[Hidden-tech] Zoom vs. Hangouts ?

[Michael Muller]

Zoom works fairly flawlessly and I feel is certainly worth the $15/mo 
price tag. I'm sure many people will sign up and perhaps when the crises 
is over probably half will cancel.

Hangouts works well for smaller groups, though it's confusing in that 
there's a company-level Hangout, and a personal Chrome Hangouts, which 
is a Chrome Extension.

Skype is also good for smaller groups, and is a Microsoft product.

For Mac-based people, there's Facetime, also for smaller groups. This is 
free and works on phones, tablets, and Mac laptops.

My experience. Your mileage will probably vary.
