Video Communication Now and in the Future with Eric Yuan of Zoom – Episode 11 of “Chambers Talks: A Podcast Series with John Chambers”
I’ve long said that #videocommunication will be the business channel of the future. We invented Cisco Telepresence for enterprises in 2006 as a direct response to the Bird Flu outbreak. While we may have been a little early to the curve back then, after the past year and a half of the COVID-19 global pandemic, I don’t think any of us can imagine where we would be without Zoom.
It was my pleasure to host Zoom Founder & CEO Eric Yuan for this month’s episode of “Chambers Talks: A Podcast Series with John Chambers”. As one of the founding engineers of WebEx, Eric set out in 2011 to build what would soon become one of the highest-performing tech IPOs of 2019 and an absolutely critical player in enabling businesses to keep running during the 2020 and 2021 Coronavirus crisis. His relentless focus on competing against market transitions to innovate for the world of tomorrow, paired with a simple yet effective mission and culture focused on delivering happiness to customers, has made Eric a game changing CEO and leader. I am humbled to call him a friend who I continue learning from to this day!
In this episode of the #podcast, Eric talks with me about how a healthy sense of paranoia helps him and his team always think about what comes next as they continue building a platform that brings teams together in a frictionless video environment, even as return to work plans rollout slowly in the U.S. and around the world. We have a healthy give and take about the hybrid workplace of the future, where voice apps fit into the mix, and what comes next for Zoom in the coming decade (hint: in as little as 10 years, you might be able to literally smell the coffee the person is drinking on the other side of your Zoom chat – how cool is that?).

3 年Interesting post ! Wonder often whether this global pandemic has proved a fact that HOME is still a better place to be safe and healthy , professionally, socially , culturally, educationally and what not .. restricting only physical movement ! ? ! Expenses are cut tremendously within Organisations on one side businesses badly affected on the other side, hitting spirally other businesses as well.. Within Home physical exercises have started mounting up too but with a latent fear of humans getting transformed to robots automatically ..If our Technology has not been developed so far, just imagine the plight of humans in this Covid crisis ! Robert Process Automation RPA gaing ground .. The fact that a judicial mix of Technology and Human interfaces can create wonders is being proved right now during our hard times of covid across world .
