Zoom is the most popular application these days to connect to school, work or family and friends meetings thanks to its integrated security, design, accessibility and global performance functions. Zoom allows us to have up to 40 minutes in its free version or if we need more time we must purchase a paid plan..
We must bear in mind that it is important that both the camera and the microphone are active. This is due to the fact that a large percentage of meetings must be in such a way that we see each other or interact in the talk, which is why these two components are key.
