For me, ranked:
Zoom
Google Meet
Discord
Slack
Teams
Anything else
But it gets points for being open source and self hostable. I appreciate that.
For me, it’s
Google Meet (best UI, I like the waiting room, etc)
Amazon Chime (I like the ringing features, integrated chat)
Jitsi (OSS etc)
Zoom (It’s ok, yes, but the company is questionable and the UI is so so)
Etc
Teams (never used tbh, but I used corporate Skype before rebranding and it never worked right)
Before the pandemic, apple had to remove their Mac app because it was basically a virus.
Google and Amazon aren't perfect, but you can use their video calls without worrying that an executive will dislike the content of your call and mess with you. And they don't use anti-patterns to try and route you from the web app to installing a virus.
