Fair argument, I just think it's rather 'throwing the baby out with the bathwater', getting rid of a tool that teachers are familiar with, works well and can handle 200MM customers because of an easily changed setting, which is already present in the software. I know your argument is the correct one, but it's frustrating to see Zoom caught up in a furore of media-driven controversy.

> works well and can handle 200MM customers That’s the the point though: Zoom doesn’t “work well” if you include basic security as a required part of “working.” Zoom using ECB mode for encryption, and transmitting keys to China says everything. They just don’t care about security at all. Everyone in the banking industry I work with has blocked or banned Zoom for longer than COVID-19 has been around. Microsoft Teams seems to be the new Default choice, if only because everyone is using office365 already and anything is better than WebEx.

  I also think, it doesn't work well for conferencing... Last/First time we used it, the annotation tool just stopped updating, colleague was drawing and I was: "I don't see anything" (and then everyone: yeah me too). Also I'm wondering, why it send the "foreign" screen in fusll res (WQHD), but at a measly 4 fps with crappy compression... After this my personal impression is that it is just an obtrusive piece od adware, which happens to behave like a rootkit in some parts...

    “Everyone in the banking industry has blocked Zoom” was my qualifier. The U.K. even held a cabinet meeting over Zoom. There’s a lot more than schoolwork taking place on Zoom unfortunately.
