The household that took the world by storm immediately after the COVID-19 pandemic is the Zoom meeting. It has become a popular synonym in the mainstream market where millions of people use it on a daily basis. With a simple-to-use, minimalistic user interface, and a freemium model, they dominated the market pushing back the pioneers. Zoom ended 2020 with an unbelievable increase of 354% increase in its user engagement. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom meeting has successfully expanded the market, breaking down several boundaries that existed and have given rise to a new verb “We will Zoom\u201d from the users. The lockdown unlocked the doors for the Zoom product as it took over the market in a full-blown sweep.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Where Did Everything Start?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Zoom has emerged as one of the most successful video conferencing apps in the market. Eric Yuan<\/a>, the mind behind the app, is a Chinese-born software engineer. Initially, he faced doubts from several investors as major players like Microsoft and Cisco dominate the market. His interest in developing a video conferencing app peaked when he had to travel long distances to meet his now-wife in their past. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He always believed that demand for mobile software would increase in the business world as it enhances usability in real-life scenarios.         <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mr. Yuan didn’t intend to create the Zoom meeting app for the masses in the mainstream market, but the lockdowns raised the stakes. Although the app faced a downpour of privacy complaints in the first quarter of 2020, it bounced back even stronger. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As of March 2020, they had over 200 million active users on a daily basis and have penetrated almost every sector in the market including Yoga\/Fitness instructions, casual meetings, classrooms, and business conferences. Zoom increased its scrutiny over the months as the number of active users climbed to 10 million by the end of 2020. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

What Happened After the Massive Uptake?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Several hackers tried to give a direct hit to its reputation as they attempted to hijack the meetings and exposed their security flaws. Zoom lets its users create custom URLs for their meetings. It can also be under an organization, and that emerged as a serious flaw in their system by which anyone could pose as a fellow employee. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hackers manipulated these meeting links and sent malicious invitations to their victims as a part of their phishing attacks. By appearing as a legitimate member of an organization, they were able to steal the valuable credentials of several people which includes their sensitive information.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 Zoom meeting app also found itself sandwiched between major political scrutiny for its ties with China. Business analysts have decided that a majority of revenue for Zoom comes from business customers as video conferencing apps have become the need of the hour. As every organization is looking for an effective platform to establish seamless connectivity with its employees, Zoom is the one they could rely on. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As the situation demanded remote work, things have become more challenging for Zoom. The pioneers in this niche have started to pour resources into their products to grab their slice of the market. As the stakes got bigger, Zoom was forced to overcome its reputational blows to control the momentum. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Will the Massive Growth Continue in the Post-Pandemic Era?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0 As customers kept flocking to their Zoom, they were able to deliver a stellar user experience. Several business analysts changed their minds about the Zoom meeting app’s ratings as attributed to the requirements and expectations of the massive influx of customers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As several companies have started to migrate from traditional workspace to remote work, growth opportunities are still high for Zoom meetings. Their customer metric surged beyond the scale as they ended the first quarter of 2020 with a total of 265,400 enterprise employees. Here is a graphical representation of their growth in the aforementioned time frame.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Zoom\u2019s stock value has been bombarded with exponential numbers as reports have concluded that it closed at an all-time high of $223.87 in the market on June 3. Furthermore, it exhibited a massive inflation of 200% from %68.04 in Dec 2019. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Although the platform was highly criticized for its security flaws, its user engagement seems unstoppable. The flood of complaints has forced them to ramp up their security protocols, including the integration of end-to-end encryption.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

With their end-to-end encryption feature, they will be able to balance user privacy without compromising vulnerable groups’ safety. They will also be able to ensure the safety of children and potential victims of hate crimes.\u00a0<\/p>\n\n\n

            Zoom wasn’t the first one to pull off this trick, but it mastered it properly and took hold of the opportunity when surfaced. In a highly technical market, where millions of people are looking for a solution in the form of a video conferencing app, Zoom took the lead. A vast majority of people have started to use the app to stay connected for both personal and work reasons.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Users will be able to change their backgrounds and have fun with other participants. They can mess around with the filters and other options in the app whilst communicating with their colleagues or friends. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here\u2019s Why you should Integrate the Zoom app into your Business:<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

            Technology has established remote collaboration without any barriers, and it’s no longer a brainer-thing. As almost everyone lives with a smartphone practically, people are able to connect with anyone irrespective of the time.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
