The ability to change your Zoom background or touch up your appearance with a soft-focus lens option are some of the fun extras available. Support for up to 49 simultaneous video chat participants means you can host a group chat for the entire extended family. The app is incredibly simple to add on every platform and joining a meeting couldn’t be easier, which is a big advantage for getting new and less tech-savvy users on board. If you are comfortable looking past these concerns for at least personal use, the Zoom platform has a lot going for it. The major caveat with Zoom is that the company has come under fire for myriad security and privacy concerns, but Zoom has already addressed some of these issues and has committed to forgoing feature updates for 90 days to fix the rest. With over 200 million daily users currently, it is one of the most popular video chat apps on the market. Similar to Facebook, it would be impossible to omit Zoom from this list.
