You guys still use Skype???? It's not 2012.

Yea we still use Skype to chat, but we do have teams and zoom for video calls

likefunny

No, but I started at the firm before teams was adopted. Pretty much just preference at this point

Really?!? I thought Deloitte was the most tech advanced?!

Same. I transferred from EY to Deloitte and Skype kills me but every time.

Microsoft Teams

like

Teams is a cluster. Too much going on, too many "teams" and disorganized due to Microsoft's inability to allow sorting and filtering on teams. Skype may be dated, but for simple IM it does the trick without the noise. And ZOOM is light-years better than Teams for video and regular calls (compression is way better and doesn't bog down machine). You could use Zoom to chat too (actually pretty good) but no one does.

Hasn’t Microsoft killed Skype yet? Sheesh.

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

We have motion sensor lights in my office and the sensor is far from my desk. Consequently, if I'm on a long WebEx, the lights go out and it's embarrassing. The building won't change the sensor. Anyone find a solution for this (aside from standing up and moving, which would be very awkward)? I can't rearrange my office.
