JioMeet’s striking similarity to Zoom has Twitter users in fits

NEW DELHI: Telecom giant Reliance Jio’s recent deals spree has made it the talk of the town globally, but that also means its products and services are under closer scrutiny. Twitter erupted with reactions yesterday after the company brought its JioMeet video conferencing service out of beta. Users pointed out the similarity between the two platforms’ design, calling JioMeet a “rip-off” of rival and viral video conferencing platform, Zoom.

“The new JioMeet is a copy-paste of Zoom,” wrote security researcher Robert Baptiste, who goes by Elliot Alderson on Twitter. “Where are lakhs of crores being spent on?” Wrote another user, adding a screenshot of JioMeet and Zoom’s interfaces next to each other.
