While most individuals are using Zoom for free, more companies are signing on for big-money deals -- and that's the key for the company's long-term prospects, writes tpoletti.

Zoom Video Communications Inc. has become a household name during the coronavirus pandemic, with millions of people using its online-video service for free — but it still needs companies to pay for it in order to survive.

Zoom said that it added 219 customers in the second quarter that spent more than $100,000 each in the trailing 12-month period, its best quarter ever for attracting big-revenue customers. Zoom is approaching 1,000 customers of that size, reaching 988 as of the quarter’s end on July 31. Smaller customers are growing fast at Zoom too, but they could have a more volatile effect on Zoom’s financials. Zoom ended the quarter with about 370,000 customers that have 10 employees or more, adding 105,000 of those in the second quarter, and pushing the smaller companies to 36% of Zoom’s revenue, up from 30%.
