When logging in to sky live make video call the system asks you to join zoom at a cost of £12.99 per month

is this correct? Surely there is a partnership arrangement with SkyLive and Microsoft with free usage for skylive glass account holders

i was never told there was a chargr like this st point of sale

im already paying sky £38 for broadband and £81 for sky package incl £5 for sky live

Zoom is not a Microsoft product (it was Skype which they purchased over a decade ago, now almost entirely replaced by Teams)

Zoom Video Communications, Inc. is still an independent company.

I believe the Zoom account (free or paid) needs to be set up through a web browser before the app is used on Glass/Live.
