The Zoom calls began Sunday when over 44,000 Black women got on a call to hype supporters for Harris’ historic run for president. That call attracted attention from celebrities such as actresses Yvette Nicole Brown and Jennifer Lewis, resulting in more than $1.5 million being raised for the Harris campaign. The movement continued with another call featuring 50,000 Black men, followed by hype-fundraiser Zooms for white women, LGBTQ+ people, South Asian supporters and so on.
The call for white women Harris supporters Thursday night gathered around 100,000 participants, testing the limits of Zoom as the call dropped in and out. Those kicked off the Zoom chose to watch the live stream on YouTube, where over 25,000 supporters also joined the call, the Hollywood Reporter explained.
Was it showing more on the app?
Several of the panels showed duplicate attendees, the exact same people in different panels at different time clips so they weren’t synced.
This is how Zoom works. The call was dropping in and out, and participants are shown in the order of when they joined or rejoined.
So… People just participating.
Huh. I didn’t hear about that. Can you provide a source?
