WORKS FOR

Any team running remote meetings. Universal adoption means zero friction for external calls.

KEY INSIGHT

Still the default for external meetings because everyone already has it. That network effect is hard to beat.

DOESN'T WORK FOR

Free plan limits group meetings to 40 minutes — a hard stop mid-conversation. Heavy users need Pro at $13.33/user.

Approximately 1/3 width and 1/2 height of screen is used for Zoom Meet Teams. Calendar (Zoom now, Google previously).

Reports seem to be of system crashes and degraded performance. For Linux to eat into Windows user market share... critical things like Zoom have to work at least as reliably as on Windows.

The ability to write in the meeting chat before and after a meeting for example. That is some serious quality of life function that all others are lacking.

Zoom isn’t a replacement for in-person meetings all of the time but it’s pretty good for a lot of purposes.

I also use many paid solutions personally like Cozi.com, Zoom, and ProtonMail for managing my life.

I started to use it (pay user), and no matter what I try, I never get the confirmation appointment emails. Zoom support is BS, even if you are paying.

Because Zoom does the same thing, but better. I can share my screen, I can see real faces (not avatars), and I don't really care about seeing people's fake bodies.

And now, the meeting service with flagrant disregard for privacy and security and several useful alternatives available (Zoom) stole your personal information.

I don’t especially like it, but there’s really no viable alternative. Its video quality is light years ahead of anyone else, and its UI, though still klunky, has become a de facto standard.

Make them come to Europe for the meeting or zoom it.

Zoom is refusing to help police track down peddos that use Zoom meetings to broadcast live sexual abuse of children.

Zoom is currently refusing to hand over IP of people joining live molestation meetings despite being shown the recording of those meetings. They are knowingly protecting pedophiles.

A new and highly sophisticated scam has emerged, exploiting Zoom’s popularity to silently install surveillance software on unsuspecting Windows machines.

I use a 2012 MacBook Air 11 for Zoom meetings. Still runs like a champ.
