Zoom is not having a good month. As it scales to meet pandemic demand, it has been beset by security issues, which it has had to explain and fix. Today, The Verge reported that the company just changed a blog post, which had previously listed 300 million daily active users (DAUs) to active participants. The company says that figure was misrepresented by an employee
According to a company spokesperson, CEO Eric Yuan reported 300 million Zoom participants per day in webinar earlier this month. The company claims an employee then wrote a blog post interpreting that statement as DAUs and published it in the blog post the next day.
