From the episode:

What does customer happiness mean for Zoom?

Michael Krigsman: Eric, we met about – what, now – I guess about five years ago. Since that time, Zoom has entered the language as a verb. So much has changed, and so tell us very briefly what's going on with Zoom right now.

Eric Yuan: Thank you, Michael. You are so right. Since we met (five or six years ago) I think a lot of things have changed. Three years ago, we became a public company while working so hard, the folks, on innovation.

Last year, on many fronts, that was extremely challenging. But the good news is, finally, I think, our dream is coming true to leverage our technology to truly have the world, have the people, stay connected during the pandemic crisis time.

I can tell you we're very excited about our future. But again, I think one thing that has not changed is the amount of work. It's still a lot.

Michael Krigsman: I remember when we first met. You spoke a lot about customer happiness. How do you think about customer happiness today at the size, the scale that Zoom is at?

Eric Yuan: Customer happiness is still our core value. That has not changed at all. Actually, we do feel more responsibility. We needed to do more because, prior to the pandemic crisis, Zoom was built to serve for enterprise, business, or government customers.

But since last year, we had so many new users, consumers, new use cases, we feel like we've had more responsibility. Not only do we deliver happiness to the enterprise customers, but also we would like to embrace all those new use cases and do more to care about them.
