When you report Daily/Weekly/Monthly Active Users, you report distinct daily users. So unless each one of these users are using a different device with no identifying features to connect them under a same identifier, the numbers are more or less accurate. Users who do not use the application during the period are not counted.
Sure, it could be that they are lying, but considering how Zooming has become a synonym for video chat, I don't think it is that farfetched.
- russell_h 6y agoSure, but the Zoom metric is not "Daily Active Users" it is "Daily Active Meeting Participants". They've been very clear that this counts each time a user joins a meeting. See: https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/30/21242421/zoom-300-million-users-incorrect-meeting-participants-statement https://www.theverge.com/2020/4/30/21242421/zoom-300-million... (Of course this was all back in April, and especially with their adoption in education maybe they _do_ have 300m DAUs by now - I'm just responding to the metric in the original article.)
