Zoom founder Eric Yuan is sick of endless ‘Zoom meetings’

In a hilarious turn of events, the founder of the video-conferencing application Zoom, Eric Yuan accepted that even he is tired of the endless virtual meetings on his own company’s software.

During a virtual meet hosted by the Wall Street Journal, on the leading CEOs, Eric Yuan stated that at his peak he once attended 19 Zoom meetings in a row in one day.

When questioned if even he suffered from ‘Zoom fatigue’, Yuan answered, chuckling, “I’m so tired of that.”

“I do have meeting fatigue. I do not have any back-to-back meetings anymore, and I feel much more comfortable now,” the company founder stated.

Set up in 2011, Zoom, was relatively unknown before gaining worldwide presence, after the pandemic hit globally and workers across the world were forced to start working from home.

According to Forbes, Eric Yuan’s worth is $13.2 billion, which ranks him at No.133 in the list of billionaires.

However, Yuan now wished that his own staff could go back to the old-fashioned style of meetings. He stated that the Zoom staff is expected to return to the office at least two days a week.
