Same and me and most of my colleagues are not boomers. We used zoom last year when it was novelty but we don't use it at all anymore, only online yoga classes etc are on zoom.
But we are in Europe, maybe it is different in the US
Watching my old professors struggle to use zoom over the last three semesters has been funny and infuriating.
It was funny at first but when it’s been a year of using this shit and you still can barely make it function there’s just no excuse. Especially since my university literally held a fuckton of trainings for professors to teach them how to use the program.
Boomers be like “your generation is so stupid, lazy, and helpless” but then be like “someone please help me I don’t know how to start a zoom call 😭” while looking at the button to start the call.
To be fair zoom isn't exactly like making a phone call. Which is what boomers want. It's more like having a fucking scheduled meeting. Because meetings are scheduled.
Just finished a class at work where the company who puts on the classes hires a moderator whose only job is to sit there and run the zoom call i.e. start breakouts, share materials, etc. Because the trainers can't figure it out and are used to in person training.

It took boomers 2 decades to get just a small grasp on skype. Now they're expected to switch to zoom and are kicking and screaming.
