Me too; but for now zoom is simply the best product in the video chat space.
Everyone else seems to be betting the farm on webrtc and web browsers. But video meetings in chrome or Firefox don’t look or sound as good as zoom does. And Google Meet and the rest are at the mercy of web standards. Its much easier for zoom to add features to their product because they’re in control of the entire stack.
I hope the situation changes, but I think it’ll be several years before browsers are able to meaningfully catch up to where zoom is today.
