Island in the Zoom

Beginning on‍ April 3, 2020, Rivers Cuomo began hosting webinars with fans through the video conferencing platform Zoom during the global COVID-19 pandemic. These calls (later formally dubbed Island in the Zoom[1]) consisted of fan interviews and song performances. Information regarding miscellaneous projects and the forthcoming Van Weezer were revealed to fans. Fans were permitted entry for a small fee (beginning with $1.00, increasing incrementally thereafter up to the final price of $1.69), with certain "panelists" chosen to chat directly with Cuomo. During a separate live-streamed performance hosted by Salesforce Rivers revealed that around 500 fans participate in each webinar.
