You're fucking disgusting. You'd force people to use Teams?

I love the skeumorphic campfire style room layout of Teams, with the talking heads. It's hilarious.

Hah, I laughed. But seriously, I don’t love Teams overall, but for business video conferencing, what’s actually better? I’d take Teams over Zoom or Google Meet. Haven’t tried any others.

Phew, wasn't sure that would land :)

For video conferencing only, it's pretty okay. It's that it's terrible for instant messaging and group chats and everything else that it gets used for that makes it an exercise in getting papercut to death.

Meet is a lot friendlier about not having to download a client and just use a web browser, so that's nice for clients. It's not great for messaging and group chats either though.

The problem with Zoom is that a lot of people use it for personal use, but aren't tech savvy enough, so occasionally you'll get PantsPooper69 joining a business meeting until they change it right after joining, if they notice.

I laugh. Then I cry a little as I put on my wired headset with boom mike for another teams call... :-P

I used a couple of Plantronics 5200 until they died (~ 4-5 years each) and they were excellent for a wireless headset. Pods are indeed dubious.
