I was surprised to find Zoom growing its user base due to the current world situation. Google Hangouts has been there for so long, and it has always sat with me better. Perhaps Hangouts being the product of big bad Google drove people to seek for alternatives and they found Zoom?

To be fair lots of users use Hangouts. I think a combination of word of mouth, easily shareable URLs and the lack of the requirements of having to have an account helped a lot. Also, its quality and its web client.

Don't know how better it gotten but I remember how two or three years years ago I couldn't use Hangouts from Firefox.
