| Zoom offers messaging and calendar services |
At a Zoomtopia customer conference on Tuesday, Zoom announced a beta version of its email and calendar software to grow its business.
Zoom, one of the biggest beneficiaries of the coronavirus pandemic in 2020 and 2021, grew by 369% in the third quarter of 2021, but this did not continue as restrictions were lifted during the pandemic and in the second quarter of 2022, the company estimated growth of 8% Just.
The company has been trying to grow its business lately, realizing that focusing its business solely on video conferencing is not good for it. Now I decided to expand into email and calendar.
"With Zoom Mail and Zoom Calendar, users no longer need to leave the Zoom platform to access their email and calendar," the company said in a statement. "Popular email and calendar services are integrated directly into Zoom, which means users can quickly access their contacts and schedules and get work done more efficiently," she added.
Zoom has announced that its email and calendar services will allow users to customize domains and end-to-end encryption. She explained that the hosted Zoom service would not look like Google's Gmail, but rather would look more like a private platform with a small group of people exchanging emails.
This should help reduce spam and annoying emails to a great extent as only a few people are able to access the platform.
For users of Google Gmail and Microsoft Outlook, the new mail and calendar services are free for users of free and paid video conferencing services. For those who want Zoom to handle it all, it will be available as part of a Zoom One Pro subscription or a higher subscription plan at no additional cost.
Notably, Zoom has announced not only messaging and calendar services, but a new service called Zoom Spots, a virtual workspace within Zoom that will launch in early 2023.
The company explains that it is a stable and integrated visual communication space within the Zoom platform, designed to help enrich exchanges between colleagues as if they were working in a real office, where no employee interacts with others at the same time as colleagues can work. .
