    Who says “zoom” as a verb? People say “video chat” or, more realistically, “facetime” for all video chats.

      I’ve heard a lot of people talk about “zoom meetings” when the meetings are actually held on google meet, or webx.

      I’ve used Zoom in previous companies to speak to clients, and have never heard anyone use it as a term for video calls. I have absolutely no idea where this has come from, but it’s definitely not true…

      No one I know would use facetime… That suggests using a phone for a business meeting. Bad angles, shakey image… very unprofessional.

      For a business meeting you need a computer which means we’re zooming, regardless of the platform

      Yeah, it seems like facetime would be more at risk for becoming generic. If it weren’t for Apple, that is.
