WebEx and Skype are the popular alternatives. And if you want to talk about poor software quality I think Zoom was created because WebEx is such poor software from a user's perspective.
- mennis16 6y agoSkype absolutely wrecks my MacBook, not sure if the experience is similar on other laptops but I can't even open a PDF while on a Skype call. It would be impossible for me to give a presentation over Skype with my current setup. The software on its own seems reasonably user friendly but if the resource usage is a common issue I don't see Skype being a viable alternative right now.

- nikolay 6y agoWe have kids with Chromebooks and older laptops and on meeting with 10+ kids, Hangouts Meet becomes intolerable. Not to mention the lack of control - kids mute the teacher, can speak at any time, there's no raising hands, etc. We have to install a bunch of extensions so that we can have a basic functionality in place like the Nod Chrome extension.
- P_I_Staker 6y agoYeah, there's actually tons of alternatives. Everyone and their cousin has a chat app, and video conferencing is a basic feature.
