Is Zoom the best though? Google Hangouts seems to be just as good.

I tried Google Hangouts on Firefox on Linux but couldn't get it to work at all. It just errored out before starting the call.

I can’t say what happened there (Hangouts works fine for me in Firefox), but Zoom won’t let you use Firefox at all if you want audio.

Tried it literally 2 hours ago. Didn't work, had to switch to chrome.

(Windows 10, if it matters. IIRC I had the same experience on linux)
