Hangouts Meet which I've had bad luck with but others have told me works well is free:

And MS Teams has a free trial (had good luck with this as well but don't like the interface as much as webex):

Webex is free right now, they just haven't really marketed it: https://help.webex.com/en-us/n80v1rcb/Cisco-Webex-Available-...

Jitsi is the primarily recommended alternative video conferencing tool here, which hasn't had anywhere near the security scrutiny that Zoom has had. I'd prefer to use the tool that we understand is moderately secure, though flawed, rather than the tool that is a security unknown. It seems a little much to recommend Jitsi as 'better', when nobody is really sure of that.
Zoom is still the best performing software. Alternatives fail in various ways. I wrote Emergency Remote[0], and for some companies thrown into the situation it is best to use it anyway. They can't handle more trouble during this time. [0] https://www.emergencyremote.com/EmergencyRemote.pdf
Also, what is your basis for saying Zoom has the best performance?

I fundamentally disagree. Webex has been around longer and despite the zoom founder trying to trash it, has been more reliable for me. They just apparently spent their money on building an enterprise-worthy app instead of marketing. https://help.webex.com/en-us/n80v1rcb/Cisco-Webex-Available-...
Edit: Ok, that took all of 10 seconds to get the first downvote. Seriously?

I recently tried Jami and think it was a great user experience. I love its decentralized nature, but just have nobody to use it with. I'm now using Discord and think its new screen sharing feature is very handy for lessons. The good thing about Discord is that its very popular.

We use Webex at work and it's pretty reliable. Only issue I can think of off the top of my head is on Windows, Webex will sometimes freeze. Some colleagues have attributed that to certain bluetooth devices. I've personally not had that happen but have been in meetings where it did.
