Zoom is now critical infrastructure – that’s a concern

It goes in many combinations. Where I work now, it's Teams internally and Webex externally, with Zoom being explicitly banned, with at least two strongly worded e-mails reminding us to make it double plus sure we don't have the Zoom client installed.

At the same time, outside of work, I was videocalling people on Skype, and my wife had classes delivered via Zoom.

Not sure what' worse, Zoom or Teams. Seems like "pick your poison". A coworker once looked at Teams console. I had logged over 700 errors. Often we cannot hear people, although their tech is completely fine. It's just Teams being bug ridden and excluding people.

Seamless integration with office360, with that they can afford to have issues.

Not just that - in general, Zoom is just a videochat; Teams is an office productivity tool. It's pretty good at its function (I'm using it at work and I don't really have much to complain about, except the weird handling of code blocks in chat).

From reports in my circles, Teams is definitely worse. Most people i know seem fine with Zoom, but Teams seems universally hated.
