5. It brought you to Cafe Zoom.

It was the place to eat. Your parents loved it that half the recipes required their supervision.

6. Zoom Guest was a segment where they just interviewed kids just like you.

But who were a lot more talented and liked things like electricity and dogs.

7. The “Zoom” kids always reminded you how to get in touch with them.

As if you could forget!

“Everything you see right here could only be on Zoom because of every one of you.”

“Email or Zmail!”

Get it, it’s like email but it’s through the mail and addressed to Zoom.

8. The whole show was actually just full of crowdsourced ideas from “viewers like you”.
