Zoom Events That Brings Together Zoom Meetings, Zoom Webinars And Team Chat Launched In India

Video conferencing app Zoom has unveiled Zoom Events, its first virtual event experience product in India.

The company originally unveiled Zoom Events in 2021.

Video conferencing app Zoom is expanding its product base in India and has launched Zoom Events, its first virtual event experience product in the country. Zoom Events brings together all the features of Zoom Meetings, Zoom Webinars and Team chat into one tool for event organisers conducting live events for audiences of all sizes.

The company unveiled Zoom Events in 2021, its all-in-one virtual event management solution, and has now made Zoom Events available in India.

"We hear it all the time: virtual events are here to stay. In fact, they’re in high demand, as they provide sustainable, far-reaching, cost-effective alternatives to in-person events. With this in mind, we wanted to help our customers elevate their event strategies with an innovative platform built solely for virtual and hybrid experiences, " the company said in a statement.

With Zoom Events, the video conferencing platform aims to simplify the "headaches" that come with manually tracking attendee registrations, designing multiple event websites, and feeling overwhelmed by the needs of multiple speakers.

The video conferencing platform also said that since launching in 2021, more than 7,000 customers had used Zoom Events, and the platform has averaged more than 150 events daily.

Zoom Events enables businesses across industries to seamlessly host virtual and hybrid experiences, including company events like all-hands and sales summits and external events like user conferences.

Meanwhile, last month, the central government proposed to bring Meta-owned WhatsApp, Zoom, and Google Duo under the ambit of telecom licence, as written in the draft of the Indian Telecommunication Bill 2022. The government has, however, proposed to give exemption to press messages that are intended to be published in India of correspondents accredited to the Central or state governments from being intercepted.

"For provision of Telecommunication Services and Telecommunication Networks, an entity shall have to obtain a license," according to the draft.
