chat Box Built-In
Use the chat box to say hello, type secondary information while the main meeting is taking place, or to send URL links to other attendees. If someone doesn’t have a working microphone, they can still hear you and type to you. More Details
Enable Remote Computer Access for Support
Go a step further and take control of someone's computer to assist them further. This can be enabled if the attendee allows you access and shares their desktop.
Share Your Screen with The Meeting
Use Zoho Meeting to make presentation to clients, demonstrate products or services remotely, collaborate live, and more. More Details
Security
You can be sure your meetings are secure and that people won't be able to just pop in randomly. Every meeting has a "Lock Meeting" button that when activated makes it so no one else can join the meeting, even if they have the link to join that was previously sent out. The host or co-hosts will be notified if someone is trying to join a locked meeting, they can then decide to let them in or not.
Accessibility
People can join your meeting in two ways, via web browser or a mobile phone app. The full desktop web browser experience is ideal because it makes use of all available features, while the mobile phone has most features, there are some limitations. The desktop and mobile app teams are always developing and improving Zoho Meeting, so you can expect features that premier on the desktop version to be released on the mobile versions soon after.

The image above shows what Zoho Meeting looks like on a desktop web browser. In this example the host is sharing their web browser window with Tom, the viewer. Tom can't see the "Lock Meeting" or "Record" buttons on his top options bar because Tom is not a host or a co-host but just a regular attendee to the online meeting.

Join an Online Meeting using a Special Meeting-Key for Zoho Meeting:
Record, Replay, and Share your Online Meetings
Zoho Meeting makes it easy to record your online meetings and video conferencing sessions. After the recordings are finished, they are available in your system and stored in the cloud. You can share a link that lets people play the video in their browser or download the video file to their computer. You can also download the video file directly from the app for your own purposes.
Share Your Screen with The Meeting
Choose how you want to share your screen. If you have multiple monitors, you can choose which screen you want to share. If you want to restrict what other meeting participants can see, then choose to share only one application at a time, so other people can't see the surrounding desktop and screen. If you are browsing online and want to share only one specific tab from your web browser, you can choose the exact tab to share without sharing the rest of your screen.
Add Meetings to Your Calendar
Each meeting comes with a .ics file for both you and your clients. This lets you easily add the meeting date and time to any calendar system using this standardized file format.
Built-In Chat Box
Every meeting comes with a built-in chat box so you and your participants can communicate via text. This is also a good way to send URL links to one another or to troubleshoot if someone is having problems with their microphone setup. If there is a speaker engaging the rest of the group, participants can comment in the chat box without interrupting the speaker. After the meeting is over there is an option to download the chat transcript for your records.
Prevent Double Booking of Online Meetings
In Zoho Meetings there is a warning dialogue that will appear if you try to create a meeting with overlapping time periods. This helps you to prevent double booking by accident.
Zoho CRM and Zoho Meeting Integration for Online Meetings and Video Conferencing
The Zoho CRM and Zoho Meetings integration works by allowing you to quickly meet with a CRM lead or Contact from the CRM using built-in buttons and reminder notifications. Once the integration is completed, go to a lead or contact’s page and click the “...” icon at the top right to find the new Zoho Meeting buttons labeled “Meet Now!” and “Schedule Online Meeting”. By using either of these two buttons, a meeting record will be attached to the page’s “Open Activities” and “Invited Meetings” related lists.
Using the “+ Meeting” button on the CRM " Open Activities” related list or inviting a lead directly from Zoho Meeting will not add a line record to Zoho CRM’s “Invited Meetings” related list.
- Using the “+ Meeting” button from the “Open Activities” related list will only add a record to the CRM “Open / Closed Activities” related lists (the line "New Meeting 1" in the image above).
- Creating a meeting from within Zoho Meeting will not add a record to either related list in Zoho CRM.
If you spend most of your time in Zoho CRM, a reminder notification will pop up in your bottom right corner reminding you that a meeting is happening. The pop-up reminder gives you a button to quickly join the meeting at that time, popping open a new browser tab with Zoho Meeting.
Zoho Bookings and Zoho Meeting Integration for Online Meetings and Video Conferencing
In Zoho Bookings you can create a service that is set as an online meeting. Anyone who books your new service will be sent an email notification about the date and time, and how to join the online meeting. Any bookings from Zoho Bookings will show up as open activities if you have Zoho CRM also integrated with Zoho Bookings. Having Zoho Bookings integrated with Zoho Meeting is a great way to automate the meeting process. This eliminates an extra step and avoids delays to the meeting process. Having an online calendar with available time slots for clients to choose from is a powerful time-saving tool.
After you enable the online meeting service in Zoho Bookings, make sure to edit your Zoho Booking Workspace's notifications to include the %meetinginfo% variable.
