Could Zoom’s business be at risk because of a single missing concept?
No question that the meetinglist concept you propose would help some users, and would likely not harm any, provided it does not become the only way to reference a meeting. As you point out, from Zoom’s point of view, I can see that there would be definite benefits, in gently tying users to that particular platform. But users don’t always get to pick their platforms.
For my use, in a daily workflow where I don’t drive every gathering, I do need to be able to hop onto a Teams meeting, a WebEx call, a scheduled telephone call and even an occasional gathering in a real meeting room, with no electronic sharing, I will always need a way to reference meetings outside of any particular meeting platform. My Outlook calendar represents many appointments and other reminders in my day, not nearly all of them happen over Zoom.
@annette: Yes, good point. Maybe some much more fluid kind of calendar integration is possible? Perhaps a richer data detector concept so that all these meeting ids could be recognized and easily opened without needing calendar events, or going through a URL in the browser.
