Is it time to stop paying for Zoom? (ZDNet)

Do you need to spend $150 per year for the Zoom Pro plan, or is the free plan good enough? We offer a decision tree to help you make the right decision.

The Free plan also records, but you record the meeting to the computer you're using. The Pro plan allows you to record meetings in the cloud on Zoom's servers. One of the biggest differences between the free service and the Pro service is the number of participants vs. So while I have had to spend a lot of time in 20-person Zoom meetings, I have never been expected to set up those meetings. You can see a bunch of them here on my YouTube channel in my Interviews playlist. I wanted to make sure I'd have access to video chats at any time, and Zoom fit the bill. Even though Zoom offers a variety of different services, from call centers to phone service to webcasts, it's Zoom Meetings that's been genericized into the word "zoom". For some interviews, we had to package up and send out inexpensive webcams because interviewees didn't have them and were intimidated by the idea of purchasing them. I did a lot of video conferencing before the pandemic hit in March of 2020 -- but at that time, it was not a mainstream activity. Zoom's well-equipped Free plan to decide if I actually needed the Pro features. That's why there was such a run on webcams in the spring of 2020. So, when I got the notice last month that Zoom was getting ready to ding my card for another $150 to extend my Zoom Pro plan for a year, I didn't just let it ride.

Free Cash Flow, Adjusted Free Cash Flow and Adjusted Free Cash Flow Margin. Zoom defines free cash flow as GAAP net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment. Zoom excludes undistributed earnings attributable to participating securities because they are considered by management to be outside of Zoom’s core operating results, and excluding them provides investors and management with greater visibility to the underlying performance of Zoom’s business operations, facilitates comparison of its results with other periods and may also facilitate comparison with the results of other companies in the industry. In particular, Zoom believes the consideration of measures that exclude such expenses can assist in the comparison of operational performance in different periods which may or may not include such expenses and assist in the comparison with the results of other companies in the industry. Forward-looking statements speak only as of the date the statements are made and are based on information available to Zoom at the time those statements are made and/or management's good faith belief as of that time with respect to future events. After adjusting for stock-based compensation expense and related payroll taxes, litigation settlements, net, and acquisition-related expenses, non-GAAP income from operations for the first quarter was $399.6 million, compared to non-GAAP income from operations of $400.9 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. Adjusted free cash flow, which is net cash provided by operating activities less purchases of property and equipment, plus litigation settlement payments, net, was $501.1 million, compared to $454.2 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022. In particular, this expense is dependent on the price of our common stock and other factors that are beyond our control and do not correlate to the operation of the business. In some cases, you can identify forward-looking statements by terms such as “anticipate,” “believe,” “estimate,” “expect,” “intend,” “may,” “might,” “plan,” “project,” “will,” “would,” “should,” “could,” “can,” “predict,” “potential,” “target,” “explore,” “continue,” or the negative of these terms, and similar expressions intended to identify forward-looking statements. - Income from Operations and Operating Margin: GAAP income from operations for the first quarter was $187.1 million, compared to GAAP income from operations of $226.3 million in the first quarter of fiscal year 2022.
