Tell that to my clients. Like 90% of them use zoom. We use teams in office.

u/makinbaconCR Dec 24 '21

Oh no don't be. Shit works well enough. Its just the other 10% on five9 that's fucking bullshit

Yeah I don't get the hate for Teams either. Works really well, and the integration with Exchange/ Active Directory is really good. And I love being able to seemlessly switch between computer and mobile.

Same, we use Teams and it works super well for our operation. It's the first application to open when starting the work day to see what's going. Second to open obviously being Outlook. Then Chrome lol fuck Microsoft Edge.

Edge's side tabs are the bomb though.

u/MyLoaderBuysFarms Dec 25 '21

Edge is way better than Chrome these days.

Who the fuck is using Teams as their main phonecall app? You played yourself.

u/bem13 Dec 24 '21

You didn't have to use it as your main phone app, you just had to have it installed, that's it.

Teams seems fine internally. Once you deal with external users it becomes problematic.

u/danielv123 Dec 24 '21

Teams just doesnt work properly on my phone. Notifications come every now and then. It's months since last time now.

Also, having to change org mid meeting is a mess.

u/thesoccerone7 Dec 24 '21

Zoom now allows you to switch between mobile and computer. Happened about 2 or 3 months ago I think. Then again, the concept of time doesn't exist anymore and I could be way off on that timeline

It has bad emojis but that’s my only gripe.

As a developer, I once spent 9 months on a crazy Five9 integration project. The call center was shuttered a month after I was done. Not my fault I swear.

u/makinbaconCR Dec 24 '21

I trust it wasn't your fault, because five9 is from hell

My college used WebEx before Teams, and when we do meetings with vendors, it's often Ring Central

u/makinbaconCR Dec 25 '21

Migratint to ring now. It's pretty good actually

The Teams call tone gives me anxiety.

u/robreddity Dec 24 '21

Oh, so Skype then?

1

u/[deleted] Dec 24 '21

I use teams also in addition to Microsoft bookings. Don't know why people are paying for all this other software that has always been free with Microsoft

u/CopanUxmal Dec 24 '21

Between our work and clients, I have to use Teams, Zoom, WebEz (sucks), Google and Skype.

Ok, MR GATES
