We’ve used Zoom for a couple years. I think the only reason it for popular is because it was free for groups of normal people to use for 30 mins (and they lifted the restriction temporarily).

As an employment recruiter I've scheduled numerous interviews through zoom

I heard of it before the outbreak, it had an IPO (stock ticker ZM) but a bunch of retards bought the wrong stock (ticker ZOOM) causing it to moon and they wrote a million articles about it on bloomberg and cnbc. It was basically videoconferencing software for businesses too retarded to use skype.

You never heard of it before because no human being had the need to videoconference outside of a business context until recently and your work probably uses skype or slack or you are a NEET.

Use webex, there’s less hacking on that platform versus zoom.

Zoom, Tik Tok, Valorant. The chinese are under your sheets

> Retard didn't know about a publicly traded $15B company

It's the next globalist bullshit app they're spamming it every where it was even on (((late night show with Colbert)))

I don’t see what zoom provides that something like ‘google hangouts’ doesn’t provide...

Everyone here is 14 user. They wouldn't even know what a publicly listed company is

Yes user. They're spamming us with it to get all our precious calls to mom and dad.
It's not like it was worth literally $16B, was publicly listed, and already had tons of business users sharing actually useful information

I heard of it before for scheduling interviews

probably because you didn't have a job of any real importance.

This whole pandemic has been an advertisement for Zoom and tiktok

> ZOOM IS A CONSPIRACY!
> USE GOOGLE GUYS!
nigger you want to givr Google even more of your data?

Fucking kek
My sides ahahahahah

It's used by businesses.
Of course you wouldn't know about it because Yas Forums is full of NEETs.

Tiktok has been big with zoomers since the middle of last year

Hahahahahahahahahaha

I've used zoom for 2 years for remote project meetings. I'm seeking my masters in aerospace engineering, my bachelor's was in computer engineering, and I work within a top-secret DoD program.

Every schizo here is a fucking retard over this. It's legit just a platform like slack for video conferences, a bit more professional than Skype and you don't need to create an account to use it (at least I don't think). You can call into meetings by dialing on your cell phone as well.

Since things transferred to online, obviously this was a good choice. Or, zoom created the coronavirus pandemic or some shit, right? Because clearly that's more logical

>Why did I never hear about Zoom before COVID?
Because you don't have an office job? Every contractor / consultant / traveling internal employee I've had to do meetings with has used zoom links for years.

fuck zoom

FUCK ZOOM AND FUCK ZOOMERS

Went to Zoomtopia last year. Their annual conference where they try to be like Cisco Live and have a big name musical act.

Imagine the discord of a stage shared by Lynyrd Skynyrd and Snoop Dog while you're drinking unlimited booze and eating street food in San Jose.

What were you holding your remote meetings in before?

As always normies can't into computers.
It's botnet don't use it.
There are various solutions to it but I won't share it because this website is full of brain damaged people.
Just go look at gnu.org for real fucking software that respects your freedom
