Signal? Element (Matrix)?

Signal. Or Proton Meet for meetings.

Signal.

Also, Skype has been completed killed off by Microsoft.

Jitsi meet, fluxer

Matrix. Many apps available, Element is quite simple yet charming.

Honestly? Discord. When using a patched app (search for Morphe on android) it's quite bloat free once you strip all the nonsense.

For calls? I use normal calls because it just works and uses wifi anyway.

I've used signal for video calling quite a few times and while video quality can be randomly poor it works just fine

Delta-chat(and arcane-chat frontend) have video call built in.

It may be Jitsi based.

Session It's like Signal, but EU made and more private. It's a bit rough around the edges, but it's getting there.

Jitsi. https://jitsi.unredacted.org/

I used to use skype, but it doesnt exist anymore

Signal or proton meet

Gajim / Conversations / Monal via XMPP

Stoat

I honestly just use them for work and usually I don't have much choice then. Socialy I rather just see them in real space or talking on the phone is enough.

I heard Fluxer is good if you want something simpler with some sacrifices

proton meet.

Jami?
