How To Communicate Online: Video Chat Applications

By: Adam Scheck

Communicating can be challenging during hard times, but there are lots of programs to make it easier. These programs can be used for business, school, family, and other ways. First, there is Zoom. Zoom is a cross-platform communication program. Zoom is able to make breakout rooms, you can join on a phone call, and a meeting scheduler. Zoom has a maximum of 100 meeting participants (for the free plan). The downside of Zoom is that it has a 40 minute maximum time for the free plan. There are also options like Google Meet. This platform works just about the same, but Zoom is better in my opinion. If you are planning for online work, school, or family events, I would use Zoom.
