Is anyone here boycotting use of Zoom? I have a few clients that ask me to use it and I'm trying to think up a good response as to why I don't have it installed. For those of you that have rejected it on principle, what are you all saying?
Work insists on Microsoft Teams now. Oh well. At least I am only probably being spied on by the "good guys" now, right?
If it's a client I have a comfortable relationship with, I'll tell them honestly why I won't use it.
If not, I tell them "I can never get Zoom to work on my computer" or something similar, and provide an alternative.
