During the COVID-19 pandemic, Zoom has become very popular for working from home, attending school from home, and online social relationships. It has also been criticized by people concerned about privacy and surveillance.

In 2020, Zoom added new features for accessibility, like better closed captions and video window adjustments. They also launched OnZoom, a platform for hosting free and paid virtual events. In 2022, Zoom released Zoom One, an all-in-one tool for video calls, chat, phone calls, and tasks.
