Tipp 1, don't use Zoom.
It's the only video conference program which sometimes didn't work at all last time I was doing conferences.
Also slack isn't a good choice because its quality is sometimes terrible (for the same internet connection I had experiences like slack being unbearable bad quality and then switching to Teams made thinks work reasonable).
Hangouts is boring and not fancy but works for more or less anyone.
Some of the best experiences I had with Jitsi Meet.
Teams doesn't really work on Firefox, and seems pretty bad for anything but video conferences. But its doing a reliable job for video conferences. Only problem is that the UI/UX can be very different depending on the platform you use it from. And that chrome still hasn't added by-default support for Wayland screen sharing (you need to enable pipewire support and might need to install additional pipewire packages as Chrome uses a old/deprecated pipewire interface, this isn't a problem under Firefox but neither Slack or Teams work under Firefox, mainly because they don't want to, it's not too hard to support).
- remram 5y agoHangouts no longer offers video calls and just directs you to use Google Meet (or is it Gmail Chat now?)
- dathinab 5y agoSorry, I meant Google Meet.
- extra88 5y agoZoom has been the best for me. I haven't used Jitsi Meet, I've heard it can be good but an interviewee is rarely the one to pick the call medium. > Teams doesn't really work on Firefox Don't use the browser version of any videoconferencing system you use with any regularity, use their desktop app. It would be nice if that you could use any old browser (especially when the desktop app may well be an Electron app) but the reliability isn't currently there. The desktop app is the "happy path," use what works now, not what should work. > Wayland screen sharing Ah, a Linux user. You should lead with that, your experience will have little relation to the vast majority of other people.
- ghaff 5y agoThen I mostly use Google Meet and it seems (mostly) fine. Other than when Comcast is having an off day or two.
