My take: Zoom is very approachable outside of enterprise. Skype (although historically has its roots with regular folks), is mostly used in a "Skype for Business" config. MS Teams is much the same way.

Good PR helps too, I suppose.

Skype for business has terrible UX. Traditional Skype works great for one-to-one, but can't handle a room full of people.

How does it fail to handle rooms of people? I ask because I’ve used consumer Skype to host a half dozen folks on two occasions in the past two weeks. Or is your definition of “room” larger than a mere six people?

We often run rooms of 200+ people in our organization, which zoom handles without issue. Skype however does not, in our experience.

We just did a zoom w/ 1,100+ different connections and it worked fine. I was pretty impressed.

So were the people who got all your data
