Zoom could be set to launch its own email app
0It may soon be harder than ever to escape Zoom following reports that the company is working on a range of new software products.
The Information(opens in new tab) has reported that the video conferencing giant is working on an email service and calendar app as it looks to expand and establish itself as a software titan.
The so-called Zmail and Zcal offerings have reportedly been in development for around two years, and could launch within the next few weeks, giving the company a potentially huge new customer opportunity.
The company is hosting its Zoomtopia conference in November, where the new services could well be revealed.
Launching a calendar app seems like a fairly straightforward step for Zoom, which could combine a scheduling and planning service across its apps. Email may prove to be a trickier proposition however, with the likes of Gmail and Outlook dominating much of the enterprise market.
Its most recent financial results(opens in new tab) showed revenues of $1.1 billion for its Q2 2023, a rise of 8%, with the number of customers paying more than $100,000 for subscriptions rising 37% year-on-year.
The company also recently overhauled its messaging app in an attempt to keep track with the likes of Slack and Microsoft Teams.
The newly-named Zoom Teams Chat will include features such as in-meeting text chat for video calls, streamlined meeting setup, a new Reminders feature, Progressive Web App support and better third-party app integration.
