I just can't understand why Google, with all their different messaging apps, could not compete with Zoom at the beginning of the confinement. Same for Microsoft/Skype. With all their intellectual power they could not make a simple and enjoyable product like zoom did.

By the way it's the same for Slack. Microsoft had a wonderfull and enjoyable MSN service that they killed for the awful skype experience, and Slack take their chance. Slack is just a dumb chat board, it's like living in 2000, just with bigger upload possibilities. I feel there is something broken.

hard to trust Google with personal data, Zoom is lesser of two evils.
