Just started at an organization that uses teams to chat and zoom for meetings. It’s literally day 1 and I already want to propose we streamline it all to teams but don’t want to be “that” person but don’t understand how this is even a thing!!!!

I hate Zoom slightly less than Teams so not sure where I stand on this 🤔. I really wish Slack was more widely accepted. I liked using it way more than any of these other tools.

Just start using teams to create meetings

Just for a counter point - our zoom is integrated with outlook so there’s not really any additional “seams” that make zoom an inferior choice. Also, I’ve had way more audio issues with teams than I have with zoom, and my teams has been known to crash when I try to join meetings, another problem I don’t have with zoom. So, yes it’s nice that in theory it’s all integrated and seamless, it in practice causes me more issues than zoom does and mirrors certain integration points that teams has, rendering those less impactful benefits

Could be worse, many at Deloitte use skype for IM, Zoom for video calls, and Teams for collaboration lol

Zoom is way better for external parties. So it is just easier to be in one platform.

Really I’m surprised zoom is considered better besides preference. I have done multiple projects with external parties (implementation partners) / vendors and never had a problem using teams

Zoom is AIDS

We use teams for messaging and zoom for conferencing. I hate hate hate when people use teams meetings and would greatly prefer not to.

In the past we had separate messaging and conference platforms without issue.. just because there is a solution that has both, doesn’t mean it’s the right choice for your org
