What is Zoho Meeting?
Zoho Meeting is a secure video conferencing and webinar platform built by Zoho Corporation (Chennai, India).

Zoho Meeting works entirely in the browser (no app download required for attendees), supports scheduling via calendar integration, and offers end-to-end encryption. It is an alternative to Zoom, Google Meet, and Microsoft Teams — with competitive pricing, India data centres, and seamless integration with the Zoho ecosystem (Zoho CRM, Zoho Calendar, Zoho Cliq). PrecisionTech is an Authorized Zoho Partner implementing Zoho Meeting for businesses across India.

Does Zoho Meeting support screen sharing?
Yes. Zoho Meeting supports full screen sharing for both meetings and webinars. Hosts and presenters can share their entire screen, a specific application window, or a browser tab. Attendees see the shared content in real time. Screen sharing works on Windows, macOS, and Linux — and attendees can view from any browser or the Zoho Meeting app. Screen sharing is available on Free, Meeting, and Webinar plans. PrecisionTech configures screen sharing permissions and trains teams on best practices for presentations and demos.
7
Does Zoho Meeting support recording?
Yes. Zoho Meeting supports meeting and webinar recording. On the Meeting plan, hosts can record video meetings (video, audio, and screen share) and save recordings to Zoho Meeting cloud storage or download locally. On the Webinar plan, hosts can record webinars and share links with registrants or publish on-demand. Recordings include participant video, audio, shared screen, and chat. Recordings are stored securely; retention depends on plan. PrecisionTech advises on recording workflows, storage, and compliance (e.g., consent notifications).
8
How many participants can join a Zoho Meeting?
Zoho Meeting participant limits vary by plan: (1) Free — up to 3 participants per meeting. (2) Meeting — up to 100 participants per meeting. (3) Webinar — up to 1,000 attendees per webinar. For most business meetings (team standups, client calls, internal reviews), the Meeting plan (100 participants) is sufficient. For large events (product launches, training, customer webinars), the Webinar plan supports up to 1,000 attendees. PrecisionTech helps size the right plan based on your meeting and webinar needs.
9
Can attendees join Zoho Meeting without downloading an app?
Yes. Zoho Meeting supports browser-based joining — attendees can join from Chrome, Firefox, Safari, or Edge without installing the Zoho Meeting app. The host sends a meeting link; attendees click and join directly in the browser. For the best experience, the Zoho Meeting desktop or mobile app is recommended for hosts and frequent participants — but it is not required for attendees. This reduces friction for external participants (clients, prospects) who may not want to install software.
10
How does Zoho Meeting integrate with Zoho CRM?
Zoho Meeting integrates natively with Zoho CRM. Key features: (1) Schedule Meetings — create meeting links from CRM records (Leads, Contacts, Deals) and add them to activities. (2) Join from CRM — sales reps join meetings directly from the CRM record. (3) Meeting Notes — post-meeting notes and outcomes sync to CRM. (4) Meeting History — view past meetings linked to contacts and deals. (5) Webinar Registration — webinar registration pages can capture leads into Zoho CRM. (6) Follow-up — meeting completion triggers workflows for follow-up tasks. PrecisionTech configures the Meeting–CRM integration and trains sales teams on the workflow.

How does Zoho Meeting integrate with Zoho Calendar?
Zoho Meeting integrates with Zoho Calendar for seamless scheduling. When you create a meeting in Zoho Meeting, it can add the event to Zoho Calendar with the meeting link, dial-in details, and join instructions. Recipients receive calendar invites with one-click join links. The integration also works with Google Calendar and Outlook via Zoho Calendar sync. PrecisionTech sets up calendar integration so teams can schedule meetings from their preferred calendar app.
12

13
Does Zoho Meeting support polls and Q&A?

Poll responses can be exported. (2) Q&A — attendees submit questions; hosts can answer live, type responses, or mark as answered. Q&A is especially useful for webinars with large audiences. (3) Hand-raising — attendees can raise hands to indicate they want to speak. These features increase engagement in training sessions and customer webinars. PrecisionTech trains hosts on using polls and Q&A effectively.
14
What is the difference between Zoho Meeting and Zoho Meeting Webinar?
Zoho Meeting (Meeting plan) is for interactive video meetings — up to 100 participants, with two-way video, screen sharing, chat, and collaboration. Zoho Meeting Webinar (Webinar plan) is for one-to-many events — up to 1,000 attendees, with host/presenter controls, registration pages, polls, Q&A, hand-raising, and analytics. Meetings are collaborative; webinars are broadcast-style. Some businesses need both — meetings for internal and client calls, webinars for product launches and training. PrecisionTech helps choose and configure the right product.
15
Does Zoho Meeting work on mobile?
Yes. Zoho Meeting has native iOS and Android apps. Mobile users can join meetings via the app or browser. Hosts can start and manage meetings from mobile — share screen, mute participants, and record. The mobile experience is optimised for on-the-go participation. PrecisionTech ensures mobile access is configured and provides quick-start guides for mobile users.
16
How does Zoho Meeting handle breakout rooms?
Zoho Meeting supports breakout rooms — hosts can split participants into smaller groups for discussions, then bring everyone back to the main room. Breakout rooms are useful for workshops, training, and team-building. Hosts assign participants to rooms manually or automatically, set a timer, and broadcast messages to all rooms. PrecisionTech configures breakout room workflows for training and facilitation.
17
What is Zoho Meeting's video quality?
Zoho Meeting supports HD video (up to 1080p) depending on bandwidth and plan. Video quality adapts automatically to network conditions. Hosts can prioritise video or screen sharing quality in settings. For webinars, the host/presenter video is streamed to all attendees. PrecisionTech advises on network requirements and optimal settings for different use cases.
18
Can I use Zoho Meeting for customer demos?
Yes. Zoho Meeting is well-suited for customer demos — screen sharing for product walkthroughs, HD video for face-to-face connection, recording for prospects who miss the call, and CRM integration to log the meeting and schedule follow-up. Sales teams use Zoho Meeting for discovery calls, product demos, and proposal discussions. PrecisionTech configures the Meeting–CRM integration and trains sales teams on demo best practices.
