It’s clear that Zoom still reigns supreme during the coronavirus pandemic, even as Facebook, Google and other tech COVER Iphone X Custodia In Silicone Gel Sottile Morbida A Specchio titans create their own harry potter cover samsung s3 video conferencing alternatives. Custodia Cover iphone 11 pro max Cute Little BTS BT21 P1872 Case https://www.alpesprobois.fr/products/coque-iphone-8-rabat-715pascher5449 Nevertheless, a new influx of users means that Zoom is being leveraged for different reasons, including services that individuals would typically pay for.
Although Zoom may be accommodating for large group participation, charging users to join Zoom sessions has become a challenge. For instance, the Zoom help center mentions that users can charge cover samsung j1 2016 con brillantini registration fees for webinars using PayPal, but it’s not clear how service providers can monetize through personal Zoom sessions. Erez Ben Kiki, the founder and CEO of 2key Network, told cover samsung j3 Surakey Cover iPhone X Ultra Sottile e Morbida Custodia Silicone fiorentina Cointelegraph that as coronavirus prevails, there is now a need to integrate payment methods cover samsung 9+ into Zoom meetings:
“With over 15 thousand users on cover samsung 6 plus the 2key network, we’ve received a lot of demand to create a product that cover samsung j7 2016 brillantini enables smallto medium sized business owners the option to integrate payment management methods directly into their Zoom accounts. https://www.aquawood.fr/products/belle-coque-iphone-8-plus-710pascher4766 We also want to cover samsung galaxi j6 provide the option to activate built in self managed referral campaigns in Zoom sessions.”
According to Kiki, receiving payments through PayPal only works using the Zoom Webinar product, which is reserved for premium user accounts, adding that monetizing services hosted on Zoom has always been a challenge, as “attendees would have to either be billed individually or make payments made using PayPal or a bank transfer.”
However, 2key Network has developed a product called SmartSessions that allows Zoom users with free accounts to create a cryptocurrency paywall for their video conferencing sessions. Kiki noted that SmartSessions connects Botongda Cover iPhone 11Custodia in Silicone Morbida Custodia in directly to Zoom’s API and is deployed on the Ethereum blockchain as a layer two solution.
The product, which launched last 3C Collection Cover iPhone 6 Olografico Cover iPhone 6S Brillante week, has been designed specifically for Zoom users to generate revenue in cryptocurrency from viewers accessing their live streamed sessions. https://www.aquawood.fr/products/coque-iphone-11-pro-max-boku-no-hero-d6344 “No coding skills are required to get SmartSessions up and COVER CASE BUMPER MORBIDA CUSTODIA IN SILICONE SOFT GEL PER APPLE running,” Kiki added.
According to Kiki, there are a number of benefits a blockchain based paywall system can provide for video conferencing platforms like Zoom. He explained that receiving payments in cryptocurrencies makes it easier for individuals who offer professional services on Zoom to avoid banking restrictions and additional payment fees. “This is especially useful if attendees are based in different countries,” he pointed out.
Currently, SmartSessions allows users to accept payments in cover samsung sm t555 Ether (ETH). https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-j5-tigre-bln9742 However, Kiki noted that next month, the platform will accommodate stablecoins including Tether (USDT), Dai (DAI) and TrueUSD (TUSD). custodia cover huawei https://www.alpesprobois.fr/products/coque-iphone-7-bambou-715pascher589 Bitcoin (BTC) payments are expected to be added in the next cover samsung yateley quarter.
SmartSessions works in conjunction with the cover samsung s6 edge plus gatto 2key, Ledger or MetaMask crypto wallets. Once a user’s account has been connected to their wallet, a smart contract is created to automatically collect all the registration fees from session attendees. Kiki added:
“Account owners can withdraw funds from their dashboard directly to their wallet. Custodia Cover iphone 11 pro max Juventus Logo 3 L0167 Case We are also working on supporting auto swapping of crypto to stablecoins. Although payments are made in cryptocurrency, barriers to entry are lowered as crypto can be purchased using a credit card from within 2key 17 different fiat currencies are currently supported.”
Additionally, each transaction made on the SmartSessions network is recorded on the Ethereum blockchain, which DiaryTown 2 Pezzi Cover per iPhone 6S Plus/iPhone 6 Plus Silicone means information is transparent and immutable, giving users access to their payment history that cannot be altered.
However, while blockchain technology does bring a number of benefits to video conferencing platforms, there are still challenges. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-galaxy-j3-or-pascher-jil3041 For instance, Kiki explained that some users have been hesitant to receive crypto payments, even with the implementation of a credit card solution. cover custodia case iphone 11 E0007 futuristic wallpaper 22aA5 Custodia Cover Iphone X/XS https://www.alpesprobois.fr/products/coque-iphone-7-twd-710pascher4093 He also pointed out that the smart contract deployment fee needs to be solved moving forward.
It’s important to note that security issues are still present with blockchain based solutions. https://www.aquawood.fr/products/coque-iphone-8-neymar-710pascher5775 While Kiki explained that SmartSessions generates fully decentralized links to ensure that video calls are not disrupted by unwanted parties joining the call a major problem Zoom users have recently been encountering and security experts have pointed out that decentralization is not enough. This alone does nothing to secure communications, which is Zoom’s main issue. student Ben Fisch told Cointelegraph that blockchain technology isn’t at all relevant for video conferencing platforms:
“Video conferencing platforms are centralized communication systems that are often collecting cover samsung s5 divertenti information cover samsung s8 frasi from users and then misusing that data. custodia cover samsung All of these issues can be solved by peer to peer collaboration systems or end to end encryption. cover custodia case iphone 11 V7262 darkest dungeon wallpaper 16mK4 We need to utilize cryptography to solve security challenges, rather than blockchain systems.”
Fish explained that blockchains are simply databases that combine cryptography, consensus protocols and decentralized governance. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-gt-e1270-pascher-jil2062 Custodia Cover Iphone 6/6S “All of these are separate from the issues users are experiencing with video communication. https://www.alpesprobois.fr/products/coque-iphone-8-plud-710pascher4776 End to end encryption is the only solution,” he added. Ankit Bhatia, a co founder and the CEO of Sapien Network, also told Cointelegraph that encryption is indeed the only solution that will help keep video conferencing data secure:
“Upgrading from the outdated AES 128 to AES 256 will make Zoom data exponentially more secure it was boneheaded not to use this widely accepted standard for encryption. https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-galaxy-j3-2016-undertale-pascher-jil4830 Introducing end to end encryption would be helpful for protecting Zoom data.”
Yet, this is easier said than done as Bhatia further explained that vulnerable access points are an additional issue affecting data security on platforms like Zoom, adding:
“Zoom ultimately needs to change how it creates ‘meetings’ Google Meet can generate fresh links continuously, while Zoom creates fixed meeting rooms, making it extremely easy to guess meeting room numbers if you have the right tool. cover custodia case iphone 11 G4547 disney wallpaper 18fH8 https://www.loiregrafix.fr/products/coque-samsung-galaxy-s-gt-i9000-pascher-jil3399 Custodia cover samsung S10 Password protection needs to flip cover samsung note 10 plus be on by default, and Zoom should explore other forms of authentication (2FA, MFA, SSO) to protect the integrity of meetings.”
Security issues aside, Kiki remains optimistic about the SmartSessions solution, predicting that it will assist many entrepreneurs and smallto medium sized organizations that have been affected by COVID 19:
“SmartSessions will provide new income and scaling opportunities for many businesses impacted by COVID19 that have now turned to Zoom to conduct business online.
