What are we all using for video chat in 2023?

The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom... until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they updated it? Microsoft Teams? What?

Oh, everyone I know uses it so that didn't really hit the mark.
Really? Are you a web developer? Reporter? The only people I know on Signal are a reporter, who hates using it but needs to for sources, and a friend from undergrad (a tech school) who... probably doesn't use it anymore, I haven't actually been in touch with her.
It's functionally the same as WhatsApp, without the Facebook bullshit. It's not some weird utilitarian program to "hate" 😂
I use it to speak to all my friends and family.
Likely just not in the US. Many other countries never had unlimited texting plans, so messaging apps that could bypass SMS became very popular when they came about.
SMS is just old fashioned and outdated around the time we stopped using flipphones and T9
