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!
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:
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.
