Doesn't matter what you think, Big techs ceos are laughing their ass off every time their products gets mentioned and reach the frontpage. Purge their ads and remove their visibility
Maybe people can just use a different video calling program if the CEO of the company doesn't like people using it.
What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?
Skype and Lync had a baby called Teams.
And that baby should have been aborted
I have no problems with teams. Not sure why everyone hates it. If youre already in an AD/Azure environment and use 365 I dont see why you wouldnt use it.
Your not wrong. But hot take: it's better than slack.
Better for video, maybe. Better for chat, never!
Maybe it's because I have only ever been in free plan slack channe's, but I have never understood the appeal. Maybe it's the bots? I looked into making a teams bot, and it was a horrendous experience.
And as Teams continue to downgrade it's markdown support, it is becoming less and less appealing. I hate that I can't add language tags to code block with the triple back ticks, but it turns some of my code snippets to emojis. What the fuck man?
It's a tad more complicated:
Every now and then Teams breaks and shows it's just a thin layer over SharePoint
Thanks for jogging my memory, I corrected my comment.
It seems to still be around. I used to use it all the time back in the 2010-2015 period but as soon as Discord came out I switched to that and tried to get everyone I knew to also switch.
Like what? The technology sub is all about these big tech platforms, can you name some others?
Sorry are you asking me to list conferencing software for you? If you have a particular point to make can you just make it, I'm not ChatGPT.
