I've been working at remote-first companies for about the last four years, my current and previous company independently tested a bunch of video conferencing apps and both settled on zoom. It just works better than the alternatives. Yes better than skype, slack, gotomeeting, hangouts, meet and webex (and teams, since that's the other big one). Sometimes it's call quality, sometimes it's stability, sometimes it's usability, sometimes it's features.
