To be the boring voice here... Skype for Business. The calls themselves are fine, but the applications are garbage. I'd advise against the platform. Haven't tried MS Teams yet.
Being able to set up a con call from the Outlook mobile app is an awesome feature too. Quality has been fine.
We are in AU by the way.
* Use your existing Polycom/Cisco VC Gear (even h323!) * Get a dial in number or toll free # * Use the web without a plugin! (WebRTC) * Mac/Windows/Linux/iOS/Android...
Try a free trial.. It blows WebEx/Zoom/Fuze/GoToMeeting/Skype out of the water with quality...
Uberconference.com, although admittedly I've seen Zoom frequently and I'm starting to see Google Meet in my org (ask but ubercobference support video). For audio, it federally depends on where people are calling from (India tends to eliminate a few potions), if it's internal, and the number (100+ changes things)

I work on a cross platform team, i.e. Linux, macOS and sometimes WIndows. Zoom did us well, but then Slack calls appeared and its almost entirely replaced our usage. It works well, no complaints.
How did you make zoom.us work on Linux? It always seems to make try and download an .exe file. Zoom is one of the ever-decreasing uses for my emergency mac .
I haven't used the Linux client, but many others at my company use it.
Google Hangouts has always worked well for me and it's free. I'm curious why the paid alternatives are better.
But does it work well ? If so, you're in the minority. I cannot tell you how many times I've had to kill Chrome because Hangouts caused it to crash, or how many times core functionality in Hangouts straight up didn't work, or how many times I've been interrupted in a group call by somebody else's Hangouts doing the same ("Wait for Joe...he's gotta restart Hangouts"). And on top of all of that, Hangouts does not work…
* Doesn't work on Firefox (for a better part of a year now for me, which appears to be an intentional won't fix)
* Frequently causes Chrome to hang or crash
* Pretty noticeable resource hog when it does work
* Audio/video quality is absolutely garbage, frequently breaks up or stutters, and has poor frame rate and high latency
* Seems to do a poor job isolating voice from sound (a handful of people will pretty much cause nonstop background noise, it tries to be clever by muting you when it detects mostly background sound, but it just results in people talking without realizing they're muted)
* Pretty feature poor compared to competitors (master presenter, remote control, shared whiteboard, phone dial-in, phone dial-out)
* Tied pretty heavily to a Google account, which is incredibly annoying in a professional environment where people are hesitant to join with their personal account, plus some extra confusion when it auto-joins with the account signed into Chrome which is further aggravated by the poor multi-account management story that might still use your personal account when you have a business account.

terrible Linux support. Its hard to understand how a company whose products are built on a Linux platform and who use dogfood this product for all their internal needs, doesn't have good Linux support.
