Zoom can utilize existing market share to help push through other international new markets. (S1, O1)
Zoom may apply the customer-orientated strategy to attract new customers and retain old ones with maintaining quick and good customer service. (S3, T1)
The increase in online conference and tools users create the phenomena of “Zoombombing” which is undesirable. Zoom should take advantage of opportunities and try to minimize adverse effects. (W2, O3)
Weaknesses
Do not support end-to-end encryption -earlier this year, a ZOOM spokesperson states that ZOOM is not end-to-end encrypted; -Currently, ZOOM uses a TLS connection for encryption, meaning the messages and meeting contents are encrypted between the user’s device and ZOOM’s server.
Yuchen Zhou 2020
Zoombombing -the huge uptake of Zoom has created the new phenomenon of 'zoombombing' which sees uninvited guests join video conferences, usually to shout abuse, share pornography or make racist remarks.
Dakin Andone 2020
Lack of flexibility- Zoom is not flexible when you switch it from PC to mobile or tablet.

At its peak, the firm counted more than 300 million daily participants in virtual meetings, while paying customers have more than tripled.

Threats
Competition: Pricing/ Price strategy -Zoom's free tier allows unlimited one-on-one meetings but limits group sessions to 40 minutes and 100 participants; Microsoft Teams is included with all Microsoft 365 plans (which start at $5 a user per month), but there is a freemium version of the service that includes support for up to 300 people.
Maggie Tillman 2020
Technology restrictions -The quality of service will affect the areas with poor reception or with strained WiFi networks at home.
