It's free to a point but as far as I've seen it works pretty darn well
!
There are other options out there too of course.
Jabber for one. Open source. Can't screen share though as far as I
know.

Which is better for doing what? I've been using both and each has
it's strong points and it's problems. I'm not going to do a bullet
point feature comparison for you when running Zoom or Skype and seeing
for yourself will probably take less time.

Since you're suppose to be a Linux supporter, you might want to look
at Jitsi (Open source, free, and runs on Windoze, Linux, MacOS, IOS
and Android.):

We're starting to use it for our local Linux user group. Very little
experience so far and no clue about potential performance issues.

Which is which and for which would have been nice.
This group is notorious for being more fucking vague than a fucking

For a 1:1( or even 3:1) with friends, Skype. For business with pre
planned meetings, Zoom. I tried Zoom to talk to a friend. what a pain it
was.

It's not that difficult to do 1 to 1 or and "instant meeting" with
Zoom.
1. Register with Zoom to get an account and password or login
with Google, SSO, or Farcebook.
2. Login to your Zoom account with a web browser at:
<https://zoom.us>
3. Select "Profile" from the menu.
4. The first item is "Personal Meeting ID".
5. Select "Show" (twice) to get the Personal Meeting ID number and
the URL to give others to connect to you directly or to setup "instant
meetings". Save both for future abuse.
6. If you plan to host a meeting, also grab the "Host Key" further
down the page.
7. Do not leak the URL or "host key" (password) to the GUM (great
unwashed masses) or you're likely to be "Zoom Bombed".

I prefer GoToMeeting for the sole reason that is it already setup on my work computer, and the very few groups that I need to attend remotely use that platform.
Otherwise, for the types of meetings I'm usually involved in, all those fancy bells and whistles are pretty much useless. (And I'm sure GTM has them too.)
What truly annoys me is when Presenters are still fumbling with the technology when the actual meeting starts. I have walked out of some of those. If you're going to host a meeting, learn how to use the platform first, regardless of which one you pick! 20 people on the line waiting for a Presenter to get a clue is not an efficient use of manpower.

We used Zoom with a meetup group to play online trivia. The video of the trivia guy was sent to all of us and we had a little window to share our images. It worked rather poorly, but it's hard to say why. The video was so poor resolution that I couldn't read the text in the video which was not small. When I pulled up the video in another windows I found there was a big time lag, four seconds or more for that video to appear on the Zoom screen.. Conversation was ridiculously difficult with voices from everyone in the group and the video all active at once and with echos. Everyone talking at once is not Zoom's fault, but what's up with the bad telephone hybrid like echos?
It was so bad I don't think I'm going to participate anymore.

Thank you. Having not used it, I wonder why Zoom is so popular now, and
how it could possibly be any better than what was available before. You
provide a more reasoned response than it's "the hottest thing out there."

Sunday we have a meeting to discuss the future direction of the group and I am dreading it a bit. But at least that isn't a bunch of people playing trivia so they shouldn't be talking over one another.
