Teams is the new Skype

> everyone has Teams for free

Prevalent sentiment at my workplace: Teams integrates well for outlook meetings, but it‘s a CPU hog, has crappy chat UI.

It paralyzes work to the extent, that I only prefer to use Slack. Or zoom for bigger video calls.

Exactly. I work at a large financial company and we have: Teams, Slack, Skype and Zoom.

- Zoom for large team meeting

- Slack for collaboration between our teams

- Skype for upper management meetings who are still only know Skype

- Teams is free with office subscription and our company has been pushing everyone to use it instead of using slack but everyone hates Teams. Terrible UI and slow

how is UI terrible? I've been amazed by Teams and what it offers to me out of the box..

I've been using slack/mattermost/discord And functionality wise only discord can be onpar with teams.
