There is no panacea here that I’m aware of. We’ve been getting pretty good mileage out of a mix of Telegram, Discord, and Google Meet, all of which I prefer to Zoom, but none are crushing this and none are optimized for big video calls like Zoom is.
Not surprisingly given it’s gamer heritage, Discord is slick and fast for many-party voice and the present/screen-share is better than I expected, but video chat needs work and there are other nags.
I have somewhat high hopes for Telegram because it usually does things well or not at all, but I also wouldn’t want to try getting 20 people in a videoconference.
I never liked in-person meetings with tons of people in the room, and one presenter, many listener video/screen broadcast is very achievable today without Zoom. Maybe it’s a hard UX problem because it’s a fundamentally flawed collaboration model, who knows.
