I have no experience with the application myself, but Zoom has had a lot of bad 
publicity lately. Basically they steal, use and sell every bit of information 
they can get there hands on from your applience, with or without your consent. 
So if you value your privacy don't use Zoom...

Bye, Wilfred.
