[Hidden-tech] Remote Work Platforms

[creath]

In case no one's mentioned it yet, Zoom has quickly taken over my business and the clients and companies I work with.  Someone in my workspace had a 4k-person conference seminar over it.  It overruled Hangouts and Slack for those I work with because it has superior screensharing.

To reply regarding general communication platforms: Slack is the backbone of all my work at the moment.  I use Slack's free service for my team of 4-6, my industries regional social community is on Slack's free service, and has about 300 people, and all my other business communication is on clients separate, paid Slack services.  

Zoom replaced it for conference calls due to reliability.  I've no knowledge of Zooms commercial cost.
