Best platform for group meetings?

[George K]

Zoom?

Facetime?

Google hangouts (or whatever they're calling it now)?

Skype?

Problem with FaceTime is that it's Apple-platform specific.
Problem with Google hangouts is that you need a Google account.
Problem with Skype is that it's Microsoft account specific.

Try out Zoom for yourself, right now, see the link posted by LuFinsDad at https://nodebb.the-new-coffee-room.club/topic/529/maskerade-happy-hour-monday-at-5/10

For group meetings that do not require every participant to have an "account", there are:
https://zoom.us
https://www.bluejeans.com
https://www.gotomeeting.com
https://www.webex.com

Have fun exploring.

Zoom is pretty good I think, so is Teams.

[Aqua Letifer]

Skype, FaceTime etc.

Depends on the number of participants. I need one for at least 100, so will be trying Google Meet. It handles up to 250, and can record the meeting, which can be useful for posting on a website and creating official minutes for records.

For small groups, Zoom has been fine. For very small, Skype.

I used gotomeetings - worked fine - but I haven't tried it in a couple of years.

Forget Skype, FaceTime, Hangouts. They are dead.

Zoom is pretty decent. I'm using it for meetings with 30 people on a regular basis and use it for lectures with 100+ students.

Bluejeans is also pretty reliable.
