Both bans come just a few days after schools in New York City’s Department of Education barred teachers from using the app to teach students remotely. The FBI warned Americans last month of a practice called “Zoombombing,” which entails hijacking of video conferences by uninvited guests.

Zoom said in a statement that it is now “working around-the-clock to ensure that universities, schools, and other businesses around the world can stay connected and operational during this pandemic.”
