GoToMeeting and alternatives - issues?

[BradInATX 9208]

Had issues twice in the last two days using GoToMeeting for client calls. Anyone else having the same issue? 

Any suggestions for a free or cheap backup plan? I know some of the services offer a free trial or a kneecapped version, maybe I can use one of those. I just need to have something working in place by a critical meeting on Monday.

TIA

Zoom

Although they might have a time limit for meetings on their free plan

Is it actually working today that you know of? Client I just got off a call with said her kid's school is using it and it's all FUBAR. But schools might be on a different app/server than their business offering.

Yeah I've been using it all day without any problems

I use Zoom and Skype.  The free version of Zoom does have a 40 minute limit on meetings that you host.  All of the calls that I host are internal, so a 40 minute time limit is awesome because it keeps the Chatty Cathies honest.

Teams and Skype.  I have to say my corporate VPN is solid and I’m going to quit bitching about my indirect cost to IT.

We use zoom here.  Initially it automatically made the call video which led to some high comedy.

try discord

Actually, googling around a bit more, looks like they might not have video as a feature anymore. For straight audio it's phenomenal though, and always up.

we use zoom and didn't have any issues today with it.

we use google hangouts as well and haven't seen any issues. It's free.
