According to a top executive, Zoom Video Communications wants to develop into a platform for collaboration rather than merely a video conferencing network.
According to Sameer Raje, general manager and head of India & SAARC at Zoom Video, the company is testing out certain projects in India to determine the potential applications for drone systems.
Zoom Events has also been introduced by the company in India.
Raje stated, “We are introducing something for a customer where Zoom meetings are being used on a drone system to provide input for geographical mapping and geographical survey, as well as detecting missing persons. It’s a whole collaborative tale, then. A meeting application is not all that it is. Zoom is evolving in a number of formats as technology advances.
Using Zoom on drones to record information to monitor plants, industries, and pipelines as well as for geotagging land surveys and similar uses, he continued, the use cases were “absolutely spectacular.”
Raje stated that “as of right now, in India, we are doing some of the pilots (and) are in the most preliminary stages.” It’s a whole collaborative tale, then. A meeting application is not all that it is. Zoom is evolving in a number of formats as technology advances.

The senior leadership is informed of this, and several individuals are watching the live feed from the drone that is in the field in a Zoom meeting.
Zoom-shared remote-controlled drone video is used by the Oceanside Police Department in California to provide command and control vision for activities carried out by law enforcement, emergency responders, and other emergency personnel.
The Department may save lives, run safer operations, and increase its capacity for public safety and search and rescue by adopting Zoom to speed up information processing and sharing.
“The ideal human and machine team can be created through the deliberate application of collaboration technology. Public safety departments can lessen risk to team members while boosting visibility and situational awareness by integrating Zoom with drone footage, body cam technology, and other tangible on-site components, according to a statement on Zoom’s website.
Due to the size of its user base and the nature of its clients, Zoom considers India to be one of its most important markets. This was one of the main drivers for the Nasdaq-listed business’s decision to introduce Zoom Events to India.
The product, an all-in-one platform, gives event planners the flexibility to create live events for practically any size internal or external audience while combining the scalability and dependability of Zoom Webinars, Zoom Meetings, and Team Chat into one solution.
Businesses from a variety of sectors are now able to hold hybrid and virtual events, such as user conferences and all-hands meetings, as well as internal events like sales summits.
The San Jose-based business said that since its 2021 launch, Zoom Events has served over 7,000 customers and hosted more than 150 events each day on average.
More than 30,000 virtual attendees from all over the world were treated to the newest in communications at Zoomtopia 2021, which Zoom also hosted on Zoom Events.
According to Roopam Jain, vice president of research, information and communications technologies at Frost & Sullivan, “as enterprises in India embrace virtual and hybrid events as a core part of their communications and collaborations strategy, they can look to Zoom Events to create one-of-a-kind, interactive and immersive virtual experiences.”
