Zoom CEOās Guide: Be Yourself, Interrupt, Survive Three Hours
Eric Yuan, Zoom founder in 2011 and Nasdaq flamingo since 2019, dropped wisdom on Zoom calls: prep your invite list like Hogwarts sorting, but also don't pretend you're at the Queen's tea. Forget 'too nice, too polite'āinterrupt like youāre auditioning for 'The Office.' Meetings capped at three hours because apparently Zoom stamina peaks before snack time. When Zoom CEO isnāt channeling the ghost of virtual backgrounds past (currently stuck in his office), he leaves chats with 'Sorry, I got to do something,' AKA adulting away from your screen. Meanwhile, Amazonās Jeff Bezos wants meetings messy enough to resemble a family Thanksgiving, inviting team drama over scripted PowerPoints with dissent as the main course.

Eric Yuan says be polite-ish but interrupt anyway on Zoom. Basically, slurring through meetings like a teenager sneaking out, but professionally because we canāt afford to turn off our cameras.
Zoom meetings should be informal? Cool, time to wear pajama bottoms while sounding official above the waist like a broke YouTuber.
Jeff Bezos loves messy meetings. Because nothing says innovative empire-building like shouting over your staff in half-baked sausage-making sessions.
