Ahh yeah I guess I understand that. But is it that different from when they included Skype with o365 licensing?
I sell Microsoft licensing and agree that Teams is quite a bloated mess. “Let’s take a video conferencing software, mix in instant messaging, a share point backend and also whatever else seems good”
I miss when I had slack but as a MSP we use what we sell unfortunately.
That’s actually a really good point. I think, ui wise, skype and slack served a different audience. I think skype was about 1-2-1 messages and calls, whereas Slack was about chatting amongst team members.
Teams as a product feels like a really direct competitor to Slack in a way that Skype could never do (at least in the last iteration I used it in).
As for Teams, same here. In my last job I had slack and it was quite pleasant to use. Now at my new(ish) job and we are all forced to use Teams as part of the license. And I guess that is the reason behind EUs decision right there.
