Zoom trying hard

Quote:According to a post by Brendan Ittelson, CTO, ZOOM, the firm will soon offer custom data routing to premium users. Specifically, every paid customer of the app will have the option to choose a particular region for routing their data.


Zoom has data centers across various regions to cater to the needs of users. They manage all the data transmission through these centers depending upon the demand. They also ensure geofencing throughout this process, as they claim.
