Before 2020, videoconferencing was steadily growing at a slow pace (8-10%), particularly in corporate environments, but it was not yet ubiquitous and inaccessible for the majority. The technology was primarily used for cross-border business meetings, remote team collaborations, and in sectors like education and healthcare. During 2020, the circumstances led to an unprecedented surge in demand for video conferencing solutions with a massive spike in usage in platforms like Zoom, Microsoft Teams, and Google Meet of about 30K% in a few months, achieving an Annual Growth Rate of over 30%, during 2020-2024.
