> I disagree with webinars being a necessary product for a Zoom competitor Sorry for the bluntness, but this is like saying "pivot tables are not a necessary product for an Excel competitor". If you don't provide webinars features (panelists, Q&A, viewers on mute by default...) then you are not really a Zoom competitor, just the n+1th video chat service. I know these may look like trivial features, but having them out-of-the-box is what made Zoom a game changer. And I say that as someone that utterly despises Zoom, as recently most of my friends ended up being inexplicably locked out of the webinar where I was defending my PhD.
