Zoom Video Communications has agreed to a preliminary class-action settlement with terms that would require the video-conferencing platform to establish an $85 million fund and improve its data privacy and security practices, according to court documents.
Zoom, which exploded in popularity as stay-at-home orders took hold amid the COVID-19 pandemic, was the subject of more than a dozen class-action complaints alleging violations of security and privacy. In May 2020, the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of California consolidated these complaints into a single class-action lawsuit.
