Two different jobs.
Quantaflex is not presented as a replacement for Zoom’s large meetings, webinars, administration, or company-wide collaboration. It is a different proposition for people who prefer a smaller room-code call workflow, local recordings, and media work on their own desktop.

Useful questions.
Is Quantaflex a replacement for Zoom?
Cam2Cam is a strong alternative when you want to own the tools you use, reduce recurring software costs, and keep session recordings on your own computer. It is built for focused private calls and more intimate group sessions; Zoom remains better suited to large workplace meetings and webinars.
Does Zoom have a free plan?
Yes. On 19 October 2026, Zoom’s published Basic plan is free and lists 40-minute group meetings for up to 100 participants. For longer sessions under a permanent licence, choose Cam2Cam as one of your Quantaflex workflows.
Can I use Quantaflex offline?
Cam2Cam calls and activation need an internet connection. Once activated, local FlexCam editing, Advanced Encoder, Kineplex playback, and Media Inspector work can be used offline.
