Terrible OAuth implementation... sometimes exposing you to phishing, but wow did they put a lot of work into their platform. They have Fedora RPMs, Debian .deb's, a chrome app, a web client, android and iOS apps... it's truly impressive how complete their lineup is.
According to several experts, Zoom has major security vulnerabilities. (https://protonmail.com/blog/zoom-privacy-issues/) Zoom allows your boss to track your attention during calls, shares the copious amounts of data it collects with third parties, and has already had a major security vulnerability. Zoom does not use end-to-end encryption, but only uses transport layer security (TLS) encryption. And online trolls have also taken advantage of default Zoom settings to “Zoombomb,” public conference calls and disrupt them. Also (https://gbhackers.com/zoom-vulnerability/)
Is there an alternative to Zoom that does screen sharing where you can also share your computer's audio (audio sharing, like Zoom does)?
Zoom is a standout video conferencing platform that has redefined the way we connect and collaborate remotely. Its seamless and user-friendly interface makes scheduling and joining meetings effortless, enhancing communication across teams and businesses. The high-quality video and audio ensure clear and reliable conversations, even in large virtual gatherings. Zoom's innovative features like breakout rooms, screen sharing, and virtual backgrounds enhance the overall meeting experience, making it engaging and interactive. Its cross-platform compatibility and reliable performance make Zoom a go-to choice for virtual meetings and webinars, making remote collaboration feel remarkably close and connected.

I like Zoom because it helped me a lot to stay in touch with other students and professors without having to meet them in person!
Zoom is just horrible. There are two awesome Open source alternatives that run on many servers and protect your privacy... And there is Zoom.
You literally give some dubious newcomer tech giant in the US the rights to record your face, apply background filters (i.e. run AI over the video) and more. You have no idea what they do with your data, as it is on their servers, you have no control.
AAAnd they watermark every stupid recording with their logo.
Use BigBlueButton or Jitsi, trust me.
