This has made online video communication extremely popular and Zoom is the primary choice to connect.

Zoom is a cloud-based application that allows users to communicate with virtual video and audio. It is known for teleconferencing, telecommunicating, webinars or distance education, and live chats. Though many other applications also offer a similar product, such as Google Hangout and Facebook Messenger, its extra features have made plenty of users cave into using the application. First, it is free to use (with a time limit for free users). Second, subscribers can add up to 1000 participants. Third, its additional features have captured much attention as it allows polls, whiteboards, screen sharing, encrypted calls, and integrations to Workspace, Salesforce, and Google Service. Moreover, users can use this on either their laptop or mobile phone, as long as it is in Windows, Mac, Android, or iOS.

Since Zoom calls are so heavily used these days, it's important to also know how to share a PDF via the said application and you can easily do this during a call. Here’s how:

Step one: Create a zoom meeting or join one. If you’re joining as a participant, make sure to let your meeting host enable sharing for you.

Step two: Open your PDF document on your desktop. Then, on the Zoom application, click “share” at the bottom of the screen.
