The Zoom video conferencing platform allows educators to hold online synchronous classes, host meetings and office hours, brainstorm with virtual whiteboards, record for asynchronous lessons, conduct polls, manage breakout rooms for group collaboration, and prevent participants from joining a meeting until the host is ready with the waiting room feature.

Key Zoom Features:
Waiting Rooms are virtual staging areas that prevent participants from joining a meeting until the host is ready. Meeting hosts can customize the Waiting Room settings to gain further control over which participants join a specific meeting and when.
Waiting rooms provide visibility into who’s trying to join your session.
As a meeting host, you can customize the title, logo, and message that appear in the Waiting Room, which lets waiting participants know they are in the right place.
You can send a personalized message to those in the Waiting Room, either to individual users on desktop and mobile or to all Waiting Room attendees.

Breakout Rooms allow you to split your Zoom meeting in up to separate, smaller sessions. The meeting host can choose to split the participants of the meeting into these separate sessions automatically or manually, and can switch between sessions at any time.

Whiteboard - Using annotation tools on a shared screen or whiteboard
Meeting participants can annotate on a shared screen as a viewer or the one that started sharing your screen. You can also use annotation tools when sharing or viewing a whiteboard. The whiteboard feature will allow you to share a whiteboard that you and other participants can annotate on.
Polls - The Polling feature for meetings allows the host to create single choice or multiple choice polling questions for meetings. You will be able to launch the poll during the meeting and gather the responses from your attendees.
You also have the ability to download a report of polling after the meeting.
Polls can also be conducted anonymously, if you do not wish to collect participant information with the poll results.
Record a Meeting
The host can record the Zoom meeting locally to their computer or to the Zoom cloud if you are a licensed user. Files stored on the cloud can be accessed on your desktop or from the web. Locally recorded meetings and webinars can only be accessed on the computer that recorded the meeting.
