Even if you could get away with it, no amount of money is worth having to endure two standups per day.

  When I was working on a team with people from all over Europe our standup was a 15 minute video conference at 09:00 CET. Each of us briefly said what we had done yesterday, what we intended to do today, and mentioned any problems that we thought that someone else might offer some insight into. The team leader would then summarize any concerns that were raised, suggest that person A contact person B to discuss the aforementioned concerns and that was it. We were mostly pretty self motivated but the standup helped us keep moving together. Fifteen minutes or even half an hour at the beginning of the day doesn't seem like much of a chore to me. And this was long before Zoom existed. Can someone explain to me why Zoom is such a big thing? We were using video conferencing in the last century without it.

We were using video conferencing in the last century without it. a) Zoom is very good at reducing the number of clicks between a link in your email and being on a call b) Zoom is easier to say and type than “video conferencing,” so people say it even when the actual application they’re using might differ

      The number of clicks from a Zoom email to a zoom call: - Click the Link - Click the "Start the meeting button", nothing happens - Click "join meeting from browser" after waitint for it to eventually show me that option - I'm in the meeting! 3 clicks Number of clicks from a Google Meets email to a Zoom call: - Click the Link - I'm in the meeting! 1 click.
