Jitsi is free with support for up to 75 people. It’s a bit like creating a WhatsApp group. You can then share the name around to whoever you want to join. You create a meeting by choosing a name for it. We did find it a bit tricky to use, though, but this shouldn’t put you off. It’s free and you don’t need to sign up – which is really good for data protection.
It did really well when it comes to a patchy network, so if you struggle with your internet, it’s a good choice. You might not have heard of Jitsi, but it’s software that's often used by schools. Skype is free with support for up to 50 people, although you'll have to buy Skype credits if you want to call a regular landline or mobile phone number.
There’s a wide array of useful and fun features – such as a virtual background, so you can pretend you’re at the beach (or wherever takes your fancy), and speech recognition subtitles for poor audio or people with impaired hearing. Plus, there’s now a web feature, so you can set up a call without even downloading anything. You can sign in with an existing Outlook email account, or set one up. It’s a great free platform for home use, with consistently good audio and video quality. Skype has been around long enough for years of development, and it’s topped our tests. We also look out for things like multi-factor authentication, which helps to make your account more secure. This ensures that password policies are strong enough that a hacker won’t be able to guess them.
