Zoom’s privacy issues are more than minor, if my friends started using it and I couldn’t get the web version to work I wouldn’t do a conference call with them.


Can I ask if you are using video conferencing in a business setting?

When folks are trying to get stuff done in tough circumstances NO ONE has ANY patience for the home built / funky / privacy enhanced multi-click setup. Especially not the top executives now dialing in from home who aren't tech forward. IT doesn't want to trouble shoot things either - all of a sudden you have 1000+ folks video conferencing.

I'd be interested in these dealbreaker privacy problems in the current client.


We're using webex at work but I've used half a dozen different tools so far with friends (no FOSS ones unfortunately) and they all work about as well.


I used to use webex more, but zoom just had had some incredible mindshare growth. Its literally the first suggestion it seems when there is a problem with a conference setup. Latency is also good on zoom which makes the audio side nicer in my experience.
