I am also curious.

They have no ads. And their paid plans are used by so few people. And streaming real-time audio-video is expensive.

Apparently they charge corporations and universities a good amount of money for their enterprise services.

Of course…Zoom is often mistaken as just a video meetings platform for consumers and businesses alike. Zoom is so much more, as it is a platform that has chat, phone, SMS, video, whiteboarding, digital signage, conference room solutions, webinars, API/SDK integrations, app marketplace, Zoom IQ (AI solution to analyze conversations), contact center and it also has an events platform. These products above vary in price; but let’s say a large enterprise customer within the S&P 500 buys 100,000 licenses of meetings and phone at $20 per user, 1,000 webinar licenses at $79 per user, and 250 Zoom Rooms… and mind you, this is billed monthly… that’s a lot of recurring revenue for the business. I’m by no means advocating for the stock or pushing anything; just giving a high level look at how revenue can be generated at Zoom.
