Maybe people can just use a different video calling program if the CEO of the company doesn't like people using it.

What happened to Skype? Did it just become the basis of Teams?

Skype and Lync had a baby called Teams.

And that baby should have been aborted

Your not wrong. But hot take: it's better than slack.

I have no problems with teams. Not sure why everyone hates it. If youre already in an AD/Azure environment and use 365 I dont see why you wouldnt use it.

It's a tad more complicated:

  • Skype is still Skype
  • but Skype Enterprise is just a skin strapped over the og Lync (which sucks an order of magnitude more that a black hole)
  • ~~Team is a new product developped from scratch.~~
  • Team is an overhaul of sharepoint, I stand corrected.

Every now and then Teams breaks and shows it's just a thin layer over SharePoint
