Of course, Zoom published a statement in a short time; A Message to Our Users. The article talks about the large number of users reached in a short time due to the developments;

To put this growth in context, as of the end of December last year, the maximum number of daily meeting participants, both free and paid, conducted on Zoom was approximately 10 million. In March this year, we reached more than 200 million daily meeting participants, both free and paid..."So what are the vulnerabilities in Zoom or what measures have been taken?

Eric Yuan, CEO of Zoom, gave the following answer;
" Thank you for your feedback! We implemented to balance the number of clicks given the limitations of the standard technology. To join a meeting from a Mac is not easy, that is why this method is used by Zoom and others. Your point is well taken and we will continue to improve."
