The state of Zoom in 2026

By ShadowSpark326 · DISCUSSION · About Zoom

With all the competition in this space, where does Zoom stand heading into 2026? I think it still has strong fundamentals but the lack of innovation recently is concerning. The ecosystem is mature which is both a strength and a weakness. What do you all think about its future?

HappySpark80: I work in the industry and Zoom genuinely has one of the best engineering teams behind it. The attention to detail is clear when you use it daily.

EagerOwl7486: The real question is whether consumers even care about this.

CrystalScout894: This is the kind of honest review I wish there were more of. So tired of everything being a 5-star shill post. Good and bad, that's what we need.

NeonVibe275: Not sure I agree with the criticism here. Zoom has been reliable for me across multiple use cases. Maybe I just got lucky with my unit though.

StormNinja586: This deserves way more upvotes

ThunderPulse5561: Agreed. The industry needs a wake-up call.
