We currently use Zoom for video conferences, company meetings, demos, and presentations.
We use multiple tools depending on the purpose. We use Zoom for pair programming or sessions where people need to share control of the screen. We also recommend VS Live Share for Visual Studio or VSCode. Honorable mention to Meet by Google.
We love ScreenFlow and use it all the time to send little screencast demos of new features or how-tos. It's amazing and can natively export GIFs which has entirely replaced our use of GIF Brewery 3.
Update: We're working on our own project management tool. Check with @anna for details on how to get setup in the beta.
We use Asana to keep track of our projects. We have projects for onboarding, team coordination, etc. You should have received invites to the appropriate projects.
Most people run Trello as a macOS application using trello-macos-install.
