I like Discord, but their interface leaves a lot to be desired. Their sign out button is hidden away, and I wouldn't have found it if it wasn't for this article: https://support.discordapp.com/hc/en-us/articles/209572128-H...

Their tagline is "Free Voice and Text Chat for Gamers".

Yeah, they're definitely targeting that market initially - but I'm seeing communities outside that sphere start using it: https://facebook.github.io/react/blog/2015/10/19/reactiflux-...
It's not perfect, but if you're looking for voice, group voice, and group text chat, it's a great solution. Very, very simple setup, little overhead.
It is missing Video and Screen sharing, though.
I've entirely moved to using it for voice comms with people where I'm suggesting the platform. It's guest support is pretty robust, so just fire someone a link and they can dial in from their browser if they don't have the app. Call quality is better than Skype, there's separate persistent chat rooms too. I like it a lot.
