5.0

Chris: Hi. My name's Chris. I'm an instructional designer in a company that's about 12, 13 of us. We use Zoom all the time, and I rate it around a five. Before we started using Zoom back in the dark ages, I used Webex and Citrix I think it was, and it was just clunky and it was really hard to get the people at the other side of it to understand how it works. So the reason we use Zoom all the time is that it gives a really clear picture, but more than anything else, it's that it's easy for people to use and that's really important for us. We don't want to lose people because they can't figure out how to get on or get the picture, or ask a question to use the chat, and Zoom makes it all easy. So I think Zoom is winning the video war because it's so easy to use. It's easy for anybody to use whether they want to download the app or use it in their web browser. That's its main point as far as I'm concerned. So my recommendation is if you're going to have a go with Zoom with your team, you should get your team to all have a play with it before you get anybody outside of your business to do it. That way you can get used to the tools and the toolbox at the bottom and all the things that you can do within Zoom. Have a real strong play with it. That way when you've got your actual clients or whatever on the call, you look like pros.

Marketing assistant
5.0

Brynna H.: Hi, my name is Brynna and I am a personal coach in the health and wellness industry. And I give Chatroll a five out of five star rating. When trying to decide which software to use I didn't really look at any others, Chatroll felt like a really obvious choice. They had a free plan for the number of users that I needed so I just jumped right in and got started. The reasons that I decided to use Chatroll for my online webinars is because they had a free option for the number of users that I was using at the time and I knew that I could just level up if I needed to. I really thought that it was a very user-friendly interface, it seemed really easy to onboard, and I liked that I could customize my chat box so that it matched the colors and font on my blog, rather than having it look out of place with someone else's choices and design. The onboarding process with Chatroll, I would say is a moderate difficulty level as far as getting all set up. You have to make sure you have all of the correct access codes put in on your blog correctly. And you want to just test it out, make sure that it's running correctly, give it a couple of trial runs, make sure you've got it all exactly the way you want it. But once you do, it's an absolute breeze to use and it didn't give me any problems once I had it set up correctly. For anyone thinking of using Chatroll, I would highly recommend it. It's got a free plan, so if you're just starting out and you don't have a lot of users, that's okay it really doesn't cost you anything. You have so much that you need to be thinking about if you're starting to do online webinars on your blog or somewhere else, you've got to make sure that your feed is correct, and you've got to make sure you've got all the right things. Chatroll you don't have to worry about it at all. Once you've got it there, it works great. You can see what everybody has to say right there during your live webinar. It's easy to monitor, it's easy to use and I would highly recommend getting started to give your webinars to extra professional touch, to just make them that much more awesome.
