Video conferencing app Zoom to launch its email service: Report

Popular video conferencing app Zoom is planning to launch its own email service. The app is working the email service and calendar apps in a bid to expand as a software giant, Hindustan Times’ business publication Livemint quoted The Information.

According to the report, the service could be called Zmail and Zcal respectively. The app development is underway for the past two years and are expected to be announced during the company’s Zoomtopia conference in November this year.

After the Covid-19 pandemic hit the world, Zoom became a popular video conferencing platform across the world for holding meetings as people shifted to work from home mode. By launching its email service, Zoom seems to be bracing for a direct showdown with existing email providers like Gmail, Microsoft Outlook and Apple email.
