The other video conferencing tools

Yes we all know about the big players: Zoom, Google Meet, Skype, Slack, Webex, Join.me, GotoMeeting (now owned by LogMeIn). And we know about the personal apps: Facetime, WhatsApp, WeChat, HouseParty, and even Instagram Live, YouTube Live. Also some chat adjacent players like GroupMe and Discord

What else is out there if those don't make you feel comfortable or meet your needs. First up the underdogs:

Probably the first two in the free video conference space i used "seriously" in business... seriously in quotes because i never saw any business pay for them and somehow they seem to have moved to the less favored status for reasons i don't understand.
