Zoomkokous

Zoomkokous, commonly referred to in Finnish as Zoom-kokous, refers to Zoom's core video-conferencing service. The service enables real-time video and audio meetings, chat, and collaborative features such as screen sharing. Participants can join from desktop, laptop, tablet, or mobile devices via a meeting link, a meeting ID, or a calendar invitation.

Key features include host and co-host controls, the waiting room and optional meeting passwords, recording with optional transcripts, screen sharing, a whiteboard, breakout rooms for small groups, polls, reactions, and live captions. The platform also offers virtual backgrounds, transcription, and integrations with calendar services like Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook, along with dedicated mobile apps.

Zoomkokous is used across business, education, and personal contexts for virtual meetings, lectures, and webinars. The Basic (free) plan supports one-on-one meetings without a time limit and group meetings with a 40-minute cap; paid plans increase participant limits, recording options, and administrative controls. Zoom Rooms provides hardware-based conference-room integration, while Zoom Webinars covers large audience events.

Security and privacy features include meeting passwords, waiting rooms, and the option to require authentication for participants. End-to-end encryption is available for selected accounts as an opt-in, with limitations on certain features. Zoom has periodically updated its security practices in response to concerns and regulatory requirements.
