Zoom does not release numbers but they have seen an increase say in usage but if we look at estimated numbers:
>Zoom had 12.92 million monthly active users, up 21% since the end of 2019, Chrane and Isaacs wrote, citing data from privately held Apptopia.

Microsoft seems to have had an increase that similar to Zoom's whole user base in a week (and I don't know how much was added before that).
I think people in tech circles underestimate how many large non-tech companies just followed Microsoft into the cloud and started to use Office 365. And I assume a lot don't use it that much, maybe for a meeting here and there and a few (or way too many) channels but suddenly everyone in the company is on it.
- jburgess777 7y ago> Zoom does not release numbers Zoom released some numbers a couple of days ago: “To put this growth in context, as of the end of December last year, the maximum number of daily meeting participants, both free and paid, conducted on Zoom was approximately 10 million. In March this year, we reached more than 200 million daily meeting participants, both free and paid.” https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/01/a-message-to-our-users/ https://blog.zoom.us/wordpress/2020/04/01/a-message-to-our-u...
