VIDEOCONFERENCING TOOLS The market for videoconferencing tools has become very diverse, with established providers of pure videoconferencing solutions for meetings and online seminars now being joined by those who offer additional online platforms which allow users to freely assign themselves to groups or rooms. Some of these online platforms can also be customised. Other tools now focus on formats such as online conferences and offer back- stage rooms, lounges, a podium, and other functions needed for those kinds of events.

Only the host of a meeting, not all participants, needs to register. The free version offers group chats with up to 100 participants and a time window of 40 minutes. Zoom can be used with Windows, macOS, Android and iOS operating systems. The service was criticised for having transferred data from its iOS app to Facebook; they put an end to that in late March 2020. However, users who want to be on the safe side in regard to privacy can conclude what is known as a data processing agreement with Zoom. Alternatively, they can ask a service provider to host a GDPR-compliant Zoom session on their behalf. The breakout session function where participants can be divided into any number of smaller parallel groups (randomly or manually) and the gallery view which allows the large number of participants to be seen as a plenary or large group make video conferences very participatory.
