Zoom, along with Microsoft and Amazon, have been practically the only companies that have seen the coronavirus is not affecting your financial resultsIn fact, both Microsoft and Amazon are the only companies that have increased in value since the pandemic was declared.
If we talk about Zoom, we have to talk about security and privacy, a security and privacy that is conspicuous by its absence and that has forced many governments to dispense with their services, some problems that, as usual, it seems that the end user does not care at all (we have seen it previously with Facebook).
The head of Zoom, has announced in a conference broadcast over the internet that his video calling platform just surpassed 300 million daily users. Zoom, which was born as a platform to make calls quickly and easily, was used by about 10 million people every day in December 2019.
In mid-March, when the coronavirus was rampant, that figure stood at 200 million. A month later, the video calling platform it has experienced a growth of 50%.
To try to solve the security and privacy problems that this company has presented since its launch, Zoom announced a 90-day security plan, a period in which they would solve each and every problem that the platform has today and that have been more than enough reason for most governments to stop trusting it.
Meet now from Skype, the best alternative
A couple of weeks ago, Skype presented Meet Now, a video calling system based on Skype, which allows us join firm meetings in a way that Zoom currently offers us, and without having to register at any time on the Microsoft platform.
After the last update of the application for Windows, Mac. Linux, Meet Now also allows us customize video call background, one of the most striking features of Zoom.
