I watch a lot of Mutahar's content (SomeOrdinaryGamers) because I find him to be straight forward, knowledgable and doesn't tolerate BS. I very much like the cut of his jib.
With a lot of us stuck at home because of the current plague going around, Zoom has risen to prominence as a go-to application for video conferencing, and because of that, it's come under a lot of scrutiny by cyber-security firms, governments and ne'er-do-well hackers, which has revealed that their cybersecurity practices, business dealings with the Chinese Government leave much to be desired.
I'll leave you with my boy Muta to explain it a lot better then I ever could (warning though, he can be a little NSFW, so keep the kiddies away if they're nearby)
If you do have to use Zoom, at the very least, use a Virtual Machine like VMware Player or VirtualBox, use it only for zoom, then close it when you're done. If they start to use VM busting code or VM detection code; that's completely shady on their end and you should never use anything from them ever again.

Didn't trust Zoom to begin with anyway, saw this video though, it's a pretty good video.

Discord is being used for me, believe me - it's about as much fun as you would expect. We've had numerous issues with people being reported as absent because they weren't in a specific discord server. (I'm in three just for my course..)
I was in another college's discord but Three got me banned from that.

The two things that stuck out the most for me was the false claim that they used End-2-End encryption (using server-side generated keys instead of user-generated keys and storing those keys remotely, some on Chinese servers no less, instead of locally on users machines) and the fact that the OSX installer fakes a System Administrator Prompt in a manner that nearly all OSX malware/viruses do.
Pretty shady stuff.

To be fair, their teacher was absent, and there was no learning going on!

I was FORCED to use this yesterday for an assessment with my Psychiatrist or have to pay $100 for another appointment and $100 for cancelling it.
And I heard all about the problems/issues and I was very not comfortable using it, ESP when I saw that the password he had set for the meeting was literally ABC, oh and when I voiced my concerns, they basically said it was all FAKE NEWS.

As I have mentioned before, I am heading my company's department of Cyber Security and this came to my attention last week as well. Luckily we don't use Zoom and have company-wide blocked all chat and video-chat applications not specifically approved by IT. So no problem for us, but hoh boy... I wouldn't want to be responsible for security or data protection over there, especially once the GDPR complaints from us EU companies/citizens start arriving...
