It is discovered that Zoom has corrected the official notation that 'there are 300 million users per day', and suspicion that exaggerated notation emerged
It was discovered that Zoom had corrected the announcement on April 22, 2020 that 'the number of users per day exceeded 300 million people'. It is pointed out that the 'user' in the revised announcement is actually an error of 'conference participant', and Zoom has exaggerated the number of users by using an index far from the number of users.
Zoom admits it doesn't have 300 million users, corrects misleading claims-The Verge
In its announcement on April 22, 2020, Zoom announced 'Zoom Surpasses 300M Daily Users (the number of users per day exceeds 300 million).' Below are the announcements stored in the web archive .
However, Zoom amended this notation on April 24th as 'Zoom Surpasses 300M Daily Meeting Participants' (the number of conference users per day exceeded 300 million).
'Number of users' and 'Number of conference users' are completely different indexes. Because, when one user participates in multiple meetings in one day, the number of meeting users is counted multiple times . For example, if a user participates in 5 Zoom conferences per day, the number of users will be counted as '1', but the number of conference users will be counted as '5'.
It was IT Venezue, a news site, that noticed that Zoom corrected the notation. 'Counting only the number of conference users is a misleading way to make the number of platform users appear larger than it really is,' said The Verge. When The Verge asked Zoom for comments, Zoom said, 'We're proud to help more than 300 million conference attendees stay in touch each day during this pandemic. April 22 In the blog post of the day, I unintentionally described 'conference user' as 'user' or 'person', but when I noticed a mistake, I corrected it to 'conference participant'. It was a pure oversight. '
Within the new coronavirus pandemic, demand for video conferencing tools like Zoom is growing rapidly. However, Zoom has many security concerns.
