Ask HN: Best video chat applications for remote working?
I&#x27;m managing a remote team of developers at the moment, and my intention has been to use video chat via Skype or Google Hangouts for daily standups, planning meetings, etc.<p>(Why video? Because the sense of human connection is much stronger, in my experience, and also body language helps a lot with communication.)<p>However, on both Skype and Google Hangouts, we&#x27;ve had a pretty awful experience so far. Video dropping frequently, hangups, lag - it&#x27;s not smooth, and it increases the length of each meeting by a measurable amount.<p>Can anyone recommend a better &#x2F; smoother &#x2F; more stable alternative for remote working?
