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?

It depends on what kind of video call you want to have. Video calls are for different reasons like social stuff, work with clients etc.
Could you add more context to the question regarding what the video call is about then I can chime in with tools that I use per scenario. Thank you!
We are using WebEx at work, would not recommend it. I consistently does not work correctly with headset on PC, so you need to make it call your phone.
In the past we used MS Teams, would breakup when there is more people using video but was fine for small team. And zoom for whole company meetings etc... The free version gives you very limited time...
For school, we mainly use Microsoft Teams
For personal use I like whereby.com. Runs directly in the browser so there's no app hassle.
google hangouts at work - went through all the things (Zoom, Whereby, Jitsi...), and ended up there again. On top for more presentation style things we are very happy with crowdcast.io .
Jitsi.
Self hosted or not, you don’t 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.
Lolz! Still useful for screen sharing ...
Jitsi! I like how simple it is and that it's open source.
Here we use both Google Meet and Zoom.
For work my favorite is zoom because I can record the video calls... For personal use IG
