Top 10 Zoom Alternatives in 2024 — Better Video Conferencing Software

1

Zoom

Unfortunately, we’re all familiar with Zoombombing (unwanted users interrupting meetings and cyber-harassing participants) and data sharing fiascos. The latest Zoom security concerns have to do with Zoom’s plans to use user content to train AI models. They later changed their mind about this and shared in their terms and services that they will not use your content to train AI models without your consent.

Pumble

What I appreciate the most about Pumble is that it offers a comprehensive free plan complete with the entire message history. This means I can track every file and conversation ever exchanged — a life-saver if you need to reference an announcement shared in your team channel some time ago.

Google Meet

Google Meet has recently introduced Huddly’s continuous adaptive framing, which adjusts to keep participants in the meeting room always in view. This is a great addition if you want to create a more engaging meeting experience with your team.

Discord

Overall, Discord is your best Zoom alternative if you’re looking for great audio performance. I believe voice communication is where Discord shines. The online lessons I had over Zoom can’t compare to Discord in terms of impeccable audio quality, mostly thanks to the Krisp noise suppression, which made all the difference for me.

Webex Meetings

For example, if you’re accustomed to joining meetings in one click, prepare for a multiple-step process with Webex Meetings. You’ll need some patience during the registration, to begin with, and then you’ll have to decipher the confusing password system.

Whereby (formerly appear.in)

Whereby has recently announced Co-location groups, which allows group participants to join from the same physical location. Hybrid teams will find the feature beneficial as it removes echo and improves their audio and video quality.

Microsoft Teams

That being said, Microsoft Teams has a limited free plan available only for personal use. Business plans are fairly affordable though, ranging from Microsoft Teams Essentials for $4 per user per month to Microsoft 365 Business Premium plan at $22.00 per user per month.

Brave Talk

I tried the free Brave Talk version and got unlimited calls with up to 4 people, which worked pretty fine. I was able to change backgrounds, chat, and share my screen during calls, but what stood out to me was the sheer simplicity and clean design of the user interface in Brave Talk.

Zoho Meeting

Another important advantage of Zoho Meeting is that it is primarily web-based, letting you have a complete meeting experience without any downloads. However, mobile and desktop apps are also available. I tried the web version myself because I’d take the ease and simplicity of joining over most of the (gimmicky) functionalities anytime. I didn’t notice any drop in quality or anything missing functionality-wise.

Jitsi Meet

Fortunately, the explanation came quickly enough — Brave Talk and Jitsi Meet come from the same team. So, it makes perfect sense to have almost the same UI, with some slight variations — Brave Talk has an added colorful theme.
