The real innovation Zoom brought to the table (IMHO) was not requiring you to make an account to join a call.

Inconsequential within a company where everyone already has a <whatever> account - but critical if it's a one-off or rare call - such as a vendor talking to a customer, a hiring manager inviting someone to interview, or a doctor calling a patient.
