Just yesterday I was in a conversation about tools and I started a spreadsheet of different video / remote tools.
So far people have mentioned: Zoom Kast Crowdcast Slack Google Hangouts Google duo MS Teams discord Wechat Whatsapp Facebook/facetime Kakao Line Youtube live Meetaway It would be interesting to me to know what criteria/features you would use to evaluate these. I am trying to run workshops of 25-35 people. And on May13 I have a 250 person event I am trying to run. So I am all ears about how you are thinking about video tools and evaluating them. I just saw a conversation on the facilitators mailing list about the use of Miro and Mural and the bandwidth requirements. So that is also an Issue.
