Overview
Zoom became a verb by doing one thing exceptionally: video calls that connect fast and stay stable on bad networks. The platform now spans webinars, rooms, phone and an AI Companion that summarizes meetings usefully. The free tier's 40-minute cap remains its most effective upsell. Teams already inside Google Workspace or Microsoft 365 increasingly question the extra subscription, which is exactly the fight Zoom is now in.
