My group has been using Skype for years now. Aside from it adding the
ability to record sessions, over time it has been getting worse, not
better - less able to adjust stuff, refusing to let you change the app's
window to certain sizes and shapes, etc. If Zoom didn't have that time
limit on conversations when you aren't a paying customer we'd consider
moving, but that's just strikes some of the players as an excessive
annoyance.
