I use vesktop, a heavily customisable and privacy friendly Discord app for this exact reason.

I literally want to video chat my friends for D&D and the occasional Minecraft and get one of the most tedious and bloated pieces of software in existence. Why does my calling program have mini games, paid emotes and lag like a truck? I genuinely don't believe I have a hope in hell getting my friends off it, so that's my compromise.

Discord being used like a wiki or forum can die though. Who thought a chat log was a good place to have guides and news, and how the hell has that not died long ago?
