Zoom was founded in 2011 in San Jose, California and the service launched globally in January 2013. Now with more than 5,000 employees worldwide, Zoom has become a household name across the world.

Zoom provides a video-first Unified Communications platform for hybrid learning environments, administrative uses and community engagement with a single cloud-based platform for video and audio conferencing, chat, content sharing, webinars, and cloud phone.

Jane Ross, EMEA Education Lead with Zoom, says:

“Education is a number one priority for us globally and partnering with an organisation like Learnovate helps us to identify and address the needs of our community. From the short time that we’ve been a Patron Member, Learnovate has been incredibly proactive and engaging. Within the first couple of weeks, we were introduced to people and projects that aligned with our business priorities.”
