      They always have had the opportunity. They accumulated so much user-share ever since COVID that they are the defacto video conferencing software. Same thing with Discord but people can’t let go of their treats so Palestinians looking for their family be damned.

          For schools and universities a lot of them use Zoom (and then a brief stint using Google Meets) at least in the US.

          They definitely broke into the mainstream once the pandemic hit with American schools and other institutions. Schools are great clients for nonfree software because you get to groom children into using your product which will carry on with them all through life (the Chromebook model).
