Zoom CEO says Zoom meetings hinder innovation and debate, wants employees back in the office
The irony is not lost on us.
Zoom, the videoconferencing platform that profited substantially from remote work during the pandemic, is now asking employees to return to the office. Its CEO, Eric Yuan, claims Zoom meetings don't let people build trust or be innovative.
[...]
Yuan explained that trust is essential "for everything," and he finds it hard to build not only that but also innovation and debates over Zoom.
"Quite often, you come up with great ideas, but when we are all on Zoom, it's really hard," Yuan said, according to Insider. "We cannot have a great conversation. We cannot debate each other well because everyone tends to be very friendly when you join a Zoom call."
You're viewing a single thread.
Zoom needs to implement whiteboards and people need to be issued digitizing pens/tables so they can draw diagrams freely
Zoom has had a whiteboard since multiple years... But yeah, issuing tablets would make that feature more productive.
Zoom needs to be nuked from the orbit. It's the only way to be sure.
What an insightful comment.
Game over, man, GAME OVER!
It's not over until it's over. And it's not over yet.
Yup, they have whiteboards, which is the most kindergarten-level attempt to "increase trust, enable innovation and encourage robust debates". There is so much potential in this space. Check out these demos of Loomio for a glimpse:
