Maybe people can just use a different video calling program if the CEO of the company doesn't like people using it.

a different video calling program

What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?

[-] JackbyDev@programming.dev 12 points 11 months ago

Skype and Lync had a baby called Teams.

[-] oozynozh@lemm.ee 15 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] PlutoniumAcid@lemmy.world 4 points 11 months ago

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?

[-] echindod@programming.dev 1 points 11 months ago

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.

[-] Rambi@lemm.ee 3 points 11 months ago

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?

[-] Rambi@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago

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.
