Zoom is the powerhouse app for video calls, offering seamless meetings, webinars, and chat tools that bridge distances for work, school, and hangouts alike. Founded by an engineer tired of glitchy conferencing, it skyrocketed from a startup to a global staple, especially when the world went remote overnight. Interestingly, it's branched into AI companions and event hosting, making it feel like your personal teleporter – minus the sci-fi side effects. Who knew pixelated faces could spark such connections?
Zoom amps up the woke factor with DEI programs pushing diversity hires, vibrant Pride events for LGBTQ allyship, donations backing BIPOC groups in a BLM-inspired nod, and comprehensive ESG strategies on sustainability and ethics – as if every virtual background hides a virtue signal.
