Zoom has definitely helped us to cope up with The New Normal!
During this Covid-19 pandemic year, Zoom has gained a lot of recognition. Many users, including students, workers, and professionals, have been using it creatively to hold various activities online due to the strict restrictions on physical meetings. It is said that the number of Zoom users will continue to increase further!
With its video conferencing service, what’s supposed to be offline activities - such as academic lessons, exams, seminars, business meetings, religious fellowships, workout sessions, workshops, etc - are still possible to be conducted even during the Circuit Breaker (lockdowns) period in Singapore and all around the world. It has made studying and working from home easier.
