Zoom for screen sharing and conference calls. It's incredible.

As other people have noted, I’ve had issues with zoom as well.

The most stable, easiest video conference and screen sharing tool I’ve found is http://appear.in

Zoom is amazing. I particularly appreciate that I can do videoconferencing with multiple people without the fans of my MBP making a lot of noise, as it is the case with skype or appear.in
We use Zoom and agree it's pretty great, but is there a similar product for doing whiteboarding remotely? Zoom's annotate thing leaves much to be desired...

Also, is there anything out there that does screensharing but with multiple cursors like Screenhero? Just did a search on HN and found this: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=15854137

Microsoft just released a beta of this: https://products.office.com/en-us/microsoft-whiteboard/digit...

It seems reasonably functional. I'm surprised it took so long for something like it to appear though.

Few pieces of software have caused as many kernel panics for me as zoom has. As great as it may be, I wish it were better.
How does Zoom compare to Skype, Teamviewer, or join.me?
