最佳视频(Best Video)通话和网络(Web)会议工具
在此列表中，虽然Signal是进行视频通话的最安全的应用程序，但在功能方面却是最有限的。另一方面，Microsft Teams提供全面的功能和安全性，以及视频通话。
1]微软团队
如果您正在寻找Zoom的可靠替代品，Microsoft Teams是您应该关注的。正如我所说，它只适用于那些认真的人。微软(Microsoft)将此作为其Office 365的一部分提供，但最近也向家庭(Famil)成员开放了它。问题是，从您注册之日起一年内免费。
- 用于个人、团体和完整团队聚会的内置音频和视频通话。
- 最多300人免费
- 无限的聊天消息和搜索。
- 10 GB 团队文件存储空间以及每人额外 2 GB 的个人存储空间
要进行视频通话，您需要选择频道和团队，然后单击“立即开会(Meet)”视频按钮开始视频通话。
2] Skype和Skype见面
Skype Meet是 Zoom的绝佳替代品，它提供了Zoom必须提供的几乎所有功能。您可以进行与群组聊天集成的群组视频通话、创建会议并选择谁可以加入。此外，还有最近推出的Skype立即开会功能。(Skype Meet)它允许每个人在不安装应用程序或使用Microsoft帐户登录的情况下加入会议Skype 。使用Skype Meet很容易。只有主持人需要拥有Skype应用程序。他可以生成Meet Now 视频会议链接，可以与每个人个人共享。
3]信号
Signal是最安全的消息传递应用程序(most secure messaging apps)之一， 在社区中很受欢迎，它真正关心隐私和安全。它类似于Telegram 和 WhatsApp(Telegram and WhatsApp)，但非常安全。 Signal提供了一种视频通话功能，该功能使用其开源Signal Protocol是安全的。但是，没有群组视频通话，最好用于一对一视频通话。
要进行视频通话，请打开联系人，然后点击视频图标开始通话。您可以选择禁用音频和视频，稍后再启用。这个应用程序的唯一缺点是没有可用的群组视频通话。
4]谷歌环聊/会议
虽然它不是很受欢迎，但Google Hangouts/Meet是一个不错的选择，如WhatsApp、Skype和FaceTime。在加密方面，它不提供端到端加密，它非常适合一次播放多达 250 人的视频。如果您只打算流式传输，那么您可以一次性向数千人流式传输。
5] WhatsApp视频通话
如果您正在寻找最多四个人的休闲视频通话，那么WhatsApp是一个不错的选择。要发起群组视频通话，您需要启动一个参与者，然后点击右上角的“添加参与者”按钮，然后从列表中邀请联系人。（最多四个）。如果您所在的组或国家/地区可以访问Whatsapp，那么您应该使用它。
6]FaceTime
如果您拥有 iPhone，那么您已经知道它了。Apple为其所有设备提供此功能，并且是视频安全应用程序之一。您可以将多人（最多 32 人）添加到视频聊天中，并提供端到端加密。开始Facetime群组通话的最佳方式是让所有人加入群组聊天，然后在屏幕顶部点击您正在与之交谈的联系人群组，然后点击FaceTime图标。它将群聊中的每个人都添加到视频通话中。macOS 上也提供相同的功能，因此它不必一直是您的手机。
如果您正在寻找与朋友进行因果视频通话，最好使用FaceTime和WhatsApp等应用程序。如果您只需要与一小群人举行会议，Skype是您的最佳选择，最后，如果您需要通过聊天管理大型群组，那么Microsoft Teams最适合这种情况。

Best Video calling and Web conferencing tools
In this list, while Signal is the most secure app to make a video call, it is the most limited when it comes to features. On the other hand, Microsft Teams offers comprehensive features and security, along with video calling.
1] Microsoft Teams
If you are looking for a reliable alternative to Zoom, Microsoft Teams is what you should be looking at. As I said, it’s only for those who are serious. Microsoft offers this as part of its Office 365 but has recently opened it for Famil members as well. The catch is that it is free for one whole year from the day you signup.
- Built-in audio and video calling for individuals, groups, and full team meetups.
- Free for up to 300 people
- Unlimited chat messages and search.
- 10 GB of team file storage plus an additional 2 GB per person for personal storage

2] Skype and Skype Meet
Skype Meet an excellent alternative to zoom, which offers almost all the functions Zoom has to offers. You can make group video calls integrated with group chats, create a meeting, and choose who can join in. Along with this is the Skype Meet Now feature, which was recently launched. It allows everyone to join a meeting Skype without installing the app or signing in using a Microsoft account. Using Skype Meet is easy. Only the host is required to have a Skype app. He can generate the Meet Now video conferencing link, which can be shared with everyone personally.
3] Signal
One of the most secure messaging apps, Signal, is popular among the community, which genuinely cares about privacy and security. It is similar to Telegram and WhatsApp, but a lot secure. Signal offers a video calling feature which is secure using its open-source Signal Protocol. However, there is no group video call and is best used for one to one video calling.
To make a video call, open the contact, and then tap on the video icon to start the call. You can choose to disable audio and video, and only enable it later. The only drawback of this app is that there is no group video calling available.
4] Google Hangouts/Meet
While it is not very popular, but Google Hangouts/Meet is a good alternative like WhatsApp, Skype, and FaceTime. When it comes to encryption, it doesn’t offer end-to-end encryption, its great for videos call for up to 250 people in one go. And if you only plan to stream, then you can stream to thousands of people in one go.
5] WhatsApp Video Call
If you are looking for a casual video call for up to four people, then WhatsApp is a great choice. To place a group video call, you need to start one participant, and then tap the “Add Participant” button on the top right corner, and then invite the contact from the list. (maximum of four). If Whatsapp is accessible in your group or country, then you should use it.
6] FaceTime
If you own an iPhone, you already know about it. Apple offers this to all its devices and is among the secure apps to video. You can add multiple people, up to 32 people, to video chat, and offers end to end encryption. The best way to start a group Facetime call is to ask everyone to join a group chat, and then tap on the group of contacts you’re talking to at the top of the screen, then hit the FaceTime icon. It will add everyone in the group chat to the video call. The same feature is also available on macOS, so it doesn’t have to be your phone all the time.
If you are looking for causal video calling with your friends, it is best to use apps like FaceTime and WhatsApp. If you need only to hold meetings with a small group, Skype is the way to go, and lastly, if you need to manage big groups with chat, then Microsoft Teams works best for that scenario.
