teams or slack and why

Teams.
It’s because the user interface is so awful, people use it way less than Slack, so they don’t bug me nearly as much. Therefore Teams helps my sanity. The Slack sound gives me anxiety.

Teams, I like having files & chat in one central place.

like

Slack. Between the two agencies I’ve worked at during the pandemic, it was the one that used Slack (as opposed to Gchat in this case), that was able to maintain a solid culture while working remotely. And that was primarily because they had non-work-related channels for people to join — everything from channels to post about your pets, share recipes, talk about the latest episode of The Bachelor, movies, book clubs, HIITS, parents, LGBTQ, Asian Alliance, and so forth. Basically there was a channel for however you identified and whatever your interest was. I feel like because Slack is agnostic to other “work” tools like Microsoft and G-Suite, it’s easier to use it for “water cooler” moments. And while theoretically, you could make similar channels on Teams or Gchat/Spaces, but the UX is so terrible on those that they just don’t enable the same behaviors.

Slack is 100% better. But I also had to change the sound to something else bc the default one will make you tweak out.

Agencies only use teams when 1) they have Microsoft business, or 2) the CIO already has made a lot of Microsoft commitments and Teams is just easier.

Teams because it feel more friendly and has a better interface.

Slack. I trust them to be around longer because they are more than just an "add-on" service.

Slack is much more intuitive and I prefer the interface as well

Slack! For all the reasons already said..

Slack. Easier to use, more intuitive.

Teams is so integrated. I just don’t get why anyone would prefer slack

Both are decent. I found Slack’s interface more intuitive/simple than Microsoft’s at first. It’s primary user is more using Slack for 1-on-1 type of conversations, and doesn’t have the more advanced group options the Team’s does.

Microsoft clearly designed Teams for more of a large business needs. It tends emphasize more of the concepts of groups chats and meetings, with more features geared towards this. Large organizations needing big group meetings, conversations.

The short: Would anyone be up for starting regular virtual co-working sessions? I’m thinking 2-3 rounds of [5 mins to set intentions : 45 mins of work : 10 min break]. The long: One technique I’ve found to stay focused is “body doubling,” i.e., having another person present while you’re working. I’ve had some success replicating this over Zoom/Google Meet. Everyone works on their own thing and stays muted during work blocks, but videos stay on. It reminds me of studying in the library vs at home

IEP, 504, and those without internet will return in-person next week while rest of students remain remote. Regular Ed teachers may have students (mild Learning Disabled kiddos) in their room while teaching. They are saying it’s a liability issue if they have one student in the room with them, even though teaching other via Zoom. Thoughts? Anyone else experiencing this?
