After you've signed up, chatting with friends and family is just a couple clicks away. Zoom works across multiple platforms and signing up is a breeze. The app's in-meeting chat supports group messaging and private DMs, 25MB of cloud storage for recordings, as well as access to three Zoom Whiteboards. The tier supports up to 100 participants and offers unlimited 40-minute long meetings. You don't even have to enter your credit card. The app offers three other paid tiers - Pro, Business and Enterprise - but for the average person's casual use, Basic has a lot to offer. This means if you're just looking to catch up with friends, you're still going to get good service from Zoom.Īfter signing up, you'll be operating with Zoom Basic for free. Despite having multiple paid plans for professionals and businesses, the service doesn't cut off free tier users from useful core features.

Zoom is easy to sign up for and video chat, whether you're just catching up with friends or collaborating at work.
