Having used zoom, teams, skype for business, webex, and many others ... zoom is the only one of these which just works. I'm on the con calls typically 5+ hours a day. Yes, it is soul crushing.
Teams sorta works, though it often messes up with devices. Headsets and speakers (I've got a Jabra speak 710). Often times it handles contention badly.
Skype ... yeah. The less said the better.
Webex. Must be marketing for Zoom and others, given how unreservedly horrible the UX is.
I've also used uberconference some years ago. Almost as good as zoom.
I am looking at containerized ways to run zoom to restrict its access to my system, but it is the best IMO, by far.
[edit] I should note that I've also used Viber a bit. Less now though. Mostly for calling home from overseas. Not great for conferencing though.
- fiftyfifty 7y agoTeams is way better than Skype, provided everyone is on a computer.
- basilgohar 7y agoZoom also has a good Linux client. It's been the least frictive option amongst the well-known conferencing apps with clients for me.
