Sector / Main Business Area
Zoom Video Communications is an American communications technology company famous for its cloud-based videoconferencing and online chat services. It is NOT to be confused with Zoom Technologies (which is a Boston-based networking equipment manufacturer). You may laugh, but investors got it tragically wrong when they invested in the wrong Zoom early on in the coronavirus outbreak and sent the share price (mistakenly) through the roof!
