    Has ‘zoom’ become a generic term for video calling/conferencing? For example are people saying “let’s zoom later on Skype” ?

      Might be a thing with zoomers

        I’m perhaps the worst zoomer to ask about zoomer stereotypes, but I haven’t noticed my generation doing that. I have noticed my parents doing it though, after the pandemic any app that can do video calls is either “zoom” or “teams” depending on who you ask

          Idk. I’m technically a zoomer as well and all video calling services are Skype to me

      I hear FaceTime used more generically than Zoom (for mobile video chat)

      I always hear people say “meets”, “FaceTime”, etc… Zoom is definitely the most popular but I wouldn’t consider a generic term.

      Sometimes my boss will use mention “zoom” when scheduling a virtual meeting between us and clients, but we choose which platform we use and most of us don’t use zoom. So its sorta being used like that.
