Email by Zoom Would Be a Huge One for the Company
This move and development could put the company at the very same level as the likes of other big players in the industry such as Google and Microsoft which are currently acting as their closest rivals in the video calling industry. The company is set to host its Zoomtopia event in November, an event where the rumored services could be unveiled.
