THE STORY OF ZOOM / ZOOM DOCUMENTARY - Skype launched nearly a decade before Zoom, so why does everyone use Zoom now instead? Before the pandemic shut down the world, Skype held the largest share of the video-calling market. So when businesses, friends, and families had no choice but to interact with each other through their screens, Skype was set to see the sort of growth other companies can only dream of. But that didn’t happen. Instead, Zoom seemed to pop up out of nowhere and take over the industry in what felt like the blink of an eye. So what exactly did happen? How did Zoom’s founder, who moved to the US unable to speak a word of English, beat Microsoft, and build the number one video calling platform in the world? And how did a young man’s desire to see his girlfriend turn into a company worth billions of dollars? This is the incredible love story that changed the world. This is the inspiring true story of Zoom. In this video we’ll answer questions like: How did Zoom become so successful? Why did Zoom become so popular? And we’ll not just look at Zoom vs Skype, but the battle for the whole video conferencing market. I hope you enjoy the history of Zoom.

I’d always wondered why everyone suddenly seemed to start using Zoom, even though there were already loads of other video calling platforms… It turns out, the story behind this is pretty fascinating. And it all starts with a kid setting on fire his neighbour’s chicken shed 😅

nah bro Skype was peak
Hey,
I think there might be an interesting point to add to the Zoom story. The founders' original goal was to ensure smooth audio and video even in challenging network conditions. Unlike many other apps, Zoom would switch to an audio call with lower-quality video if the network was weak, which kept users connected. This was a significant advantage compared to other apps where both audio and video would disconnect during network issues. It's a unique aspect of Zoom's design worth exploring for your content.
Best,
[DEEPTANSH]
Bro wrote a comment like an email 😂😂
Yo rlly interesting
That’s sick
This was a lifesaver when i had 4mbit/s internet and online school
Can we start with the actual fact that his actual name is not Eric
god that investor who gave him the name is a fucking legend
Indeed

Well, he would be, if anyone knew who he was! 😁
As someone who has used Zoom before, honestly I feel it is better. I've always hated teams/skype and just felt it fitted in well, without any unneccessary rubbish.
I like it a lot.
Wow 1video and 1.4 million subscribers.

Such a beautiful and inspiring story. First time I used Zoom on my phone, I didn't like it. It felt weird because I was so used to Skype and Skype seemed more professional to Zoom. Even Zoom's name didn't sound professional. Well, not anymore, I use Zoom all the time and it was a saver during the pandemic. Kudos to Eric Yuan for sticking to his dream and making it a reality.
The simplicity of zoom and the fact it works on slower connections is what gives it the edge over competitors for me
Simplicity is often the best no need overcomplications
I always thought it was interesting how Skype blew the bag like this
ppl forget how awful skype was. It was virus-like in its system takeover
The editors on this channel deserve an Oscar ❤
💯 true, i'm shocked at their high level of creativity
for real, such great work!!
are they good at acting?
Pretty sure it's AI generated to match what he says
No, it isn't. That some real After effects editing right there@@KenB3
People saying discord killed skype, here is why you are wrong:
While it’s true that alot of gamers who used skype, switched to discord. What most gamers probably don’t know, is that most of Skype’s activity was from businesses. When you used to call a service desk, you would be calling a skype number. (Often used by people with jobs)
This is a way bigger market considering how many people call to servicedesk every day across the world.
When the pandemic hit, zoom took over the business part of skype, which essentially killed it.
You are not entirely correct. Microsoft killed skype themselves with Microsoft Teams, which does see a lot of corporate usage
@@DrakyrusGunther correct, teams is widely used in business (now, not soo much to this extent before the pandemic) but that did not kill skype. Skype has always had better integrations (even too this day) regarding the servicedesk case i made above. Teams external phone number, is still really buggy and bad. Most normal jobs switched from skype to zoom, and then over to teams, with their integrations and ecosystem with O365
This channel is so damn good. I have learned a lot about different people, companies etc. Thanks a lot magnates media.
I've never used zoom mostly because of other services like Teams and Discord. I use Teams for school/work, Discord for friends. And I never use the video chat either, I only use voice chat.
Zoom's meteoric rise isn't just about video conferencing; it's a testament to adaptability in the face of change. This video dives deep into the factors that truly catapulted Zoom into the global spotlight. A must-watch for anyone curious about the digital revolution's unsung heroes
This is one of the best well-informed shows on CZcams I love this channel keep up
Your videos are priceless thanks. Better than most on mainstream TV.
By far the most inspiring CZcams channel on my watchlist. Thanks for sharing!
Microsoft bought Skype and just used that whole company to build Microsoft Teams. Skype was dead even before Zoom got big.

@@Certified_Technician your mom frees my mind from bad thoughts.

I know everyone says this so I have to also, this video could be on mute and I'd still love it by the presentation. The graphics are always phenomenal
I love how you narrate; I'm a voice actor. Now, if we could only get global influencers like Gates to do as they want us to and meet online rather than burn petroleum flying their jets and driving fancy cars to airconditioned/heated auditoriums where top shelf steaks are served at summits and such--because apparently they didn't get their own memo about this EMERGENCY.
Hey unrelated question but i've struggled with recording audio for videos, as a voice actor do you have any tips
so much an emergency those telling you it is do everything they tell you not to.....
yeah thats totally logical when admitting you know they do it
Climate crisis is a hoax
@@DoubleUno-11just get a good mic & pre amp and try and set the gain on the preamp correctly. That’s really all there is to it! Most bad audio issues simply come down to you’re using the wrong gain settings. Too much and you clip. Too little and it’s quiet & hissy when you turn it up. Try and be around -12 to -6 db range and you’re good
My businesses are currently not doing so well, but watching your videos just drives me to keep on going. Your videos are not just for entertainment, but motivation for other entrepreneurs. Thank you!
Goodluck to you bro keep pushing your gonna be great❤️I’m currently working on launching my first one
bless you
You are the first one I’ve heard mention recovery meetings! I really appreciate that. ❤️

Thanks John for these videos... really do rely on them for true inspiration. One-day , hopefully u'll tell a story about mine.
We love u magnates! Keep it up man
Always amazing content. Thank You
Great video! Thanks for sharing .
I truly enjoy listening to ur voice!! Weird, I know but u’re probably the best story teller I’ve come across along with Morgan Freeman, in a long time!! ❤❤
This is the second video I have watched by you (after that video where you explained why your channel was almost deleted) and I must say that I loved every second that I watched (even the ad part). You just won a loyal subscriber :)

Excellent work as always John ❤
Not sure why you left out Discord when comparing online audio and video communication softwares. Also, using Skype in 2020 was pretty much unheard of, everyone started using Discord around 2016-2017. You even showed a complaint at 24:32 comparing it to Discord.
Maybe its because Discord has age restrictions?
@@mtoingehsmaybe, but those are so easy to fudge. Also while Discord is more convenient for people who already use the platform, Zoom is easier to use for first time users.
Great video. Had no idea of this story
My favourite part is when MagnatesMedia forgot to mention that the zoom stock is at an all time low, from $511 per share to under $60. Other than that, the rest of the video was fantastic, transitions were clean, the graphics made perfect sense 98% of the time, and the story was engaging.
Let me guess, the ATH was during the height of the pandemic?
Incredible productions coming from your channel! Even if I know the topic fairly well, I always learn many new things. Fantastic research and production - kudos!
Before going I Already know this is going to be a phenomenal video.
lmao skype rested on its laurels because it didn't expect to get beaten, but as soon as a better alternative popped up, everyone mass-migrated from skype.
everything every video is so well done genuine treat to watch
Really interesting story. So happy to see people working hard and succeeding.
With that said, my experience with zoom is the complete opposite to what’s presented in this video. I need a password to get into a meeting, the UI is terrible, the quality of both audio and video is just bad. At my previous company I used MS Teams as well as other services, and all of them were way better. I hope that zoom can address all these issues, because currently it is far from being good.
Two vids in one week your on fire man.
This was perfect. Absolutely perfect.
Love your videos and editing
Dang, I completely forgot about Skype until this video.
How about Hummer?
I love seeing this guy upload
Your videos are always top tier editing
It deserved millions of views
Great positive video .. i didn't know this story either
Do you interview the CEOs of companies to produce these videos? They are such high quality and detailed! Amazing work!
Zoom stock is down nearly 90% from its pandemic peak though. And STILL has a P/E ratio of over 600!!!
So that means that the stock price of Zoom is STILL overvalued AND the earnings EPS is very low? Does it mean it's better to sell them? I have few hundreds of their shares from my past employment
Legendary editting!
This is the only channel with narrator not putting me to sleep and distraction LOL. Hats down to Eric Yuan, what an inspiration!!!
Discord lowkey killed Skype
I have been binging these videos, I take interest in these topics.
Thank you for documenting this.
Nice video ❤
i remember using zoom for years when the pandemic started, kept me in touch with my bf. it's so interesting to see how they grew this company and what fundamentals they had in mind. literally changed my world for the better, and those of many others i'm sure. hearing a more personal side of the story, i hope they continue to grow.
Are you guys now married?
@@iloveparadise unfortunately not :(
You’ve become my favorite CZcamsr by far
Great vid 👍👍
Love the videos! ♥♥
i always wondered this too because i knew ab skype forever but only learned ab zoom a little before the pandemic
Did anybody else think they were going crazy hearing the Facebook ringtone during the video but not realizing that it was the video thinking someone was calling them but getting no missed calls?
Love the content
Well explained and elaborate
this channel slaps bro, the algorithm blessed me!
Back to back videossssss 🙏🙏
Of all your videos this is the best one. Im working on a video with this editing style using final cut pro Its time consuming
glad to see another video out after the yt drama. love the content. keep it up
The editing always gives me chills 😃
Bro watch the video 1st
Ok I’ll let you know if I’ll

I am wondering how did he get hands on Eric’s whole story.
Probably used AI
research
@@Price1985what? Stop making stuff up based on nothing
Some of them could come from interviews or speeches he personally made. Take note.
Never Fails to tell Magnificent Videos ❤😊
Your documentaries are world class. SImples. Keep it up! Love from the UK.
What to say!!! Amazing stuff man❤️
In my case, it's Discord that killed Skype, not Zoom
Anyone who uses modern and stable technology stopped using Skype long long before Zoom was a thing.
Skype has been absolute dogshit for years now.
Um just here❤ for yu editing man
very good video!!!!!
😀
Never stop on making these beautiful videos.
10:04 this is how I feel about my previous organisation.
10:53 this is what I also did (not video calling but data driven features)
Its wild of how humble starts grow big.
Perfection video, Time for top quality CZcams content folks
When I was a kid I would watch back to the future. In the second one they would talk through their TV and I thought that was amazing. My parents lived in separate sides of the country and I wished so bad that I could have something like that.
What a wonderful love story! I was wondering aboit the China connection, thanks for clearing that up.
Finally thanks mate
Maybe, just maybe, zoom was really the friends we made along the way
This channel has some of the best videos ever on CZcams!

Surely i wasnt the only one who downloaded skype just to hear that banger play when calling somone.
12:25 his wife: you should not throw everything away
Eric: trows everything away
To think it all started because he wanted to see his gf… beautiful ❤
Despite tough and huge competitors, it is a company that has been successful thanks to knowing what customers want. I respected.
Was literally binging his old videos I watched way back and he drops a new one for me. Thanks
favourite youtuber by far
I LOVE your channel God Bless You ❤
I remember using Skype to talk to family, when I deployed to Afghanistan. Maybe it was the clearly slower internet I had, but I wasn’t a big fan of how low quality the calls were. 12 years later, I attended a class through zoom, and saw how much better it was. Again it might have been the slower internet or just better technology.
