Dunno why it's not in the repos. It's not FOSS though, just F :-)

It has excellent screen-share capabilities, much better than e.g
Discord. Chat is less convenient that Slack or Discord, and I have yet
to see a product, commercial or otherwise, to match Discord's superb
audio handling.

zoom also has a very useful whiteboarding feature.

We use zoom for all video and audioconferencing, and Mattermost for
instant messaging. I use the Linux zoom client and it is excellent.
though it doesn't integrate with Mattermost as well as on Windows.

Can highly recommend zoom. Free usage has some limitations, but they
very rarely get in the way, and we have purchased a subscription for
the few times they do. 

Regards, K.
