Video call and meeting software

There seem to be many. How about posting here which one(s) you use, how you like it and so on.

I'm starting to look at ways to remote-meet with customers, subs, etc. It will be a useful tool even post-virus. But there are too many out there, I'm looking to narrow my research to just a few.

Skype can still be useful but be careful, Microsoft, Google, and other corporations take and use your data, and other people may just steal it dishonestly. It's better to be always on the lookout. You don't know where to expect the catch. After all, even the most standard applications can contain malicious or spyware.
