Google Is Getting Into Video-Calling Hardware
Video calling has become utterly critical in 2020 due to the COVID-19 outbreak. The public health crisis has fundamentally altered how people communicate both personally and professionally. Zoom Video Communications (NASDAQ: ZM) has been the most visible winner of that secular shift, which has attracted competition from tech companies that had only previously dabbled in the space. That includes heavyweights like Facebook (NASDAQ: FB) and Alphabet (NASDAQ: GOOG) (NASDAQ: GOOGL) subsidiary Google.
Zoom has been pushing deeper into hardware, but mostly through integrations with third-party devices -- including Facebook Portals and Google Nest Hubs -- as opposed to making its own gear. Google has now decided to do just that.
