Zoom Video Communications Inc. Chief Executive Officer Eric Yuan said the company will do a better job integrating office chatroom products from Slack Technologies Inc. and Microsoft Corp., betting that cooperation is better than competition for the software maker’s growth.
“Chat is a very important functionality for our overall usage,” Yuan said Wednesday during an online meeting with analysts. “The core priority is how to further improve the integration between chat, video and voice.”
