What do you like best about being a Zoom Community Champion?

Because I get first-hand information and know from the community where the most problems are or what is best received by the users. But the best thing is the collaboration with other community champions 🏆

This month, we spotlight one of our Zoom Community Customer Champions, @ExpertswhoJohn. John joined the community in December 2021 and has been a Community Champion since 2023🥇

What do you like best about being a Zoom Community Champion?

You don't know what you know, till somebody asks you. I find the community questions a great challenge to how comprehensive I think my knowledge is. If you give Zoom support in your job, or company, being part of the Community gives you a chance to show your skill, but I think we all have to admit we still learn more than we put in.

How would you describe the Zoom Community in a few words?

Knowledge. Both the answers and the questions empower my knowledge of Zoom 👨‍💻

What is your favorite Zoom product and why?

Zoom Events because it takes Zoom to the max 🚀

What's a fun fact you'd like to share?

I joined a church choir at the age of nine, on suggestion from my Mum.  Only last month I found out that she did this to give me confidence. And it did. I never have stage fright or nerves, however big the audience, live or face-to-face. But I can get excitement 😁

How would you describe the Zoom community in a few words?

Home 🏠

What is your favorite Zoom product and why?

I like all of Zoom's products because they are designed and serviced from the user's perspective. We like the stable and comfortable meetings even with small network bandwidth, the unlimited digital signage with a single Room license, the free Whiteboard with its advanced features, and the easy-to-implement workspace reservation. Docs is not yet available in-house, but I will love it 💙

What's a fun fact you'd like to share?

I enjoy being able to connect with people from all over the world on the common topic of Zoom. It makes me happy when my replies are accepted as solutions and I receive words of appreciation ✅👏

This month, we are spotlighting one of our Zoom Employee Community Champions, @sachinzoom. Sachin joined the community in August 2021 and has been a Community Champion since 2023 🏆

What do you like most about being a Zoom Community Champion? 

My job involves working with customers (most of the time every week) to consult and deliver Zoom products like Zoom Phone, Zoom Revenue Accelerator, customer-managed keys, AI Companion, and more. Being part of the community, gives me exposure to many more customers/Zoom users and how they are using Zoom products in their customized environments. This is the primary reason, I recommend all Zoom users to join the community and learn or help others with their skills. Being recognized as a Community champion is humbling and addressing a customer's need brings me personal satisfaction and gratification 🔥

Why would you recommend joining the champion program?

I think anyone who wants to not only help others but also to expand their knowledge of the Zoom platform should join the champion program so that they can challenge themselves while making a lot of people happy by answering their questions 🤓

In one word, how would you describe the Zoom Community? 

Treasure ✨

What is your favorite Zoom product and why? 

Zoom Revenue Accelerator (ZRA). I traditionally came from voice and video background (UC and UCaaS) but have been hooked to AI innovations at Zoom. Our Premium Conversational product that customers love is ZRA. It helps increase productivity not only for Sales teams but for anyone who desires to improve their communications and be more productive. Happy to help/collaborate with anyone on ZRA, Zoom phone, Zoom Docs, Whiteboard, Clips, CMK, AI/ML topics 💙

What is a fun fact you would like to share?

What brings me a lot of satisfaction is the creativity/solutions aspect of my job ( Solution Architecture ). And it feels great when it culminates into patents that have been filed by Zoom. I have 5 filed patents and cannot wait to see them implemented. I have received great feedback from Senior management and other Zoomies when I presented it to them. Happy to discuss with Zoomies on their patents or to collaborate on new ones. To wind up and relax, my other passions are singing and cooking 🍽

Dean joined the community in August 2021 and has been a Community Champion since 2021 as well 🏆💙

What do you like most about being a Zoom Community Champion?  What I like most is that I am always finding questions about products I think I know, but they are trying to do something a little different than I used to.  Then I get to try to put myself in their shoes to figure out how they can make things work using tools and settings they might not have known about 💡

Why would you recommend joining the champion program?

I think anyone who wants to not only help others but also to expand their knowledge of the Zoom platform should join the champion program so that they can challenge themselves while making a lot of people happy by answering their questions 🤓

In one word, how would you describe the Zoom Community? 

Knowledgable 🔎

What is your favorite Zoom product and why? 

I will cheat and say Marketplace, which is listed as a Product in the Community but is really the 1-stop shop for all integrations and customizations for Zoom.   I like it because it offers customers ways to creatively use all of the Zoom products, and can provide opportunities for users to really find some outside-the-box ways to make Zoom even more powerful than it is with just the standalone client 💙

What is a fun fact you would like to share?

I have filed 11 Zoom patents (through Zoom legal), with 1 already in force, 9 pending and 1 still with Zoom legal getting ready for filing 🚀

Denise joined the community in August 2021 and has been a Community Champion since August 2022 🏆💙

What do you like most about being a Zoom Community Champion?

Firstly, it is such an honor to have been recognized by Zoom as a Community Champion for the third year in a row and to be part of such an incredibly knowledgeable and talented group of people! What do I like most about being a Zoom Community Champion? Well, I find it extremely satisfying to be able to help others get the best possible experience out of Zoom, which some don't even realize is an incredibly large product! It is not just Zoom Meetings! Zoom has so many other products, which I think is why it was recently rebranded as Zoom Workplace. My expertise is specifically in running professional meetings, webinars, or events using regular Zoom Meetings & Webinars or using Zoom Sessions & Zoom Events which are specifically developed for this purpose.

Why would you recommend joining the champion program?

If you are passionate about Zoom, an expert in one or more of their products and enjoy helping others, joining the champion program makes you part of a very supportive and knowledgeable community. Being a Zoom Champ also offers opportunities such as being able to submit feature requests in a special closed forum, having admin permissions in the Zoom Community, and the regular monthly Community Champion meetups.  And of course you get the community champion badges and certificates! 

In one word, how would you describe the Zoom Community?

Engaging.

What is your favorite Zoom product and why?

Obviously, Zoom Sessions & Zoom Events! What is Zoom Sessions/Events you ask? Well, think of Zoom Events as a "wrapper" around the regular Zoom Meetings & Webinars you are familiar with, but with added features such as registration, branding, backstage, VOD, Expo, sponsors, networking hybrid event companion app, and much much more! It's really a fantastic virtual & hybrid event solution and I think it is the best platform in the industry today. Three years ago when Zoom Events launched I started the Facebook group for Zoom Events Pros https://www.facebook.com/groups/zoomeventpros which I am proud to say has over 850 members today. I am now in the final stages of launching https://zoompros.guru, which is a marketplace where Zoom Pros can offer their services to the Zoom customers. Whether you are running a company all-hands, investor relations calls, webinars, or a multi-session/multi-day conference, virtual or hybrid, getting the right production team is crucial. There are many professional Zoom producers like myself worldwide whose expertise is virtual & hybrid event productions.  The problem is it's hard for Zoom customers to find them. ZoomPros.guru will be an easy way for Zoom customers to connect with the right producers and professionals for their events. In addition, I recently kicked off the Zoom Events Test Lab which is running ongoing sessions for Zoom Pros or people who would like to become Zoom Pros.

What is a fun fact you would like to share?

Zoom CEO Eric Yuan regularly likes and reposts my LinkedIn posts, which is super exciting! It usually boosts my reach significantly to thousands of views, with one of the posts reaching 34 reposts and 37K views!

What do you like most about being a Zoom Community Champion? Why would you recommend joining the champion program? 

What I like most about being a Zoom Community Champion is that I can share with a lot of people everything I have learned over more than four years, and also that I learn a lot by reading questions about things I have not yet interacted with. I would recommend joining because learning is based on "experiences" and that way I consider that you learn faster.

In one word, how would you describe the Zoom Community? 

In one word: "INTEGRITY"

What is your favorite Zoom product and why? 

The product I like the most is Zoom Events, since it was launched I have used it for all kinds of events in my company and I have seen how it has evolved since then, the Expo Zone is incredible. I can manage any event through this Events platform.

What is a fun fact you would like to share? 

A fun fact is that I am not an enthusiastic TikTok user, I don't like that social network very much, but during the Pandemic I made many short videos sharing good Zoom practices so that users around the world would stop thinking that Zoom could be hacked and that it was only bad practices in the security settings of the meetings, so through Zoom I went from hatred to love with TikTok, hahaha.
