Zoom has been in partnership with third-party networks like Yealink, Neat, DTEN, and Poly for the meeting room and phone devices. Due to the COVID-19, the teleconferencing feature of the company has seen a surge in terms of users as billions of people are forced to stay at home. On the other hand, the teleconferencing portal of Zoom has also been backlashed over the privacy breach of users.
The new feature has been rolled out a week after the company claimed that it had made major progress in its transparency report.
