    Has ‘zoom’ become a generic term for video calling/conferencing? For example are people saying “let’s zoom later on Skype” ?

        I’m perhaps the worst zoomer to ask about zoomer stereotypes, but I haven’t noticed my generation doing that. I have noticed my parents doing it though, after the pandemic any app that can do video calls is either “zoom” or “teams” depending on who you ask

      Sometimes my boss will use mention “zoom” when scheduling a virtual meeting between us and clients, but we choose which platform we use and most of us don’t use zoom. So its sorta being used like that.

      I always hear people say “meets”, “FaceTime”, etc… Zoom is definitely the most popular but I wouldn’t consider a generic term.

      Bo Burnham’s “Welcome To The Internet” already suggested “start a rumor / do a Zoom or / send a death threat to a boomer.”
