One company's optionality is another company's threat. For Teladoc (TDOC -1.06%) and Amwell (AMWL -3.86%), that threat could come from Zoom (ZM 0.64%).

Yasser El-Shimy: Can I just jump in here for a second while we still have this slide?
Jon Quast: Sure. Absolutely.
El-Shimy: I just wanted to comment that not a lot of people actually are aware of that Zoom is a serious player in telehealth. That's one of the industry verticals where they are doing a lot of really successful work.
Usually when we think telehealth, of course, that's just Teladoc or Amwell. But Zoom Health is HIPAA compliant.
It's a very easy solution to use for a lot of doctors, a lot of hospitals, clinics, practices and so on. Just put it on and start engaging with their patients without having to go through a third-party like a Teladoc or Amwell.
I just wanted to highlight that. Thanks, Jon.
