I'm averaging 3 a week, running 1 or 2 myself, but they're all social, not professional.

"Hate" is such a strong word, but apropos.
DW and I have done several virtual wine tastings with friends across the US. It is somewhat fun but a little awkward with folks "walking" on each other.

Didn't have much conference calls in working days, thankfully. Never have been one to enjoy using the phone that much even, not sure why. Prefer direct conversation where you get the body language and nuances that are lost even on zoom calls. Don't really consider myself that much of a social person, but do miss face to face with what few contacts I have these days. But, always have DW to talk with. And the dog. Both put up with my rantings quite politely.

I like using Skype to stay in touch with my brother. It's easy to use as a video phone. But our kids and grand kids will not have it. They wish we would get iPhones, like everyone else, so we could FaceTime. Pressure was great...we started using zoom and it is all better for now.
Skype is being updated, I think, to do conference calls.

There must be something good about Zoom. Stock price has 8fold difference in last year.
Another program I've just become familiar with and love is OBS Open Broadcasting Software. I've always wanted to screencast with a webcam simutaneously and this is free.

I only Zoom with folks I get along with, so major problem is remembering to put a piece of tape over the camera when I get up to refill my drink on a hot day.
