Zoom's Daily Active Users Surged to 200 Million in March... and That's Part of the Problem

Zoom Video (NASDAQ: ZM), the popular video conferencing platform, has seen its usage skyrocket amid the COVID-19 pandemic as hundreds of millions of people are sheltering in place, working from home, and trying to manage distance learning while schools are closed. 

In a Wednesday blog post addressing "Zoombombing" and other security issues, co-founder and CEO Eric Yuan noted that in March, Zoom the number of daily meeting participants on the platform -- both free and paid -- topped 200 million.
