I'll echo Alex's comments. We've been using zoom.us here at LiquidSpace for the past 3+ years. Having used every web/video conf tool we can get our hands on, and having thousands of sessions under our belts with Zoom, I can state emphatically that its the best we've encountered. Much much easier to use for both call hosts and guests than the "legacy" tools (Webex, Gotomeeting). Noticably better audio and video fidelity than Google Hangout. Simpler overall experience than other newcomers (join.me, etc).
