Coronavirus impact on teleconferencing is part of its impact on Interet usage and as a replacement for cancelled events as well as daily business meetings and social contacts. Teleconference companies such as Zoom Video Communications have seen a sharp increase in usage, accompanied by attendant technical problems like bandwidth overcrowding and social problems like Zoombombing.[1][2][3]

Virtual happy hours for "quarantinis" have been held using the technology during this time,[4] and even virtual dance parties.[5]
