-I’m tired of Zoom’s obnoxious yelling about its AI features and general bloatedness.
-I’m trying to reduce how much I use Google/Microsoft stuff, which includes Google Meet and Teams.
-I don’t think I’ve heard about anyone using Skype since approximately 2010, and it’s owned by Microsoft now anyway.
-Fuck Meta and all its products.
-I like Facetime the best of everything I’ve used, but that only works if an Apple user starts the call, and I don’t love Apple as a company anymore either.
I’m guessing there are some nice non-bloated apps out there that aren’t run by giant tech corporations. So what’s your favorite app for video calls?
Does signal do like team meetings anyone can join with a link?
Apparently yes: https://support.signal.org/hc/en-us/articles/7860719423002-How-to-create-and-share-call-links
But I’ve never tried it for that.
I use it for text voice and video with friends though.
I only use it to face chat with my family. Group video calls work fairly well. The app is very barebone. Do not expect fancy, or even convenience features.
