Zoom has become one of the top go-to apps for virtual meetings and has turned into the default video conferencing platform for over 300 million people worldwide on a daily basis. You can host business meetings, discussion panels, or even schedule virtual classes on Zoom especially after the Zoom 5.0 update which addresses all of its former security flaws.

Zoom enables you to add up to 100 participants online in a single room for a Basic user and includes licensed Pro features for commercial usage. Here’s how you can set up a meeting, record, and share screen in Zoom on Windows 10 along with using screen mirroring on iPhone and iPad.
