WebRTC is much better at having "consistently good video quality" as this benchmark convincingly shows: https://jitsi.org/news/a-simple-congestion-test-for-zoom/

On a 1:1 video call. There a dozens of good tools for that - show me a good webrtc app that can handle a 50 user video call well. Or even 10-15 users.

WebRTC fell down for 6 users the other day, so we switched to G2M

GoToMeeting is the WORST!

They have this long long outstanding bug where if they deem the audio low-quality (despite the fact it's crystal clear) they gain the audio and it goes crackly and too loud. If you turn down the volume... they gain it again, and again, and again, till you need to restart the app. Only for it to happen again.

Wow, I've never had that happen in GoToMeeting, but I had something similar happen in MS Teams today.

Just in case anyone else was wondering, here's a web app where you can try WebRTC. https://appr.tc/
