Demand for Microsoft, Google, and Zoom's Video Conferencing Software Surges Amid the Coronavirus Outbreak - Mar 11, 2020 at 1:58PM
"All that demand is prompting the tech companies to make it easier, and in some cases free, to use their software. Microsoft announced that Teams is now free to anyone with an email address.
Google said last week it's offering free access to its Hangouts Meet video conferencing service and all its G Suite and G Suite for Education collaboration platforms
Finally, Zoom has lifted the 40-minute limit on meetings for its users in China. The same courtesy is being extended to schools and universities in the U.S. upon request. Slack (NYSE:WORK) already offers a free tier, but the company is offering live Q&A and webinars to get the influx of new users up to speed. "

I think Microsoft can afford to give it away free
Sssshhh, don't tell MF, but 's been free for non-O365 subscribers for a long time
That's how they got more users than Slack
Google can afford to give G-suite away for free
At least until July 1
Sssshhh, don't tell MF, but Hangouts Meet video conferencing service was free to US & Canada for a long-time, but nice to offer the full suite
Zoom had a free version for a while, but lifting the 40 minute limit in China and schools if they ask for it.
Slack, slacking off, but they already had a free limited version
Zoom has a bit of a problem in that their PE ratio is now 1,289.61
Will all the hype and free users translate to paying customers? I don't know, but that is a mighty high ratio although salesforce is close to 1000 anyway
Slack stock popped up recently and going back down.
I'd like to see VERB stay the course. These companies are not their competition as VERB is is creating a new category. Partner when ready.
Sounds like resources are focused in on VERB Live that can be used as both a selling tool and webinar/learning
One two punch
Rome wasn't built in a day
Nor quarantined
This is our year...
