I teach on zoom every week, and the UI is head and shoulders above every other competitor for screen share and annotation.

Google meet, and jitsi meet are both depressingly bad for this use case.

Agreed; I also teach virtually, across a number of platforms, and Zoom is the one that just works easily and intuitively for everyone. Screen sharing and breakout rooms are a pain in all the other tools I've tried.

It's not my favourite piece of software, but for virtual teaching, it is head-and-shoulders above the competition.

I also taught on zoom -when I had connection issues I had no idea how to reconnect to a dropped call. Meanwhile students where thrown out of the call when I took to long.

Compared to google meet it all felt like a bad joke.
