We use Zoom.us at my startup and it works great. Not very updated UI design but so much better than Hangouts

We use zoom ( https://zoom.us ) and works quite well. Beside that, I heard a lot of good things about Jitsi ( https://jitsi.org )

We use the open source Jitsi Meet tool[1], hosted on our own infrastructure with no third party in-between.

Screen sharing is a bit unstable, but conferencing is rock-solid. It's connected to our phone system so people can call in and out [2].

Yeah, Zoom has been good for us. It's good quality, and you can still see other participants during a presentation.

On the free plan there's a one hour cap to meetings, which is ideal as nobody wants to be in a meeting longer than an hour.

In my remote team we use appear.in. It's a great product.
