I’ll just add to this that Zoom is head and shoulders better than all the rest of those in terms of ease of use.

We just had to move all classes on our campus online in a matter of a week, and if we’d needed to use other VC tools it would have been a catastrophe, IMO.

Just remember one thing: Make your meetings private lest your gaming session unexpectedly turns into Chatroulette.

Zooms CEO has had to apologize for their weak privacy and information security practices.  Setup is one aspect, but there are a lot of holes. It was never meant for that.
