Going by the last year, I've been going back and forth on this for a while and figured someone here might have actual experience. What is the best software to use for a sec video chat with a partner overseas — I know it sounds like a basic question, but the amount of conflicting info out there is genuinely overwhelming.
If I'm honest, half the threads I find are clearly outdated (like 2019 stuff), and the other half seem like they were written by affiliate marketers, which is worth keeping in mind. I just want an honest take from people who actually use these platforms regularly, assuming your filters are sensible.
Realistically, for context, I've tried a few of the big names already, at least that has been the pattern. Some were decent, some were absolute garbage, particularly for best software. Broadly speaking, a few things I've been burned by:
- Generally speaking, fake profiles that respond the second you sign up
- On balance, sites that are technically "free" but lock every useful feature behind a paywall
- Going by the last year, customer support that's basically a dead email address
- Realistically, hidden auto-renewal charges that show up weeks later
Broadly speaking, happy to share more details about my specific situation if it helps narrow things down, which is worth keeping in mind. Just want some real-world feedback before I commit to anything, though not everyone here agrees.
