So everyone is throwing Zoom on all their devices and demanding I do the same. Any notable vulnerabilities? It seems to not be secretly owned by thecChinese government like TikTok at least.
Zoom's very security conscious (Fed Ramp Moderate, Soc2, GDPR, etc )and we have most of the Fortune 100 using Zoom including HSBC, Walmart, Capital One and very big financial firms in NYC who moved over from Cisco or Microsoft very recently.So everyone is throwing Zoom on all their devices and demanding I do the same.

We now support video for virtual backgrounds too, so I have customers that taped their office at work and the video just keeps looping like they are there.Zoom has been more reliable than Hangouts so far for me. Plus I can change my background. I grabbed an office picture off our website to confuse the fuck out of my team this morning.
Oh shit. This changes everything... I need to get a couple of Pats Superbowl highlights on a loop playing behind me for a couple meetings with some Jets-fan coworkers.We now support video for virtual backgrounds too, so I have customers that taped their office at work and the video just keeps looping like they are there.
https://www.pexels.com/ has some cool backgrounds and I used 4k Video Downloader to take content off YouTube (for personal use only of course). I think the Butt Fumble would be a tremendous video background.Oh shit. This changes everything...

They should be after the Web server crap on Macs from July and the security around that access.Zoom's very security conscious (Fed Ramp Moderate, Soc2, GDPR, etc )and we have most of the Fortune 100 using Zoom including HSBC, Walmart, Capital One and very big financial firms in NYC who moved over from Cisco or Microsoft very recently.
They beat the crap out of our product to make sure it's safe. You're fine
Sorry, I slept all weekend (literally)
Webex has these types of issues all the time too but you're right, we need to do better.They should be after the Web server crap on Macs from July and the security around that access.
We're a huge WebEx shop because we're a big Cisco shop, but if I had my choice it would be Zoom.
GoToMeeting and Skype can go die in a fire. I'd rather get COVID-19 than have to use Skype for a year.
Zoom will work with even 45% packet loss so you know what I'm going to recommend.What is the best way to video conference with a doctor? Skype? Other? (Just thinking ahead.)
And they're trying to push Skype into Teams, which is an even bigger dumpster fire.They should be after the Web server crap on Macs from July and the security around that access.

Sorry you are right. Teams is the worst. I try to avoid it at all costs.And they're trying to push Skype into Teams, which is an even bigger dumpster fire.
For all MS has done well the past few years their video/comms stuff is an unmitigated disaster.
Dumpster fire that it is, Teams is much less of a dumpster fire than Skype for Business. I'm unfortunately forced to use them at work. We've been using Teams a lot with the work from home shift, and it's been much better. Skype for Business frequently eats messages. It pops up a notification, and then no message anywhere to be found. It decides to send one to my phone and the next to my desktop in seemingly random order.And they're trying to push Skype into Teams, which is an even bigger dumpster fire.

Teams is much better for chat but not for video. Most companies I deal with, use it mostly for file management and persistent chat.Dumpster fire that it is, Teams is much less of a dumpster fire than Skype for Business.

At least Teams has a native Linux client, and I actually get messages and notifications.
Ain't that the truth. I do a LOT of remote meetings/presentations as part of my job, and have used almost all conferencing software at one time or another. We tried Skype for about a month (a couple years ago) and noped our way out that quick. Still, sometimes customer require that we use THEIR conferencing software for these sessions, and when I get a Skype link, it fills me with dread. The number of Skype meetings that have gone without a hitch is dismally small.Dumpster fire that it is, Teams is much less of a dumpster fire than Skype for Business.
