MS Teams is pretty good, but it's Microsoft so people aren't using it as much. Which is understandable.

And it runs on Ubuntu! To be honest I'd rather not use software made or hosted on US/Chinese/Russian soil but I don't really have much choice at my workplace. If it didn't ran on Ubuntu I'd dual boot to windows just for meetings.

This would be a great time for some proper European alternatives.

Teams and Hangouts have the same problem -- they are hard to set up.

Zoom "just works". My in-laws joined a Zoom conference without help. There is no way they would have figured out Hangouts or Teams.

Yeah, totally agree. Our company uses Zoom. I'm happy enough with it. I've been forced to use MS Teams though, and I actually like it a fair bit.
