I also think, it doesn't work well for conferencing... Last/First time we used it, the annotation tool just stopped updating, colleague was drawing and I was: "I don't see anything" (and then everyone: yeah me too). Also I'm wondering, why it send the "foreign" screen in fusll res (WQHD), but at a measly 4 fps with crappy compression...
After this my personal impression is that it is just an obtrusive piece od adware, which happens to behave like a rootkit in some parts...

“Everyone in the banking industry has blocked Zoom” was my qualifier.
The U.K. even held a cabinet meeting over Zoom.
There’s a lot more than schoolwork taking place on Zoom unfortunately.
That’s the the point though: Zoom doesn’t “work well” if you include basic security as a required part of “working.”
Zoom using ECB mode for encryption, and transmitting keys to China says everything. They just don’t care about security at all.
Everyone in the banking industry I work with has blocked or banned Zoom for longer than COVID-19 has been around. Microsoft Teams seems to be the new Default choice, if only because everyone is using office365 already and anything is better than WebEx.
