v6.0.1 is out. They're playing with the name of the app. Today's version is called "Zoom Workplace". But it's still Zoom.

I've recently been forced to use Microsoft Teams. :-Q***** The experience has been so unintuitive, clunky, obtuse and dysfunctional that it makes Zoom look 4 star. So I gave Zoom a fourth star.

I seem to be among a lot of people who simply cannot understand why Zoom categorically refuses to allow interaction with any password manager or Keychain. I know it's not that hard to have to manually type in everything every. single. time. but it sure gets bloody annoying multiple times a day and honestly- it's not exactly like Zoom needs unbreakable security. C'mon guys- it's 2023 this shouldn't be this hard.
