I'll second this. I recently moved to a project that uses Outlook/Skype/Exchange for everything, and Skype is the bane of my experience. Why do I need a window for contacts separate from the actual conversations? Why do I need email recaps of every conversion, often times with redundant messages? Why can't I have a group chat that's intended to be a permanent 'room', and not just a collection of people who are virtually meeting? Skype intends you to exit the chat windows, and that's not how I use chat apps.
- nxc18 9y agoIs that Skype for business? I’m similarly stuck using it at work and it is uniquely awful. We’ve been using it for years, but the video chat UI is so bad people struggle with it every single meeting. Even I forget from time to time.
- megaman22 9y agoThat's definitely Skype for Business, and it is a trainwreck. It's also standing on foundations that are at least 15 years old, from the pre-Slack era of instant messaging - it works essentially the same as AIM, or SameTime, or Pidgin, or any of the IM clients of that era. Good news for you, SFB is most likely going away soon; Microsoft is seemingly hell bent on rolling all of the things into Teams.
- Joeri 9y agoDon’t worry, they’ll make sure to replace teams with something else as soon as teams threatens to become a universal solution for business.
- martimarkov 9y agoSFB is in my opinion just Lync still. They just changed the name and the design. Nothing else that I can see changed.
