Zoom is also relatively stable compared to other video call services -- unless your internet connection is wonky, it usually works smoothly. This is anecdotal evidence, but I've had fewer connection interruptions and lag issues using Zoom than other platforms, and have heard the same from my coworkers -- even as we approach the two-year mark of the pandemic.
The competition took notice. Soon after Zoom's rapid rise in the early days of the pandemic, on its video chat service Teams. The company's consumer chat service Skype also got a new free video chat feature called . Google began offering a free version of its enterprise video chat service Meet.

"Please don't ever become a stranger whose laugh I could recognize anywhere." (New Year's Day) -- This level of specificity is a vivid illustration of just how much she fears losing the love of her life.
Easy to use and consistently works A major reason for Zoom's success across businesses, schools and consumers is how easy it is to get started with the platform. Open the app and start a meeting, or join one through a link. You're automatically placed into the meeting interface, which is minimalistic and easy to use -- you'll see the buttons to turn your mic and camera on or off, and tabs for security, participants, chat, share screen, record, breakout rooms and reactions. And that's it. You don't have to deal with calendars or a difficult sign-up process.
One of the biggest benefits: You can use Zoom for free. Anyone can sign up for a free account and host up to 100 participants for up to 40-minute group meetings, or unlimited one-on-one meetings. If you're looking for more, you can upgrade to Pro ($15 per month for each license), Business ($20 per month per license) or Enterprise ($20 per month per license), all of which come with unlimited group meeting times and other features.

"So you were never a saint and I've loved in shades of wrong. We learn to live with the pain, mosaic broken hearts." (State of Grace) -- Love isn't always picturesque, but it can still be beautiful. (Yes, I realize I've now quoted State of Grace three times but I can't help it.)
Over the last year, Zoom has also added autogenerated captions for better accessibility, attendance status information for hosts, two-way chatting in the waiting room, more control to stop incoming video and optimization for the newer MacBook Pro. The meeting software also added games like pkv Poker and Kahoot.
"You kept me like a secret, but I kept you like an oath." (All Too Well, 10 Minute Version) -- This line succinctly illustrates the very different way two people can view the same relationship: One as something sacred and cherished, the other as something to keep hidden and downplay. That distinction can make all the difference.
Zoom looks like it's here to stay, even as the world hopes for more normalcy in 2022. It and other video chat platforms have enabled us to reconnect with people near and far when we didn't always do so in the past. And if we bring any new tradition forward with us into the unknowable future, we could do worse than to keep asking, "Are you free to Zoom?"
