Zoom Became the Best Web-Conferencing Product in the World (usefyi.com)

Discord, Google Hangouts, VTC, Facetime. The list is long for services that excel above Zoom in everything except ease of use for basic video conferencing. This is in my opinion as a person that has done video conferencing since 2002, when I set up a recurring twice-weekly secure VTC between folks in four different countries on three different continents.

Personally I prefer Discord, because it has a good balance between features and ease of use.

Also, with the security on Zoom I consider using it the equivalent of leaving your front door wide open while eating in the kitchen. Not something I or any of my family will do unless forced to.
