Online meeting and conferencing tools brought in a wave of revolution and changed the entire scenario. The world got used to these platforms when it was the need of the hour. However, there is no looking back since then. Virtual conferences and meeting platforms have become our comfort zone, and it is going to stay like this for times to come. 

Out of several online meeting platforms, one name that enjoyed maximum popularity was Zoom. There is not any professional left who did not experience this platform at least once in the last two years. Zoom is one of the most powerful and popular platforms that allows the organizers to plan and host immersive online meetings. But, apart from Zoom, there are several platforms that are more efficient than Zoom, and allow the organizers to plan and host their meetings hassle-free. 

Here, in this blog, we will discuss a few platforms that are the top picks of several corporations to host online meetings. 

• Mixhubb:

In addition, Skype allows the organizers to share their screens and share their live location with their fellow attendees. 

There is no doubt that Zoom is one of the most extensive and efficient online meeting and conferencing platforms. But, as they say, every platform has its limitations, and so does Zoom. It has been more than two years since we have been using Zoom for so many reasons. But, we believe that the time has come that we start looking to other platforms also. 

The intent of this blog was the same, and we hope it helped you know about several platforms that are as efficient, if not more, than Zoom.
