> zoom.com is an audio equipment manufacturer

False, the audio equipment manufacturer uses: https://zoomcorp.com/

The https://zoom.com domain shows content from the video chat platform.

They did buy zoom.com from someone in 2019, though, for $2M.

Interesting. I used to buy Zoom modems in the 80s-90s (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zoom_Telephonics), but apparently they have nothing to do with either of the other two Zoom companies mentioned here. I had occasionally wondered but never looked into it until now.

Back in the day, wasn't it either Zoom or Hayes?

Don't forget US Robotics
