Pretty much no reason to use zoom for casual conversation soon, probably will keep its business use.

Between Zoom, Teams, WA and Skype, what need do I have for the Apple variant?

And everyone just ignores Google Duo, which has been available on Android, Windows, Apple, and smart displays for years.

Was there ever? Discord exists, after all.

This...Oh well, I guess I don't have to bust out my aging, damaged iPad Mini when I need to 'Facetime' somebody...

I've never used video chat for casual conversation. But people just used Skype or Hangouts for that already, not Zoom.

Usually people just stick with the first thing in the space that they've gotten used to. Facetime is unlikely to unseat Zoom any time soon because most people are used to Zoom.

Had Facetime gotten into the space sooner, then maybe it'd be the top app.

But it's was only on Apple/iOS, for the most part, rite? And most ppl have either Windows (PC) or Android (Phone)

Yeah really. Why would anyone switch from whatever they're currently using? I see no features facetime offers that isn't already available somewhere else; therefore no reason to switch.

Umm, why are you using the inferior Skype instead of the superior Discord? and for that matter Teams? or anything like that made by M$.

Discord streams do not work properly for me. Audio works just fine. I have not used Skype in a few months, but it is still the one that works by far the best for me.
Teams I have to use because of uni.

I had to use teams for work. But I decided to keep video off since everybody else did...
