Skype for business? Teams is way better than that.

I mean its not great but I feel like on Windows at least (idk about Mac or Linux) it's just distinctly average.

The only thing about teams that drove me crazy in the years of having to suffer it its search function and how the mobile app puts the logout action into settings (I lost my mind once trying to find it).

Nah skype for business was the bomb. It worked exactly like 2005 MSN messenger, was simple, efficient, and screen sharing and video calling was hard so people wouldn't start a damn video call or ask me to join a video call for things that should be a damn email.

Except that keeping track of chats was as much of a pain as it is in teams. Things that were absolutely not a problem in MSN messenger in 2004

Every single chat I had in skype for business caused a transcript to be emailed to me.

Like I want more emails. Why did Skype start a blank chat every time I talked to someone? Close the chat? Bam, go find that transcript
