What after Zoom? After privacy concerns, what alternatives people have

The Covid-19 outbreak has fundamentally changed people’s relationship with others and the outside world. Not just that, the global pandemic is also slowly changing people’s usage of the internet. From conference calls to video chats, chat apps have become a necessary tool in the reconfigured social structure around the world.

Zoom’s video conferencing app gained popularity as the app seemed exceptionally well prepared for a pandemic-like situation, with its usage booming in the past few weeks. Zoom was being used by millions not only for work, but also for social gatherings, cultural events, etc. The app allowed up to 100 people on a call and up to 500 if you paid for an expanded version.
