Is there any video chat service that isn't? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it's not like I could just use a FOSS thing that's better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you're going to be talking to is using. :(
I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well
Yeah same, I remember initially feeling the Outlook integration was extremely clunky, for example, but there's a big simplicity to being able to grab a recurring meeting link and then just attach it to any meeting regardless of whether it's rescheduled or has an unusual pattern.
Teams is much more annoying in this regard since it pretty much requires calendar integration for the meeting to work. Trying to set up any new meeting regenerates the meeting link, and it's maddening. Like just let these two things not be connected if I want.
slack is really good, as long as teams doesn't fuck with you a/v settings.
still not as good as zoom. but, fuck china.
WebEx is night and day better than everything else imo. The only advantage teams has is NDI, but otherwise it's a complete joke in every other comparison.
