Video Teleconferencing service, Zoom, announced that the platform now has more than 300 million daily active meeting participants.
Zoom CEO Eric S. Yuan, last month shared that the company had hit 200 million daily active meeting participants. That means the company has added more than 100 million users in roughly three weeks' time.
Previously, Zoom reported that it had a total of 10 million users at the end of December 2019.This incredible stat was shared during a company webinar with Zoom CEO Yuan and later detailed on the company’s website.
“More than 300 million people around the world are using Zoom during this challenging time,” read a post on the Zoom blog, thanking its users, on April 22. This number includes both free and paid users.
This outrageous figure (300 million) was shared as almost an afterthought in the update on the company’s website. The post mainly focused on the major security upgrade that Zoom had just rolled out in response to the criticism it was receiving from security experts.
The change in security issues that plagued Zoom actually makes its exponential growth even more astonishing, as many large corporations and government banned its employees from using the service.
Security issues such as; Zoom-bombing, hacking, stolen accounts, sharing of personal user data, have plagued the platform do not appear to have had an effect on Zoom becoming people’s video chat service of choice during the coronavirus pandemic.
But, let's watch and see what will play out for the company in the coming weeks/months.
