Don't miss in there:

"We’ve decided to end-of-life (EOL) Twilio Programmable Video as a standalone product. Given it’s such a niche area and a relatively small part of our portfolio, we believe partnering with video industry leaders is the best way to ensure long-term product innovation for our customers. Removing Programmable Video from our portfolio will also allow Communications to more effectively focus on our pillar products - Messaging, Voice, and Email."

Interestingly our company was already looking at moving from Twilio to Zoom and they recommended that in their email.

Have you done any comparisons between other competitors?

No not really, but since the news dropped we're starting to get into conversations about it, will be doing some research on other WebRTC providers soon.

How did you end up on/hear about Zoom?

I am in a bubble with Pion. Open Source devs from different companies all are chatting/contributing to projects/doing talks. Zoom isn't active so assumed all they had was a conferencing offering.
