Video calls are now a routine work tool: you can discuss project changes, approve an estimate, or hold a team meeting.
When screen sharing matters, the app affects the outcome: you either show exactly what you need or spend the meeting adjusting settings and explaining things.
Below are seven video calling apps: conference services, messengers, and the 101 App, where a call in the web version can become a presentation of your way of working. For a client call, three things usually matter most: an easy joining link, reliable screen sharing, and a way to save the recording or the decisions.
- Zoom
- Google Meet
- Microsoft Teams
- TrueConf
- Telegram
- 101 App
Zoom for video calls
Zoom is often chosen when a call becomes a meeting with several participants, an agenda, a presentation, and questions. Its screen sharing is designed for that format: you can share the whole screen or a particular window and keep everyone focused on the material.
If you are presenting calculations, a work plan, or a materials selection to a client, recording the meeting can help you check the wording and deadlines later. Set up basic safeguards in advance: a passcode, a waiting room, and screen sharing permissions.
Google Meet for video calls
Google Meet is useful when calls are tied to your calendar and email. You create a meeting as an event, participants receive invitations and reminders, and then join through a browser or mobile app.
Meet supports meeting recording, subject to the account type, and screen sharing. Before the call, check that the organizer can record and that the computer has screen capture permission.
Microsoft Teams for video calls
Microsoft Teams works well when conversations, files, groups, and meetings already live in Microsoft 365. In that setting, a call is part of a project context that also contains documents and decisions.
Teams supports screen sharing in calls and meetings. A recording captures audio, video, and shared screen content. Organizations may have policies governing storage and access, so check who may start a recording and who can access it afterward.
TrueConf for video calls
TrueConf is an option for organizations that need a conferencing service focused on administration, control, and business use. Construction teams may consider it as a dedicated tool for calls where they need to manage the meeting and show project materials.
TrueConf supports screen sharing and conference recording, including the content a speaker presents. That lets a recording preserve both the spoken discussion and the calculations or drawings shown on screen.
Telegram for video calls
Telegram is convenient when the client or team already uses the messenger and needs a call right away. You can keep the discussion, files, and a pinned summary in one place.
Telegram supports group video calls and screen sharing. According to Telegram, screen sharing is also available in one-to-one calls, including device audio, which is useful when showing a presentation or an app.
WhatsApp for video calls
WhatsApp may be the easiest way to reach a client who does not want another app. For a short one-to-one discussion or screen share, you can start a call and show what is on your device.
WhatsApp introduced screen sharing in 2023. In early 2026, industry publications also reported a beta rollout of calls in WhatsApp Web and mentioned screen sharing in the web client.
101 App for video calls
People usually think of 101 App as a way to organize project accounting and work. In the web version, you can also make a video call and share your screen to show a client how you manage a project. The conference recording is available to everyone who participated. During the call, you can share your phone screen by scanning a QR code. Open the web version at 101-app.com.
Instead of describing your process, show the figures, documents, and decisions. For example, if a client asks how a total was calculated, you can walk through the price list, work items, estimate, and report. The Help center explains how to create a price list in the web version. If you maintain several price lists, see the article about updating price lists.
How to present a project over a video call in 101:
- Prepare the project: check the categories, price list, estimate, and payments you plan to show.
- Open the 101 web version on your computer and find the right section before the client joins.
- Start a video call and share your screen. Show the project structure first, then the price list, estimate, and report.
- After the call, send the client the final report and a useful article that records the agreed approach. You can find guides in the About the app section of the 101 blog.
