One ingenious feature on Zoom that drove a large number of users towards it was that hundreds of participants can be together on a video call on it. This feature has made it extremely convenient for users to conduct large meetings online. Distances have decreased without reducing functionality and thus the commercial world has also adopted Zoom.
