I think a better distinction is 'paying customers' and 'non-paying customers'. Customers being a subset of users after all makes it a bit ambiguous.
Not that it should matter in the context of the feature being described.
- xiphias2 6y agoI'm still not a native English speaker, but a Google search shows that non-paying customers are people who don't pay their bills, which is not the same thing as users who don't have bills to pay. Also as I wrote, Zoom was thinking of selling E2E encryption as a payed feature, that's why the distinction really matters (I would happily pay for it if that would give me a strong assurance that I just don't have so far).
- pc86 6y agoNon-paying customers can mean either customers who are delinquent in paying their bills, or customers that are using the service for free with permission.
- selimthegrim 6y agoNon-revenue customers for the latter (from airlines)
- bshipp 6y agoI don't think I'd happily pay for Zoom, regardless of their encryption promises. I've personally struggled more with zoom call quality issues and hardware conflicts than I have with any other video conference provider.
- olyjohn 6y agoAlso anecdotally, I hear the opposite from every single person I know. Zoom has been the video conferencing system that works the best. Have you ever used Go2Meeting, WebEx, Teams? Constant struggles with those applications for me, my friends, and my co-workers.
- tuukkah 6y agoIn my experience, Google Meet is the one where no-one has problems. Zoom and Teams are the least reliable of the bunch.
- mianos 6y agoYou really have to use Teams every day to appreciate just how buggy it is on all three platforms. I used slack video for remote standups for a year or so and aside from the odd little hiccup it was boringly stable. Teams fails at least once a week.
