I've been in the interview loop as of late, and there's been a crazy shift away from Zoom. Almost every video chat I had was using Zoom a couple months back, now everyone is using Google Chat or MS Team Meetings.
Now these are small to medium-ish size companies (20-500 people), so maybe it's not a big deal to Zoom's marketing bottom line. But it's definitely a thing.
- Spooky23 6y agoIt’s the business model. Scaling up Zoom or Webex is costly because it’s based on meeting hosts. Teams or Meet works fine (unlike the train wreck of Skype), have improved recently and are already paid for.
- skinnymuch 6y agoIs any one choosing Teams for Teams alone and not because of already having a relation with Microsoft? That’s Microsoft’s playbook. People are doing 50-200 person video meetings with Google? Has Meet really improved that much since March/April? That’s not that long ago. Otherwise it seems more like cost is the reason. Not anything relating to quality.
- bigiain 6y agoWe're using Google Meet, but for the very Microsoftian reason of "it comes with our GSuite"... While we pay lip service to Zoom's super shitty security stance, we now run a video meeting service where it's trivially easy to click the "turn on captions" button, and see how good a job the world's biggest advertising agency is doing of transcribing all the audio in our most sensitive business WFH calls... :sigh: (I have my own Jitsi Meet instance running on AWS, but there's me and about four of my tinfoil headwear sporting friends who care enough to bother using it...)
