BlueJeans and RingCentral might as well be clones of Zoom. Amazon Chime and Microsoft Teams are fine for me too, but I'm not picky.

After the disastrous experience I had with BlueJeans this morning, I wouldn't include it as a quality or reliability match for Zoom.

The company my wife works for can't get a reliable Teams conference going with anyone in France.

Zoom is a really great product.

The company lied about their encryption.

Both of these statements can be true, it's just a question of trade offs.

Ring Central uses Zoom for the backend.

I know they just announced their own "Ring central video" But im weary of that for the time being.

You say backend, but the frontend also has tons of overlap. The first time I saw RingCentral was after much Zoom experience, and I was thoroughly confused (based on nothing but the frontend) by the similarity until reading up about it. As a one-time invitee rather than a frequent user, RC was absurdly identical to Zoom other than the title bar and icon.

Ring central has used zoom on the backend for a while even before zoom went public. But just recently they added a powered by zoom watermark. And yes the applications do look very similar but RC meetings hasn't changed the UI in the 3+ years i've been using it.

ah, my bad. I just googled and educated myself on the difference.
