SAN FRANCISCO--(BUSINESS WIRE)--zoom.us, a new group HD video calling service, today introduced an entirely simple, free way to connect with friends, family and colleagues with a single click. zoom.us offers the ability to reach out and share high quality experiences across desktops and mobile devices at a broad array of connection speeds. Starting today, users can access the free service at http://zoom.us from a mobile device or desktop, or by downloading the iPhone and iPad apps from the App Store.
zoom.us brings a new approach to group video meetings by both simplifying the experience and raising the quality level. By integrating with both Google and Facebook, consumers can get up and running in seconds, eliminating the hassle of remembering yet another login. zoom.us allows up to 15 people to join a conversation for free and, through advanced video technology, enables a superior video and screen sharing experience. zoom.us is by far the most expansive service available and is poised to introduce the power of video conversations to everyone.
“Today, group video meetings are the realm of businesses, but they can be hard to facilitate. Users have separate accounts for each video calling application, which require them to remember different usernames and passwords, and the video quality is often poor,” said Eric Yuan, CEO and Founder of zoom.us. “zoom.us takes the complexity out of connecting to friends and colleagues by offering a single-click solution that works whether you are on an iPad using Wi-Fi, an iPhone using Edge or a PC connected to Ethernet and lets everyone participate in the conversation seamlessly. We have seen in enterprise business how video transforms communication and collaboration – we want to bring that to everyone with zoom.us.”
With advanced HD video and screen sharing technology, zoom.us gives users the highest experience for group meetings so that they can focus on conversations rather than complex technology.
