Summary

  • While Zoom is still the market leader in videoconferencing, there are plenty of free alternatives for scheduling and hosting meetings, according to a report in The Verge.
  • Skype, once one of the stalwarts of the online meeting space, is no longer recommended as it has been discontinued by Microsoft.
  • For anyone using Google’s calendar, then Google Meet is a logical choice as it is an easy and efficient way to hold video chats with up to 100 people and there is no time limit on meetings.
  • For anyone looking for a simple, easy-to-use app with plenty of features, then Jitsi could be the answer.
  • There are also options from Microsoft (Teams) or Zoho, and the report also flagged up the Open Source app Whereby and the telegram messaging app.
