Slack

https://slack.com/

This is the best for chat.

Not so great for video conf calls.

Shame it's proprietary.

Microsoft Teams

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-teams/group-chat-software

Good for video conf calls but not that nice for chat.

Everybody loves to hate on it because it's not as slick as Slack.

Zoom

https://www.zoom.com/

Specializes in video conf calling

The free version cuts you off after some time, which isn't cool.

Skype

https://www.skype.com/en/

Used to be big but seems to have fallen out of favour in recent years.

WebEx

https://www.webex.com/

Cisco WebEx was one of the originals, but has fallen out of favour in recent years.
