20 Best Video Conferencing Software Of 2025

Whereby is the video conferencing tool of choice for large companies like HubSpot, Netflix, Ikea, Spotify and Shopify. Their platform supports customizations like integrating your company branding and personalizing the look and feel of your meeting room. It’s a useful system for corporate meetings—as well as virtual classes, events and workshops—since you can use their Breakout Groups feature to divide participants up into smaller working groups for more manageable conversations. To help improve user engagement, participants can also inject a little fun into their meetings using live emoji reactions.

Each meeting host receives their own designated URL that doesn’t change from meeting to meeting. This makes it easy to quickly connect with your team members without having to scramble for their info if you want to meet on the fly. To maintain the integrity of your meeting, their ‘knock to enter’ feature prevents participants from dropping in on a meeting unexpectedly, which can be a problem in other systems using permanent links. Instead, Whereby gives meeting hosts the power to choose who can enter the meeting room, and when.

Whereby integrates with common productivity tools like Google Docs, Microsoft Outlook, Miro, Slack, Trello, and YouTube.

Whereby has a freemium plan that works for 1 host and 1 room URL with up to 100 meeting participants for meetings 45 minutes or less. After that, pricing for their paid plans starts at $6.99/month. A free trial is also available via their website.

Zoho’s video conferencing software helps teams collaborate through audio and video with up to 300 participants in each call, with 25 active video feeds displayed at once.

You can use their platform to share meeting agendas in advance of the call using their all-in-one app, or share content live while you’re streaming.

One very impressive feature is their built-in AI functionality that transcribes meeting notes for you in real-time as you’re presenting. Beyond just transcribing, their AI feature called Voice Intelligence also tracks keywords, detects customer sentiment, and can even automate post-call summaries. Their advanced AI technology combines natural language processing, machine learning and voice recognition so it can easily detect who is speaking and convert their speech word-for-word with great accuracy. This is a very useful feature for businesses hosting video sales calls, or those running contact center teams, as it creates a written record of your customer interactions. It’s a fully optional feature though, so you can easily switch it off for any sensitive video calls if you need to.

Virtual Meetings is their premium video conferencing software, but they also have video conferencing solutions for webinars and live streaming events, a telehealth platform for modern virtual care, and a video gateway for Microsoft Teams.

Within their Virtual Meetings product you can choose a fun virtual background for your meeting, or blur your backdrop for added privacy. You can also display up to 25 participants on the screen at once, or move participants into smaller breakout groups for more focused discussions.

One of the most interesting features are the productivity tools in their Smart Meetings software. With Smart Meetings, teams can use meeting highlights to flag critical meeting moments where decisions, new ideas, or action items are determined.
