Zoom has said its video conferencing app's user base grew by another 50% to 300 million in the last three weeks. This comes as the company fought to quell a backlash around security and safety that has seen a number of governments and firms ban its applications.
Chief executive Eric Yuan gave the numbers last night in an update on the platform's 90-day security plan, while also outlining the rollout next week of a new version of the app with more encryption features.
Zoom shares closed up nearly 5% in New York, and at $150.25 are now back close to peaks close to $160 hit last month before the security row erupted.
