I sit on several boards and groups and some use Zoom and some uses Google meet. Man, Google Meet sucks. The audio always has issues and it’s quite buggy.

Zoom seems much better.

I've used all of them so far. For me, Zoom has the best quality + features that I regularly use during meetings. Google Meet is a backup, and Microsoft Teams is a when-someone-else-sets-up-the-meeting situation.
 
In my volunteer work I use both Zoom and Microsoft Teams. As a stand-alone application I like Zoom better.

Teams works best in a Microsoft Windows/Office environment when it comes to document sharing, calendar integration, and scheduling.
 
Have used Skype, SkypeBusiness,Zoom, GoToMeeting, Blue Jeans, Cisco, a bunch of others, and Teams.

For the whole workplace integration thing Teams wins hands-down.

It has been a busy videoconference year for me. I have used Zoom a lot, and it probably has the best feature set. I love the virtual background function. It also is free for 40-45 minutes at a time. So great for shorter visits. My daughter is out of state at school (PhD work at U of Minn) and has access to a licensed version of Zoom, which we use to see them weekly for a wine social.

Cisco WebEx is an older option that worked for the couple I did with it. GoToMeeting is another old standby that was pretty good for telephone conferencing, but kinda sticky at videoconferencing. Skype is still usable.

Our organization (20 docs, 3 execs, and another 250 workers) uses Office 365 for email (the security of the email...) But Teams is included, and is now our go-to for videoconferencing at this point. I use a product called Doximity, which is a medical networking site. They have voice and video conferencing from the phone (or PC), to the patient's phone, while disguising my cell phone number. It also does not require my patients to have an app, they get a text, that hooks them right up. We are working on getting a teleconferencing app built into our electronic record system, as telemedicine is growing, even for an orthopedist. Zoom did fall out of favor, early in the Covid Event, as it was not "HIPAA Compliant", although I am sure they fixed that as soon as it was noticed as a problem.

There is a Zoom medical society meeting tonight, and a Zoom hospital staff meeting coming up. It will go on, and on. At least I get to sit in comfortable seats now a days.
 
No wonder the founder of Zoom is now a billionaire...

Zoom and MS Teams are the ones I use the most (by far). Cisco is a far third place.

MS Teams has the advantage for business due to the integration with other MS products. But Zoom is the one non-corporate folks seem to be using.
 
We use Zoom and MS Teams.
Zoom is by far the better of the two for pure video conferencing.
Webex, GotoMeeting, Bluejeans are the other offerings that we use depending on the meeting/conference host.

However, the majority of our customers (almost 80%) use MS 365.
MS 365 has some features which are handy specially in the new work from home environment.
Blurr backgrounds, virtual backgrounds, AI background audio noise cancelling etc

But for an easy to use video conference facility then Zoom is what I use.
Zoom offers a handy feature where the feed can be shared to Youtube or Facebook.
We used this once for a seminar where the panel members were on Zoom and the audience (400+ participants) was given the Youtube link.

For a recent funeral service in the family, we streamed the service using Zoom from our cameras to Facebook.
This allowed us to share the service to family members spread over all over the world.

totally agree. when working from home Teams is a lot more stable than Skype was and Zoom is.
 
Our company moved to teams from Skype earlier this year. I love the Teams app. From what I've read in 2021 the mew version will allow you to seamlessly migrate a call from phone, to tablet, to computer with the tap of a button.

We regularly use ZOOM for meetings - it is constantly being updated and new features are added. It's very handy!
 
Due to my business I’ve been using Zoom past 5 years. Many customers also use Microsoft Teams as well......I prefer Zoom...

The wife retired from the DOJ and she has been contracting with them of late on a few projects and they also use a lot of AT&T 'Cisco Webex' conferencing system that can accommodate huge groups and its stable internationally. But zoom for small groups does work nice. But most of her work is rather detailed with large groups all over.
