When it comes to video call apps, there are lots of options like Zoom, WhatsApp, Google Dou, Apple Facetime, Messanger, Skype, etc.
Which one do you use and why would you recommend it?

Work I use google meet which works well for an organisation already using all things google. Although we are using Zoom for our weekly social meeting due to the breakout rooms feature.
I also use Zoom for online classes (pilates, cake decorating) but I find the Zoom client for Ubuntu to be unstable and it often starts chewing through memory so I usually default to the less feature rich web client.
And finally I use Jitsi for the bookclub I run. Jitsi is my personal favourite, easy to get going, easy to use, has some nice features like being able to change an individual participants volume (helpful if you have people who speak softly or sit far from the mic).

Zoom because its very common in India
It always depends on which video call app my clients or my friends use, then I'll install all of them. But mainly, using Google Meet because most people have it. I also have created a web-based P2P video chat to replacing these apps. But I haven't fully utilized it yet.
Google Meet for formal talks, Google Duo to talk with family members and Discord for talking with friends when coding together.
For work my favorite is zoom because I can record the video calls... For personal use IG
Here we use both Google Meet and Zoom.
Jitsi! I like how simple it is and that it's open source.
Lolz! Still useful for screen sharing ...
Jitsi.
Self hosted or not, you donβt have to create accounts, download anything, or tell them anything about you or your users.
Also I run daily 10 person meetings in full HD on an Amazon t2 micro instance - way cheaper than paying for 10 zoom subscriptions!
Agreed, supporting open source and it's comparably better than most other video conferencing software.
