>Is Zoom here to stay or is video conferencing here to stay?
I think Zoom is here to stay at the enterprise level. Video conferencing was always a niche product until the pandemic. It was a big business, but never quite large enough to experience network effects. Now that it's a mainstream part of most people's lives, that has all changed. Zoom was in the right place at the right time to capture that, and it's going to be very hard moving forward for someone to unseat them at this point.
- llampx 5y agoIn Europe I haven't come across a business using Zoom instead of Google Meets or MS Teams, or even gathertown as someone else mentioned. Mostly because they already have licenses for Office or G-Suite. Is it a US thing?
- ramesh31 5y ago>Is it a US thing? Must be. It's become pretty standard across companies I've dealt with. Maybe a 9/10 split with MS/Google.
- xxpor 5y agoPersonally, I've never been on a Teams call. I'd say it's been about 50% zoom, 50% webex, surprisingly. Fortunately with webex, the invites include a generic SIP address that we can use with our video conferencing equipment.
- cr1895 5y agoIt’s interesting how this differs so much! I think I’ve never been on a work-related Zoom call, and only extremely rarely something like webex. Almost always Teams.
- captainbland 5y agoSame. One place that was otherwise quite lenient and tended to let people use whatever (allowed both Teams and Slack) explicitly barred Zoom completely, considering it a security risk.
- ako 5y agoEurope here, Netherlands actually: developers mostly using and preferring Zoom, rest of the organization using Teams.
