a different video calling program

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.

[–] [email protected] 4 points 1 year ago (2 children)

Better for video, maybe. Better for chat, never!

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?

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.

It's a tad more complicated:

  • Skype is still Skype
  • but Skype Enterprise is just a skin strapped over the og Lync (which sucks an order of magnitude more that a black hole)
  • ~~Team is a new product developped from scratch.~~
  • Team is an overhaul of sharepoint, I stand corrected.

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.
