A 15 minute Zoom…?

I have finished three rounds of interviews at a company. Round one was over the phone with a recruiter. Round two was a video call with the hiring manager. Round three was an in-person panel, with four people, lasting for two hours. After that, the hiring manager said he’d be in touch soon regarding a decision.

Today, I got an email from the recruiter saying the hiring manager would be emailing to set up a time where he could “call” me. I got excited. I provided my availability—it’s for Monday at 9!

But I just looked and saw, it’s a Zoom call, not a phone call. This is an international company with offices all over the globe, so it’s possible it’s on Zoom so that HR could be involved, but I’m confused! I have never been offered a job via video call before. But I can hardly think of why else they’d have set up a 15 minute call to “have a 15-minute follow-up conversation with you regarding the opening on the team.”

I’m a bit lost. Has anyone been offered a job in this format before? What else would they want?
