Top 5 popular communication platforms

Zoom

This platform “took off” during the coronavirus pandemic. It is designed for video conferencing. Zoom was used both for corporate purposes (for communication between company employees) and for personal purposes (“meeting” with friends at a distance). At some point, the platform found itself in the middle of a scandal as user data was leaked and its distribution narrowed, but it still remains one of the most popular of these platforms.

Discord

A similarly feature-rich free messenger that allows for video chatting was launched seven years ago. Initially, the platform was mainly used by gamers to connect with like-minded people. In 2020, the service became popular and in demand by a wide range of people, thanks also to a separate browser version.

Clubhouse

The service, which is unique in its kind, became popular two years ago. The principle of its work is simple: users go to virtual rooms of interesting people, acquaintances, media personalities in order to communicate by means of voice messages. The platform owes its popularity to such famous people as Mark Zuckerberg, Ilon Musk, and others who occasionally use Klabhaus. The popularity of the platform has sparked the emergence of many similarly feature-rich platforms, but it still remains at the top.

Omegle

Has been around longer than many other user-demanded platforms – since 2009. It is an anonymous video chat service that has seen its popularity rise and fall many times. During the pandemic, there was another surge of interest in the site, despite a number of flaws. For example, there are a lot of bots, fakes, there are problems with moderation, and the design is behind the trends.

ChatRandom

Similar to Omegle, this one has some interesting solutions. For example, filters by geo-location or gender. This makes it easier to find potentially interesting interlocutors. A “chat room” option is available for chatting with several users at the same time. Girl chat rooms are also available for a fee.

CooMeet

It’s an online video chat service but targeted at a specific audience. For men who are interested in communication with the opposite sex. Advantages of the service is that the girls are tested and confirm their data in order to register. Thus, users are protected from communicating with bots, fakes. It is considered that CooMeet has a carefully designed gender filter. Taking into account specifics of the service girls come here with a particular purpose of communication. Both a browser-based version and a mobile app for major software platforms are available.

GooglMe

This is also a service for anonymous video chatting, but it has a more elaborate filter by geo-position. Another advantage of the site compared to similar ones is the presence of a built-in translator. This option opens up a wide range of possibilities for comfortable communication with foreigners. Depending on your preferences and goals, you can choose any of the described services to communicate or use more than one. Each of them has its own advantages and disadvantages.
