For those on the fence, we would like to recommend Microsoft Teams. It is powerful, feature-rich, and will probably come preinstalled with Windows 11 if regulators do not put pressure on Microsoft. Another freeware tool from Microsoft folks can also use, is Skype. We believe the tool is being replaced by Teams, but at the moment, Skype is still easier to use, which makes it more consumer-friendly when compared to its possible replacement.
