>Zoom is objectively a good software solution but being de facto forced to install yet another piece of software just to take business meetings has left a sour taste in my mouth.
No kidding. I can't tell conferencing clients apart anymore. I have the following installed: GotoMeeting, WebEX, JoinMe, Zoom, Hangouts Meet, BlueJeans and every other week I'll get invited to a meeting hosted by yet another one (last week someone hosted a meeting with one called 'ringcentral'). They are all about the same, and I can't tell them apart anymore.
