Fuck Zoom. It was always a piece of shit software that was never all that secure to begin with. I hope they go out of business soon.
Yeah, they're the VHS of video calling software.
the company i'm currently working at started to adopt jitsi meet when the lockdowns began and it worked just fine, but some higher up execs found it to be not fancy enough so they introduced zoom and since them the only ones using jitsi - we even licenced and branded it for our needs - are those outside the ceo/cfo-circles. i always try to advocate for "secure, private" services and software to co-workers, successfully introduced signal instead of whatsapp for work related chats, but in case of zoom, i'm biting on concrete. "it's so convenient and since we pay for it .."
