[Sign up here](https://www.foxnews.com/newsletters/coronavirus). After the [coronavirus](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/coronavirus) pandemic hit, cities and states started implementing [stay-at-home](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/lifestyle) orders and social distancing practices -- which led to an increase in [online communication](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/digital). Not surprisingly, people turned to [Zoom](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/tech) for work meetings, [distance learning](https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/teachers-surviving-coronavirus-distance-learning) and personal calls to catch up with friends and loved ones. However, the spike in users also showed the weaknesses in the platform, particularly with “Zoombombing,” when a hacker hijacks a video call. [ZOOM CEO’S CORONAVIRUS QUARANTINE ROUTINE INCLUDES MEDITATION, NONSTOP MEETINGS](https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-quarantine-routine-coronavirus) The company has faced scrutiny from [state](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zooms-privacy-concerns-amid-coronavirus-boom-prompts-us-ags-to-ask-questions) and [federal lawmakers](https://www.businessinsider.com/senate-warns-against-zoom-2020-4), saying Zoom should have anticipated those security threats. In response, Zoom created a 90-day plan to strengthen its privacy, which included the [acquisition of encryption startup Keybase](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-acquires-keybase-security) on Thursday. Here’s what else you need to know about Zoom. ### What is Zoom? Zoom is a video-conferencing [app](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/apps) that allows people to collaborate across devices with audio and video. The company was founded in 2011 by [Eric Yuan](https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-quarantine-routine-coronavirus) and launched its [IPO](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/stocks) in April 2019 at [\$36 per share](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/money). [ZOOM ACQUIRES ENCRYPTION STARTUP IN CORONAVIRUS SECURITY PUSH](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-acquires-keybase-security) Yuan was inspired to create Zoom because he hated traveling, he told [Thrive Global](https://medium.com/thrive-global/the-inspiring-backstory-of-eric-s-yuan-founder-and-ceo-of-zoom-98b7fab8cacc) in 2017. “I first envisioned Zoom when I was a freshman in college in China and regularly took a 10-hour train ride to visit my girlfriend (who is now my wife),” he told the technology company. “I detested those rides and used to imagine other ways I could visit my girlfriend without traveling — those daydreams eventually became the basis for Zoom.” Yuan is still the [CEO](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/business-leaders) of the San Jose, California-based company, which has 1,300 [employees](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/jobs), according to [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/companies/zoom-video-communications/#22c254be483c). ### How many people use Zoom? Last week, Zoom announced it had [reached 300 million active daily participants](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-300-million-participants-coronavirus-security) during the coronavirus -- up from 10 million daily participants a few months prior. [![As Zoom use has increased during coronavirus and social distancing, ‘Zoombombing’ has become a major issue. FOX Business’ Jackie DeAngelis with more.](http://media.foxbusiness.com/BrightCove/854081161001/202004/2122/854081161001_6147460030001_6147467168001-vs.jpg) Video](http://video.foxbusiness.com/v/6147467168001) However, the announcement was a correction. Zoom had previously said it reached 300 million active daily users but corrected the “genuine oversight” a week later. "We are humbled and proud to help over 300 million daily meeting participants stay connected during this pandemic,” the company said in a statement. “We want to be clear: this was first announced in our April 22 webinar as 300 million daily participants by our CEO Eric Yuan.” [GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE](https://foxbusiness.onelink.me/Zkcx?pid=AppArticleLink&af_dp=foxbusinesssaf%3A%2F%2F&af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxbusiness.com%2Fapps-products) ### How much does Zoom cost? Zoom has several plans that users can purchase, but there is also a free basic version that limits calls to 40 minutes. For longer calls and other improved features, plans cost \$15 a month per host or \$20 a month per host, according to the [website](https://zoom.us/pricing). ### How much money does Zoom make? According to a report from [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2019/04/19/zoom-zoom-zoom-the-exclusive-inside-story-of-the-new-billionaire-behind-techs-hottest-ipo/#65624c6c4af1) last year, Zoom had annual revenue of \$331 million. In March, [The Financial Times](https://www.ft.com/content/b1f04fce-5fc6-11ea-b0ab-339c2307bcd4) reported that the company was valued at \$35 billion. \| Ticker \| Security \| Last \| Change \| Change % \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| [ZM](https://www.foxbusiness.com/quote?stockTicker=ZM) \| ZOOM COMMUNICATIONS INC. \| 75\.99 \| \+1.03 \| \+1.37% \| \| Powered By \| \| \| \| \| [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS](https://www.foxbusiness.com/) ## Market Futures DOW JONES FUTURES (I:DJI) 47,026.00 \-13.00 (-0.03%) NASDAQ FUTURES (I:COMPX) 24,829.50 \+34.00 (+0.14%) S\&P 500 FUTURES (INX) 6,723.00 \+1.25 (+0.02%) Market Update sponsored by Advertisement Advertisement Advertisement ![Fox News First](https://static.foxnews.com/foxnews.com/content/uploads/2023/09/532x120-NEWSLETTER_BIZ-Rundown.png) Arrives Weekly Get Our Newsletter Get a brief on the top business stories of the week, plus CEO interviews, market updates, tech and money news that matters to you.

After the [coronavirus](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/coronavirus) pandemic hit, cities and states started implementing [stay-at-home](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/lifestyle) orders and social distancing practices -- which led to an increase in [online communication](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/digital). Not surprisingly, people turned to [Zoom](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/tech) for work meetings, [distance learning](https://www.foxbusiness.com/lifestyle/teachers-surviving-coronavirus-distance-learning) and personal calls to catch up with friends and loved ones. However, the spike in users also showed the weaknesses in the platform, particularly with “Zoombombing,” when a hacker hijacks a video call. [ZOOM CEO’S CORONAVIRUS QUARANTINE ROUTINE INCLUDES MEDITATION, NONSTOP MEETINGS](https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-quarantine-routine-coronavirus) The company has faced scrutiny from [state](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zooms-privacy-concerns-amid-coronavirus-boom-prompts-us-ags-to-ask-questions) and [federal lawmakers](https://www.businessinsider.com/senate-warns-against-zoom-2020-4), saying Zoom should have anticipated those security threats. In response, Zoom created a 90-day plan to strengthen its privacy, which included the [acquisition of encryption startup Keybase](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-acquires-keybase-security) on Thursday. Here’s what else you need to know about Zoom. ### What is Zoom? Zoom is a video-conferencing [app](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/apps) that allows people to collaborate across devices with audio and video. The company was founded in 2011 by [Eric Yuan](https://www.foxbusiness.com/business-leaders/zoom-ceo-eric-yuan-quarantine-routine-coronavirus) and launched its [IPO](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/stocks) in April 2019 at [\$36 per share](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/money). [ZOOM ACQUIRES ENCRYPTION STARTUP IN CORONAVIRUS SECURITY PUSH](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-acquires-keybase-security) Yuan was inspired to create Zoom because he hated traveling, he told [Thrive Global](https://medium.com/thrive-global/the-inspiring-backstory-of-eric-s-yuan-founder-and-ceo-of-zoom-98b7fab8cacc) in 2017. “I first envisioned Zoom when I was a freshman in college in China and regularly took a 10-hour train ride to visit my girlfriend (who is now my wife),” he told the technology company. “I detested those rides and used to imagine other ways I could visit my girlfriend without traveling — those daydreams eventually became the basis for Zoom.” Yuan is still the [CEO](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/business-leaders) of the San Jose, California-based company, which has 1,300 [employees](https://www.foxbusiness.com/category/jobs), according to [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/companies/zoom-video-communications/#22c254be483c). ### How many people use Zoom? Last week, Zoom announced it had [reached 300 million active daily participants](https://www.foxbusiness.com/technology/zoom-300-million-participants-coronavirus-security) during the coronavirus -- up from 10 million daily participants a few months prior. However, the announcement was a correction. Zoom had previously said it reached 300 million active daily users but corrected the “genuine oversight” a week later. "We are humbled and proud to help over 300 million daily meeting participants stay connected during this pandemic,” the company said in a statement. “We want to be clear: this was first announced in our April 22 webinar as 300 million daily participants by our CEO Eric Yuan.” [GET FOX BUSINESS ON THE GO BY CLICKING HERE](https://foxbusiness.onelink.me/Zkcx?pid=AppArticleLink&af_dp=foxbusinesssaf%3A%2F%2F&af_web_dp=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.foxbusiness.com%2Fapps-products) ### How much does Zoom cost? Zoom has several plans that users can purchase, but there is also a free basic version that limits calls to 40 minutes. For longer calls and other improved features, plans cost \$15 a month per host or \$20 a month per host, according to the [website](https://zoom.us/pricing). ### How much money does Zoom make? According to a report from [Forbes](https://www.forbes.com/sites/alexkonrad/2019/04/19/zoom-zoom-zoom-the-exclusive-inside-story-of-the-new-billionaire-behind-techs-hottest-ipo/#65624c6c4af1) last year, Zoom had annual revenue of \$331 million. In March, [The Financial Times](https://www.ft.com/content/b1f04fce-5fc6-11ea-b0ab-339c2307bcd4) reported that the company was valued at \$35 billion. \| Ticker \| Security \| Last \| Change \| Change % \| \|---\|---\|---\|---\|---\| \| [ZM](https://www.foxbusiness.com/quote?stockTicker=ZM) \| ZOOM COMMUNICATIONS INC. \| 75\.99 \| \+1.03 \| \+1.37% \| \| Powered By \| \| \| \| \| [CLICK HERE TO READ MORE ON FOX BUSINESS](https://www.foxbusiness.com/)
