# Zoom

Eric Yuan, 2011. Still the link in the invite from someone outside your company.

## Why it lasted
- It just worked when the others did not. 2020 turned that into a verb.
- Enterprise remains, even when the kitchen table does not.

## Near deaths
- Security clown years (zoombombing). They patched, branded, and kept the meetings.
- Teams, Meet, and FaceTime for the casual slot. Zoom kept the 'external meeting' slot.

## What would finish it
- The calendar default becoming Meet or Teams everywhere, plus a post-pandemic hangover that never stops. Slow bleed, not a tombstone.
