Due to the outbreak of COVID-19 lockdown has become mandatory for everyone. Many OTT platforms are seeing a big rise during this season. Also, many business works and educational lectures begin to carry out online. Communication apps like Zoom, Google Duo, Google Meet, etc are being used widely. Makers are of these apps are adding new features to make users use the app effortlessly.
Last week, the Government had announced that the Zoom app is not safe for the users. Also, ordered that Govt. officials should not use the app for official purposes. Many tech analysts have also shared their views about Zoom app security services. Now Zoom has crossed 300 million users globally. Compared to last month the users had increased to 50%. Last month the total number of users was 200million. Surprisingly it had only 10 million users at the end of 2019.
Zoom CEO Eric Yuan says “Clearly the Zoom platform is providing an incredibly valuable service to our beloved users during this challenging time. We are thrilled and honored to continue to earn the trust of so many enterprises, hospitals, teachers, and customers throughout the world”.
New Features:
Even though the security and privacy concerns are getting negative impact among tech analysts, but it has not stopped people from using this app. Also, Zoom has planned to release two new features this weekend. These new features will help Zoom users to host secure meetings and protect their data. The ‘AES 256-Bit GCM’ encryption support will provide more protection for meeting data and aversion to tampering.
Zoom officials say “Organizations will have access to GCM encryption with the release of Zoom 5.0, and system-wide account enablement will occur May 30, when all Zoom customers will switch to the new cryptographic mode”. The company had insisted all its workers to identify and fix the security issues. Users can now report to Zoom’s trust and safety team if they find any security issues. The team will then work on that issue and take appropriate actions.
