Why is zoom succeeding? Its truly a mystery to me. Why don&#x27;t people just use meet or teams, which are free?

During a conference call, Eric Yuan said: “Free users for sure we don’t want to give that because we also want to work together with FBI, with local law enforcement in case some people use Zoom for a bad purpose.” (From the article)

Old title: CEO says free calls on Zoom are not encrypted<p>New title: Business is booming

Nice work on censoring the original title HN mods ಠ_ಠ<p>You asshats completely altered the sentiment of the post. Original title had to do with Zoom CEO saying they are not encrypting calls on free plans so they can more easily work with the FBI.<p>Does the mod who made that change happen to own stock in Zoom?
