Sorry, Zuckerberg, the Metaverse Won't Replace Zoom (The Rude Baguette)

In a world where remote work is fast evolving, and acceptance is becoming widespread, Will Metaverse get to replace zoom? Here's our opinion.

This offering is an “experience and impact offering for virtual worlds.” Essentially, it’s a set of offerings that include a studio and innovation space to help educate, inspire, accelerate, and execute on client goals for the Metaverse.” And might become a hindrance to Metaverse’s quest to replace Zoom. Rather, its new staff used [AltSpace VR](https://altvr.com/), an app from Microsoft Corp, for training and new-hire orientation. The institution is, however, seeking ways to use VR for its meetings. The technology once designed for a small group is now shifting to broader use for the everyday home, work, and play. The bank said it considered problems like user experience and network security. However, in 6 years, Workplace has only amassed 7 million paid users, way behind the 270 million users using Microsoft Teams monthly or over 20 million users using Slack. At best, VR can be better utilized for fun and creating relationships. It’s a “real-time, photorealistic holographic interaction that goes beyond video conferencing for a truly immersive experience.” [Google’s Project Starline](https://blog.google/technology/research/project-starline/) is also designed to “combine advances in hardware and software to enable friends, families, and coworkers to feel together, even when they’re countries or cities apart.” [Deloitte](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en.html) has equally announced its [Unlimited Reality offering](https://www2.deloitte.com/us/en/pages/about-deloitte/articles/press-releases/deloitte-launches-unlimited-reality-services.html). The platform claimed it to be “the richest collaboration experience yet. So, we’re going to need better tools to work together. While it may seem like a far-off reality, Metaverse is closer than we think.

Zoom would like to remind you that it's a many-trick pony (Fast Company)

It's nice to be synonymous with a product category. But Zoom CEO Eric Yuan says that expanding on its video-calling ubiquity is both an opportunity and a ...

But to simplify is so hard.” From hybrid-work refinements to metaverse transformations, what the company adds in the years ahead will matter—but preserving that simplicity is critical to keeping the Zoom of tomorrow feeling like Zoom. Last year, it [announced a collaboration with Meta—](https://www.oculus.com/blog/zoom-meets-virtual-reality-announcing-zooms-collaboration-with-horizon-workrooms/)yes, this time the company formerly known as Facebook—to let Quest headset users attend Zoom meetings from within Meta’s Horizon Workrooms VR interface. In the case of Microsoft Teams—a rival to both Zoom and Slack—that suite is Microsoft 365. Yuan appears game to see how it could disrupt Zoom in its current form: “I think that video calls and AR, VR, and the metaverse eventually will converge into one thing,” he predicts. [Zoom fatigue](https://www.fastcompany.com/90608399/4-types-of-zoom-fatigue-and-how-to-combat-them). And [Zoom IQ for Sales](https://blog.zoom.us/zoom-iq-for-sales/)uses AI to assess salespeople’s interactions with customers. [Zoom Rooms](https://www.fastcompany.com/90600582/zoom-rooms-touchless-covid-19-new-features), it offers everything from a virtual receptionist to the ability to reserve a desk. [Zoom Contact Center](https://blog.zoom.us/introducing-zoom-contact-center/)is a customer service platform that does voice, chat, and text messaging as well as video. [Zoom Events](https://blog.zoom.us/zoom-events-virtual-experiences/)is for large-scale virtual gatherings, from internal all-hands sessions to ticketed affairs open to the public. (Don’t feel guilty if you didn’t know that the videoconferencing product we think of as Zoom is really named Zoom Meetings—I didn’t until I wrote this article.) But it’s all dependent on customers having an open mind about what exactly Zoom is—and the company delivering additional products that are worthy of the foundation it’s built with videoconferencing. Thanks to its bacon-saving ubiquity during the COVID-19 pandemic, Zoom really is in the rarefied company of Google and Photoshop—products so synonymous with their categories that they’ve transcended mere nounhood.

Zoom Is Taking on Slack and Teams With Zoom Team Chat (WebProNews)

Zoom is looking to take on the top dogs in the corporate messaging space with a rebranding of its own messaging platform.

“As of today, we are officially renaming it Zoom Team Chat, to usher in the future of persistent messaging and further enhance teamwork and collaboration. A notice in the chat or channel “compose” message box even identifies when an external user is present.” The latest step in that direction is renaming its separate collaboration platform from Zoom Chat to Zoom Teams Chat. “Team Chat brings together messaging, file sharing, third-party integrations, video, voice, and whiteboard in one place to simplify how you collaborate,” Pelosi adds. As the pandemic has waned, the company has been looking to build on its success and use that to gain a bigger share of the business communication market. Zoom became a household name as a result of the pandemic, expanding far beyond its enterprise roots.

Zoom focused on simplicity for A/NZ partners (Reseller News)

Zoom is harnessing channel opportunity in A/NZ and hopes to 'keep things simple' for its partners in the video communications platform's ecosystem.

“It’s about how different modes of communication can now integrate together,” Allen added. The reseller motion allows a reseller partner to own an invoicing element and additional services down to the end customer, and the referral-based motion allows partners to work from a consultancy or “less-traditional” IT landscape to identify an opportunity for the Zoom sales team to work on, Allen said. “In A/NZ specifically we're looking at who are the partners that we're partnering with and how we're working with them and aligning with them as closely as we can”, she continued. Allen is focused on “really making sure that our partners understand how the program works, how we align our partners with our internal sales teams as well, and how we work with our partners to build out customer demand, build out opportunity and to recognise the profit opportunities that they can make in partnering with zoom around additional services, hardware, development and so forth.” “It’s a single license for an end-user that provides them the chat function, that can be escalated into a voice call, that can seamlessly then be escalated into a video call, that can be escalated into a meetings room environment.” [also recently promoted](https://www.reseller.co.nz/article/699077/zoom-promotes-ashley-allen-new-nz-channel-sales-leader/), added that in A/NZ specifically, the focus is on rolling out channel market opportunity by “looking and qualifying for the right partners to work with and to build successful partnerships with them.”

Zoom Takes on Microsoft Teams With New Team Chat (Tech.co)

Zoom has made a slight change to the name of its communications platform and added a number of new features for users.

With change so slight, whether this will remedy the confusion between the company's two distinct but interoperable products is anyone's guess. Slack has over 10 million users and is particularly popular among high-revenue businesses, with almost According to reports, the idea to change the name arose due to users consistently confusing Zoom Team Chat (the collaboration and communication product) with the chat function you can use during Zoom meetings.

Zoom Phone Local Survivability: Zoom Phone's Hybrid Moment (No Jitter)

The hybrid office conversation needs to extend to resilient architecture. Zoom's first hybrid workload addresses this need.

During normal Zoom Phone operations, Zoom Phone clients and devices connect to Zoom Phone in the cloud and locally to the ZPLS module. ZPLS is effectively a native Zoom cloud service, or more specifically of the Zoom node in the Zoom cloud. Regardless of size, the price to run a module is $400 per module per month. The ZPLS modules are managed by the Zoom cloud. The ZPLS module essentially becomes Zoom Phone ‘in-a-box.’ The ZPLS module will maintain intra-site Zoom Phone calling (station-to-station). “Cloud outages” can and do occur everywhere including the local router, last mile, in the broader network, or at Zoom’s data centers. Should the connection to the Zoom Phone cloud fail, the local module takes over. The design intent of Zoom Node is to give customers more control over the availability and usage of Zoom services. The larger module requires 16 vCPUs and supports up to 5000 users. The smaller configuration is designed for up to 2000 Zoom Phone users and requires 8 virtual CPUs. The Zoom Phone module, or ZPLS, is designed to provide seamless failover of services, regional compliance, and/or bandwidth optimization. More applications in the Zoom suite are expected to also leverage the Zoom Node framework.
