Are writers being encouraged to write “Zoom call” instead of “Video call” in their write ups? I know that it has nothing to do with the article, I’m just interested to know if anyone else had noticed.
> “No. It was India that took the initiative to bring it to the ICAO assembly,” said Captain Enrique Valdes on a Zoom call from the US.
- bigwavedave 6y agoI can't speak for anyone else, but since we use zoom at work, my younger siblings use it for class, and my family uses it to keep in touch every few weeks, we usually say "zoom call" or "let's hop on a zoom" (which sounds like a drug euphemism, now that I think about it) unless it's explicitly different like FaceTime. In fact, I don't think we say "video call" really at all, we just use the name of the service as a verb. But YMMV, I can only speak from anecdata.
