HouseParty

HouseParty

Not exactly a video call application hence the name suggests, HouseParty is the more fun-oriented app that also provides you with video conferencing capabilities. Most of the capabilities are free but if you want to play games through it (let’s call these teambuilding events) there are paid options within the app. Dire straits call for repurposed solutions, obviously.

WhatsApp

WhatsApp
WhatsApp

The most popular messaging app is Whatsapp and it is the default calling app for most of the mobile users whether it is just voice or video. The only problem with the calls are they are limited to four people. For small teams, it is perfectly okay but for larger teams, WhatsApp can only serve as a text messaging app. While it is practical to use WhatsApp in every possible situation sometimes voice lags and you end up interrupting each other.

Facebook Messenger

Even a greater security concern than Zoom itself, Facebook Messenger enhanced its capabilities in recent years and added video call support. Text messaging with fancy stickers and voice calls were also available for some time. Facebook Messenger can support up to six people at a time on the screen, but 50 people can participate in the conversation.
