Microsoft: Cloud services demand up, prioritization rules in place

Yeah Slack themselves use Zoom. Slack is a channel based messaging tool, it integrates with best of class video tools like Zoom and file storage tools like Box or even SharePoint.

Teams does it all OKish, although the channel based messaging is probably the worst part.

It's sort of wrong to look at Teams as a Slack replacement. Well, it is for who just want chat, and don't care about channel messaging.

Integration seems like the ideal path for Slack. Make it easy and seamless to use any third party service from Slack rather than trying to build functionality directly into it other than the core group/direct chat stuff.

It's pretty easy for Teams too.

I don't particularly like Teams, nor do I like Slack, but there is nothing feature-wise, today, that would make me choose Slack over Teams. Teams also plays much better with OneDrive and Outlook, obviously.

I think Slack is now a goner. They will be acquired in 5 years tops.

Perhaps they can be the Google chat product that survives?

RIP slack, you tried, but 0 chance against MS/win/office monopoly.

How is video conferencing not a core chat thing?
