Lots of educational institutions and organizations are using the Zoom meeting App. Because of its simplicity Zoom became very much popular in a short time.

Other issues
Other than these issues the company has faced lots of other problems too. Like cases of pornography and sued lots of time. Still, lots of educational institutions are using this app like there’s now an alternative is available. Lots of institutions are using this app carelessly. We give lots of permissions already to the Zoom app while installing them. Educational institutions should be aware of these types of issues. Government officials have already marked it as unsafe. Still, there are lots of institutions that are using this app for so-called classes. There are lots of popular alternatives available like Microsoft Teams, Skype, Google Classrooms. But anyone is not willing to understand these apps just throwing away themselves with the unsafe app and selling their own data. These apps have more privacy and it is always better to choose privacy over simplicity. Avoid using Zoom App until some fix arrives.
