agonza1 added Zoom as alternative to CallAlternative- gibeonapologist reviewed Zoom
Doesn't work well on Ubuntu. Kept freezing and crashing during video calls and video quality was garbage on a good internet connection too. It also keeps trying to get you to buy a subscription so that you can have conferences longer than 40 minutes, and has AI shoved in like everything else does these days (I do wonder if the AI integration is part of why it's so bad on Ubuntu, but I'm not knowledgeable enough about that to say one way or the other)

Terrible OAuth implementation... sometimes exposing you to phishing, but wow did they put a lot of work into their platform. They have Fedora RPMs, Debian .deb's, a chrome app, a web client, android and iOS apps... it's truly impressive how complete their lineup is.
