They recently cancelled their video offering and recommend we move to zoom. Maybe the ship is sinking?

They had such a good video offering, never had an issue, very surprised by this, why not try to charge more before dumping it?
They have not adequately funded the video product for a very long time. Other companies built out better infrastructure and a much broader range of features. The market also turned out to be smaller and differently structured than all of us thought. (I am a co-founder of a company that competes with -- though also predated -- Twilio Video.)
I have a dog in this fight, but strongly recommend that you do not move to [the] Zoom [Video SDK].

tldr: architecture that doesn't work for web apps, performance issues, missing features

I’d much prefer not moving at all, even if the Twilio product never changes, but unfortunately that’s not an option.
