Been using Slack for chat sessions and between session discussions. Slack is awesome. I'm currently running a mystery/investigation-heavy sandbox adventure and I love that I can upload files and save posts so the player's can have for reference. The chat features are great too. Also great to be able to message players directly with secret information.
We've also been just using FaceTime and recently tried Zoom. Zoom looks cool, especially for the DM, since you can share your screen and mark it up in real-time.
However, with all these different options, I'm starting to consider investing the money - and more importantly, time - to learn a VTT app like Roll20.
However, the biggest problem right now is webcams are out of stock everywhere! Players in my group have a mix of phones, tablets, and laptops/PCs with webcams but it seems like you really need everyone on a webcam for the best experience.
I know for me, as the DM, it's tricky for me to run a session because I don't have a webcam so I need to have my iPad running with FaceTime or Zoom.
