How Zoom Rose To The Top During Social Distancing

- Zoom has gained an incredible amount of popularity, but that popularity comes at a cost. The company is under intense scrutiny now that hundreds of millions of people are using the platform. But Zoom is in the game for the long haul, if it can survive a post-COVID-19 world, and can continue to fix privacy complaints as they come up.
With millions of people being forced to stay home to help stop the spread of COVID-19, many have found creative ways to virtually stay social through happy hours, trivia nights and birthday parties. And Zoom, one of the dozens of video conferencing services, has risen to the top, thanks to intense separation measures and a profound resonance within this new social distancing culture.
Daily downloads of the Zoom app have increased 30x year-over-year and the app has been the top free app for iPhones in the United States since March 18, according to Bernstein Research and Apptopia. Zoom said daily users spiked to 200 million in March, up from 10 million in December.
But it hasn't been without scrutiny. Privacy concerns have been rising around Zoom, including "Zoombombing," where a malicious user will join a Zoom meeting and show explicit or disturbing images. CEO Eric Yuan apologized on Thursday for the security lapses and outlined what the company is doing to fix those problems.
Watch the video to learn how Zoom became the go-to platform, how it is handling the influx of users and whether the company's success can be sustained after offices open back up.

How Zoom Rose To The Top During Social Distancing
After Corona, Next video
CNBC : Rise and fall of Zoom 🤧

A nervous shorter you are.
Why not Google Hangout...
I'm surprise how laggy messenger is compared to zoom.
@@justinkgunther5294 Such a popular app like Reddit still fails to have a properly working video player. And their servers are also quite often down....
Its not laggy at all
U are surprised lmfao its facebook it sucks anyways
onee Reddit also can't stop giving me phantom notifications.
Zoom has security issues.
Instead of suspending classes completely, my University here is Brazil is using Zoom to have online classes.
Same in the Netherlands, waddup g
Same case for me in the USA. Though I have been caring less about my classes
Same in India lol 😂 a billion users here
same here in Canada
Mine here in Brazil, is using google meet
Coronavirus Pandemic: *exists*
Zoom: *Now this looks like a job for me*
Global society/economy collapse..due to the tyrannical response to these parasitic thugs.
Not to mention their fake FIAT currency central banking scheme. This weak economy is not falling over night.

China: Zoom, send me all the encryption keys for all the chats so we can spy on western businesses.
@@ericcartmann oh Cartman..don't be silly..Western governments do all the spying on their own citizens as is. ALL being NWO puppets. IMF being one of the head cabal syndicates. Follow the money
My school used zoom for classroom
Beenadd Sebhat funny but kinda not funny
It was gonna happen. Zoom was quick to pay media to make customers aware of their presence. On top of the marketing, they have strong product.
When "Zoom" becomes a verb you know that brand is rocketing to the moon 🚀 - Asian Food Nerd
Zoom is already a verb
@@sallyshoaf9505 I was going to say that
Discord: *Finally, a worthy opponent!*
Discord is good more for voice calls and texting, while Zoom is better for face-to-face chats
@@sallyshoaf9505 and good for selling data to Facebook and other companies
When it comes to Skype and Discord, Skype didn't have the style that was needed... people needed something that was easy to use and wasn't RAM heavy, where they can use it in games and people can key up to say something or broadcast... it was more refined, with Zoom it's more for video conferencing between 1 on 1 people or groups for businesses and they needed something they could try without a subscription right now and has great API, Zoom is that, Zoom is similar to discord with the features that the businesses need and is so simple and easy that even grandma can use it... that's the software of today...
It needs to be so simple it can be used not just today, but right now, but it needs to be so advanced that I can customise it to be a team member of my company and possibly core staff member that is cheap. it makes money so it's what the doctor ordered when it comes to investments - a solid return, and because it hasn't got so many bugs from the Windows 98 era like Skype does that Microsoft added in
Zoom after COVID-19:
I used to rule the world
Still the onces who win are Amazon and Microsoft.. Zoom runs on their services.
@Porco Rosso like that really matters.. Microsoft and Amazon are making so much money from all the increased traffic zoom is making.. remember zoom pays for aws and azure.. For them its just another service build on top of their tech that makes them more valuable.
No zoom server are China, source: citizenlab.ca/2020/04/move-fast-roll-your-own-crypto-a-quick-look-at-the-confidentiality-of-zoom-meetings/
@@jonasklar Using that logic, cant we say that hardware companies are also making money? Since aws and azure still need servers after all. Of course they are not buying them now I assume since they already bought them. The more lower level you go, the more harder it gets to scale I guess in terms of revenue.
It's like Zoom owns the trucks but Amazon and Microsoft own the roads.
My university uses Google Meet. Just as good as Zoom, if not better.
Yeah but how much money are they making after this ends?
HAHAHA you think this is going to end... how cute
@@johnc8327 Really, you think the COVID-19 pandemic will last forever? I suggest you look at how Pandemics work. Eventually there will be a vaccine!
@leicanoct the vaccine isn't the nuke that'll flatten the curve. It's the measures like social distancing and wearing masks that'll help communities along the path
@leicanoct 18 months isn't "forever"
@leicanoct i think you're underestimating their significance, and overestimating the significance of vaccines. The latter won't mean Jack if the entire population isn't vaccinated, which it wouldn't cuz there are pockets of anti-vaxxers (especially in liberal societies like much of the western world) who would defeat the purpose. Who knows what mutation of covid19 we'll see a decade or century from now. Practices like social distancing will be far more effective than vaccinations, if established as norms in the future.
There seems to be some cracks in Zoom security and I am sure that the increase in Zoom usage over Skype for instance is largely based on people wanting to try something new. I think that Skype still offers a better all round experience without the security concerns
i wish we can just Zoom pass this virus. stay safe everyone
天吉Mark lol I see what you did there
@@jackieneversays I see what you did here
Go home
@@NG-sz2xi go home!!!
Hippo Moimoi I am duh
I had never heard of Zoom before the pandemic. In business I have seen people use Skype, Google Hangouts, Cisco and Go to Meeting, but never Zoom.
Me too had never heard, but surprisingly my company was previously using Cisco's webEx. But now we are conducting meetings on zoom.
& all these other tech giants are trying to tarnish zoom image as I read it in news paper that zoom is a malware kikkkk, & honestly am loving Zoom n no turning back.
Funny how nobody knew of zoom and it became Popular through the media marketing all during the rise of the corona virus while digital communications are the key mean while the corona virus came from communist country China where they censor everything and hide the corona virus from the world and the servers that happen to run the popular app zoom are in China ... so have fun being spied on and your info being used by communist government . I’ll stick to google duo. At least the servers are in USA and we have data protection laws at least cause we are a democracy not a communist country . People we need to stop depending on China if we want the USA to thrive . Stop supporting sending our business and jobs to other countries. Don’t sell America’s and your children’s future away to other countries...this is why we don’t have any face mask ventilators or medical drugs or supplies during the CCP Virus... it’s made in ..guess what...you guessed it..it’s on your shirt...China ..
My university has been using Zoom for official meetings and even student held meetings since at least 2018 when I came there. As they said in the video, it was fairly common among institutions and universities
I think that China has pushed it out through all of the media markets so that they can monitor the situation.
Will definitely survive
Actually held 10 to 15 video calls of hundred people in 8 to 9 days
Actually loved it Thank you zoom
We are ZOOM user and it keep us connected ,thanks for this app on time of pandemic .keep safe guys
I totally agree about the network effect. I have personally introduced zoom to over a hundred users, some were businesses .. it became the default analysis sessions application with all my clients ..
Noting that I tried goto meeting which had too many down times and needless friction with their sales staff.
we used to ZOOM for video conferencing but due to privacy concern and compatible issue with office 365 we switched to MS Teams .
I thought it all started with colleges using zoom. I know on canvas theres a tab on the side called conferzoom that was always there even before the virus.
Schools be like...
Discord, Skype, Google Classroom?: *NAH*
Zoom?: *YAS*
My school:zoom,facetime,teams?:NOOO?! GOOGLE MEET :YESSS
Zoom bombing at my school is a case of the school deploying and mandating these solutions much too late. The professors barely knew how to login with Active Directory, and now we're asking them to utilize cloud-based services.

Guy: Ask serious Question
Owner: GOOD QUESTION, I DONT KNOW!
WAAAAAY beter than most sociopathic ceos that just lie
I mean, what do you expect him to do? Make up some random answer?
1960s: in the future, everybody will be using video calls to communicate across distances.
2020s: we are now video calling to communicate across distances.
Bot alert. Social Distancing is not going to last. Hahahahaha. 2021 The fall of Zoom.
Joe Auto Upholstery , I think we all realize that. It’s just a trend. Businesses will soon realize “why hire Americans when I can hire anyone in the world to telecommute?”
Never heard of zoom before this week
As long as you don't care about security, Zoom is great.
Yeah they don’t even have end to end encryption, something that is very standard for voice over IP technologies. This is a big privacy concern especially considering almost everyone else in this market has them. There are even credible allegations that Zoom sends (not sell) data including the content to China. Something about the CEO Eric Yuan being an intelligence asset for the PRC government. Not sure of how true that is though.
After Corona ends the fall of zoom
Hanif Wafa lol no, but there will be a dozen similar apps
True
Universities will come out with their own if they can create their own moodle.

Facts
My state school district banned Zoom due to security issues and yet CNBC is reporting this app.
Its bought advertising.
@Brian Waller wion is the most biased platform ever
Which State Are you studying ?
In Turkey, our government also banned the zoom application .(
@What ? Do ur research
I had to use various video calling apps for classes in recent days
.
From my experience zoom is the most convenient and stable app
At first, Our teacher use Facebook live to take classes but it has a 30-40 second latency.we were using discord to talk.
secondly, we switched to google duo but its problem is that if there were many people the screen became too small.(we only wanted to see the teacher not everyone)
And then comes zoom ,aside from the interface being dated (android app ) it has no inherent flaws.
In my experience, I tried using Zoom to conduct an online tutorial and it kept crashing so we had to switch to Skype. Skype worked just fine.
Only time will tell what lies ahead for Zoom, but so far so good...
Zoom University is where it’s at 👏🏼👏🏼
A lot of people subscribed to HBO just for Game of Thrones, but they still had a large increase in users even after each season was over. Unless Zoom really messes up, I imagine they'll still have a much greater number of users, including paying ones, after quarantine than they did before. People know about it now, and the longer this goes on for the more comfortable they'll be using it. Even grandparents are learning how to use Zoom right now. The most inconvenient part of using this app is the learning curve, and over 200 million people are now getting over that.
beautiful... thanks to benzinga i found out abt this... good job cnbc for a great cover... another pump to fresh highs
I was already using zoom for business and volunteer projects. It is easy to use and has a cool breakout rooms feature that comes in handy for large groups. Also really inexpensive if you'll never have more than 100 people on at once. I've had it since its very early days and will continue using after COVID19, now with more other people familiar with it so less pushback about diving into new tech if I invite someone to a zoom interaction.
Me and my wife use zoom for our home based business. It's a very solid platform.
I just have a one simple question: How did they get concent from all those people to show their footages?
Should lifted the 40 minutes limit for now ; I am a teacher in Asia 😪 ; Zoom wins when participants no need to sign up like the host.
And I wish zoom reduces it to 30 minutes.
leicanoct Thats not true. I live in the U.S. and we use Microsoft teams, but I know others who use zoom.
Sean Chen if your a teacher, you can get that limit taken off.
We are having classes on zoom platform.. it real good for sure😍
plot twist: zoom released the virus
I’ve been working from home for two years and our company has been using zoom even before I joined. I always said zoom is not very good so I’m surprised they are so popular now ...
Zoom is here for at least a year. Even after the disease subsides people will still be afraid to contact physically for a long time
I was slacking when this went public lol. Loved zoom since the beginning
How are they making a profit? If most use the free version? The amount of use must have scaled up their usage of AWS and AZURE and those can become vert expensive.
Question coming from a student.
Great to see some explanation as to why zoom is dominant. I didn't understand the popularity over teams for example, even though I don't know anything about programming it is good to know that there is a reason. On the other hand, I assume a lot of people are in the same situation as I am, where they don't really know the difference in technology... so is zoom popular because there were a few that knew and started a network effect very quickly? I have online classes in 3 separate services, so cloud/no cloud doesn't seem to be a problem for most users.
Zoom is having big trouble now -- Data was routed to China, and millions of corporations' privacy data were breached. Many business are already switching to other online conferencing platforms now. Looking forward to seeing how the market would react to their stock.
No positions.
Hope they cover the security holes
I tried zoom for a conversation and loved it, but for my online course, I am sticking with Google Meets, exactly because
of the security problems, which seem serious and maybe not so easy to fix.
It's worrying: this is the message I sent to colleagues:
Today Elon Musk banned the use of the Zoom application at his SpaceX firm:

It looks like Google Meets is safe...
I have been using Zoom for years (honestly, not much but I knew about it) and I did not know about the security holes.
@@ScottRothsroth0616 when there is a surge of many people the problem that only little before now became large. It was bound to happen, basically if zoom want to become major player they must fix that security hole FAST and pursue the mainstream
Zoom won’t fall. There are so many people that use it in the Middle East, and it’s the only free video calling service in the Gulf countries where free WhatsApp calling is banned.
Sli still love how this channel loves of using totally different metric to compare something
The problem with Zoom is that so many schools use Chromebooks that they're being forced to use things like Google Meets or Skype because they can't download it onto the computers
I see zoom needing a $1 to $5 a month plan. the $19 a month is too much to justify some groups monthly meetings.
I would pay $3.99
If $19 is too much for you then you clearly arent going to any important meeting lmfao. $20 thats lunch money.....
@@AJ42069 low tier plans are more so for consumers. Most individuals are fine paying $1-3.99 per.month for something but 20 is a different price range.
It's like a $6 pack of lamb chops vs a $10 pack. Most people will buy the $6 over the $10 and some will still choose the $10, but if your only offering $10 packs of meat you loose most of the customers who would have bought the $6 one and are left with only the ones that would buy the $10 one anyway and SOME but not a lot of the $6 buyers.
Is this a zoom commercial?
It appears so
TBH it is bound to show some drop as people resume their work , school and collages but the thing is
They most likely made the money from their free users by the gains in their stock prices
And really as more and more people like it the app suddenly becomes the go to place when you have to do distace meetings because even after this pandemic ends there could still be reasons to use this app and really if you reallise that most of your meeting lasts longer than 40mins you might want to buy the premium version so that you no longer face any disruption
my company just dropped cisco webex for zoom. I doubt this company will fail after the pandemic. Their share price is likely inflated, but I don't expect the company to drop off the deep end once this ends.
Meanwhile skype be like "let's give users a massive update removing likeable features"
We Indians are still proudly using whatsapp videocall✌✌✌
My school is starting zoom next week....in Madurai......Tamil nadu........india
@@Midnightbookishteen That's a great initiative...by the way even i am from TN
Zoom advises, UNC injection exploit has been patched via upgrade to new release.
Even then, you should use a password for meetings
Use waiting room function and
Use the new security feature (lock meeting) after all your invitees have joined.
Zoom has zoomed but part of their traffic routes thru China and many privacy concerns. Good luck users!
dump that stock Board of education has told everyone to stop using zoom because of security issues.
Yay meet is trash
What is the S&P 500? Can someone give me a tldr
not only Zoom but also, Microsoft Teams, Google Meeting :)))
Why didn't they elaborate more on the security fails.
How does this compare to Microsoft Teams? How does it differ.
I screen capture all my online live streamed lectures.
So does China, the owners of Zoom.
Guys! Has anyone thought of Inhalers used for asthma patients as early stage of Covid19. Iam asthmatic & if I dont use my inhaler I am out of breath & I'll die. I use Brown inhaler as regular medication, Blue one for emergency but there is a Red one for serious Asthma sufferer. Can you please share whilst we suffer from shortages of ventilators! Thank you
CNBC - can you confirm a story about Zoom having server in China with encryption access. There are media publications indicating people with this understanding are moving away due to privacy concerns.
Well zoom now requires the host to approve the participant to join in the meeting. So I think it would already address the zoom bomb issue.
In india most of schools and colleges are using zoom for online classes
Uhhh...Zoom has colleges moving all classes online to thank for all those downloads
I will never use zoom again if the world goes back to how it was
I just don't understand - Zoom vs Teams - isn't it all the same thing?
Teams is like Slack. Zoom is basically Skype
@@chiquita683 And there is Webex
"Companies are going to see firsthand the limitations of using (Microsoft) Teams for video conferencing, of using WebEx..."
should be
"Companies have seen firsthand how Microsoft Teams is a steaming pile of garbage"
To my Skype should be really popular now
Zoom is going to be the next Unfriend horror movie
Ready: Player One!
My school use Zoom too
I feel like marrying this app. This techno idolatry is insane.
Everyone searched "good app for video calling" and Zoom came up
So you're saying Zoom spread just as fast as the coronavirus? Haha!
Buy longer term puts?
Yes
It's sad that skype did not make it, it's on so many devices like xbox
and how Zoom send your data to Facebook
u always say what happens next lol
Still not understand how it's able to increased use inspite of so many competitors
Can't you understand basic English? They already said that it's far more easy to use than other competitors, especially my old teachers understood how to use this software.
Zoom Puts
It’s overvalued and will drop once coronavirus is mostly over
And once it drops its time to buy it
This is just the beginning. There ain’t no going back
Correct. Once employers can prove that your job can be done cheaper off shore, it will be.
All these conferencing apps really want to install an executable onto my PC... given how many are from companies complicit in PRISM... I think not. Webclient or bust!
Who here used Zoom and Discord LONG BEFORE Covid? :D
That's ok but how to remove it from Play Store? our classes are starting from Tomorrow
Where are y’all getting these friends?💀 I have like one friend lol
The smart managers are not going to forget the widespread adoption of the Zoom method for holding FYI meetings. The really smart managers are going to tell employees, 'Hey, instead of coming in at 8:30, if we agree to a 15 minute Zoom meeting at 7:15 am you can come in at 9." Then at no charge an entire team will be thinking, uninterruptedly (at least for the drive in) about work for an extra hour a day. And worker tardiness will vanish.
The next video of CNBC will be :
The rise and fall of zoom
Funny, we've been using zoom at our work for awhile now. Although, it has blown up since, and I think personally it's better then Skype
Zoom will be the next bigtech
My company just warned its employees in using Zoom due to security issues. We would never use it for official purposes.
Is zoom using the pied Piper compression?
I don't even use Zoom and I am so Happy for them , Something has to be the dominant Stick :) QC
I hate zoom have to get up at 9 am for a 15 minute meeting.
We forgot about oovoo
Why zoom of all websites?
Google is looking for alternatives. They are gonna buy this zoom soon.
"While Zoom is headquartered in the United States, and listed on the NASDAQ, the mainline Zoom app appears to be developed by three companies in China, which all have the name 软视软件 (“Ruanshi Software”)."

Zoom documentation claims that the app uses AES-256 encryption for meetings where possible. However, we find that in each Zoom meeting, a single AES-128 key which we verified are sufficient to decrypt Zoom packets intercepted in Internet traffic, appear to be generated by server.
The AES-128 keys, which we verified are sufficient to decrypt, appear to be generated by Zoom servers , and in some cases, are delivered to participants in a Zoom meeting through servers in China, even when all meeting participants are outside of China.
