This year has been a huge year for Zoom,Busty Cops on Patrol (2009) as families and friends around the world have turned to the video chat service to stay in touch during the COVID-19 pandemic. Microsoft Teams just barreled into the room to make Zoom look a little silly by comparison.
According to The Verge, Microsoft's primarily business-focused video call app is getting a free tier with a 24-hour time limit on calls just in time for the holidays.
As many as 300 people can jam into one room, with a gallery view that can display up to 49 of them on one screen. (Zoom has a max of 100 participants for Basic and Pro users.) There's also a feature called Together Mode that will arrange everyone's video feeds so it looks like they're sitting together in a theater or coffee shop. If your family is that big, feel free to go nuts with Microsoft Teams — and good luck following the conversation.
Calls can be started and joined from a web browser so you don't need to download an app. Whoever starts the call will need a Microsoft account, which you should have on hand if you've ever used Office or an Xbox but is pretty easy to set up if you haven't. Crucially, folks who don't have Microsoft accounts can join calls.

Microsoft could start enforcing limits on the free version of Teams in the near future. But as it stands, Teams is probably a better option than Zoom for the next couple of months. Zoom still has a 40-minute limit on free calls, though it will be temporarily lifted on Thanksgiving.
