[NFBF-L] Fwd: Zoom Is a Nightmare. So Why Is Everyone Still Using It? | Simon Pitt in OneZero

Tue Apr 14 13:09:35 UTC 2020

My post was not about the ease of use of Zoom.  Zoom is very easy to use.  No matter what technology it is, if I see that people have security concerns with it, I’m going to point them out.  I am looking at alternatives to Zoom such as Skype and Microsoft Teams.  It is good for people to be informed and not to just have a herd mentality.

Yes, they have had some security concerns, but what application that has the ability to house 1000 users is going to truly be devoid of security risk. Some people don't really have anything to do, so they spend their time creating scams and hacks. The world has been like that for ages. I think some blind people just are a little afraid of change, so learning something like Zoom is scary for them. There are great tutorials out there, and even a book written. It works well on the computer and phone, and again I'm just not sure what all the fuss is about really.

For the NFB and other blind people and organizations, or at least people who don't care about video, there are plenty of alternatives that can work across PCs, Mac, phones, Chromebooks, even phones. It would take about half an hour to set up, maybe more to enhance the integration of components.
