If one or more participants attend the meeting, you will see a video thumbnail at the bottom-right corner. It looks like a good collage if, say, of 10 members. The meeting checks all the boxes of an official-person meeting, in addition to allowing you to mute audio, mic, and video.
You can share screens directly from your Android device, share photos, web and Google Drive, Dropbox, or box files, and easily invite phone, email, or company contacts, even if they are not zoom users. You can share files directly from your phone during a meeting and use the whiteboarding feature on your phone by typing a comment by your finger.

Break-out rooms are separate sessions that you can break up your zoom meeting, and have up to 50 of them. Here, users will be able to meet in small groups with full audio and video capabilities and then come back together in large groups whenever they want.
