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.
I've heard people say Google zoom call. 🤪
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.
Bo Burnham's "Welcome To The Internet" already suggested "start a rumor / do a Zoom or / send a death threat to a boomer."
