They had Skype! It was the verb for video calling for god's sake! How do you LOSE so BADLY so CONSISTENTLY and STILL have investors.

    Well there used to be an island where the majority of folks involved in these kind of deals went to, but the owner landed in some legal trouble and decided to hang somewhere else instead

    Sometimes I miss Microsoft Lync, but not often.

    I made this comment as a joke but I actually do miss that chats could be in separate windows. s far as I know most major corporate (and non corporate, looking at you Discord) chat platforms don't let you pop out windows.

    Edit: Okay, it's just Discord that's the problem then. It sort of supports it in that it will open the chat in your web browser, but then it does weird things like play the notification sound twice.

    You can pop out threads with a command click in Slack, but I don't know if you can change that to the default behaviour.

    Just threads? Not a chat room or DM?

    Edit: Just tried this on DMs and chat rooms and it works. Thanks so much for the tip! Another successful usage of Poe's Law, the best way to find an answer on the Internet is to post incorrect information and wait for someone to correct you!

    It's quite literally the first option on the three-dot menu of any Teams chat: "Open in new window"

    Oh nice, fortunately/unfortunately we don't use Teams for chats at my current company.

    Lucky, one company I work for had Teams, the other one - small-ish 20 people - self hosts Rocket Chat.

    That sounds neato. My main gripe with Teams (and I'm hoping someone will correct me again) is that you can't enter raw text into the editor (think like writing Markdown). It's just a WYSIWYG/rich editor. I really cannot fucking stand those things.
