Zoom
Zoom is probably the app of 2020. In the midst of the pandemic and confinement, I accomplish something by thinking. That is, to function as the only option for group video calls. A very special case, since Skype and Google Meet have been on the market for years. The app is easy to use. In addition, video calls have a stability that makes it very reliable, especially in large groups. Despite its privacy and security problems, its popularity seems to be unstoppable.
In this way, we have completed our list of the best apps of 2020 for Windows 10. In spite of how difficult it has been, this year also brought interesting things. See you later!
