As protests jolt Hong Kong business, organisations from Alibaba Group Holding Ltd to universities are adapting by going digital, switching to video-conferencing app Zoom to conduct online investor briefings and virtual lectures.

Zoom Video Communications Inc joins a number of Internet services that have taken off since the unrest began over the summer, from mobile messenger Telegram to work-at-home apps. In a financial hub that thrives on face-to-face deal-making and power lunches, Zoom helps fill a void created by transport disruptions and concerns about personal safety.
