@DavidDTSS That’s cause Microsoft’s institutional culture is Windows, Office & Azure centric, they have no taste or acumen for usability or design & corporate inertia evidently let Skype die on the vine, but Zoom is a terrible company & their product is a multiple vector security risk.

Zoom, Hangout, Skype & similar platforms have become popular in education since CV19. In Malaysia:1)remotest areas,2)modern & 3)refugees children.1&2 get some help.3 is left to NGO because they are denied public schools. The private schools headed by some NGO’s are thriving.👏🏽

@asam100 @HSELive I would be in full agreement of everything you have said. We have to help each other out. But public hospital also should be doing this no assessment can be made over a phone or Skype. A Dr needs to examine which is important. Things will be missed.

@carlosmiguelsns A little story. When my son 14 started online schooling the teachers soon banned the use of chat in zoom and Skype. So what did the kids do They all hopped on discord where the teacher had no visibility. So the problem remained but was worse.

@Skype My issue with it is not the ability to change it, but at least customize it when first creating your account. Because my Microsoft account was created when setting up a new laptop, my id is autogenerated and is the oddest random thing ever...

@Ms_LebouxM @MthembuMabutho Thokoza Gogo. Within our organization we use Microsoft Teams and I personally prefer it over Zoom any day. I believe that Microsoft decided to market Teams more over than Skype hence why most people didn’t even mention Skype as a whole, there were a lot of issues with it

@markrmcqueen @Microsoft @Skype It works but like all MS products the GUI is 10 years behind and prone to crashes. Zoom is fixing its security issues and is a better platform for VTC. Not a sub for Teams to be sure but superior for conferencing

My daughter kept on interrupting my Zoom and Skype meetings w/ her orders such as “Mama, let’s catch” (play catch) “Mama, cry!” (Won’t stop until I make crying noises) “Mama, let’s spin around” “Mama help! Fire fire!” (Arte nya lang) #toddlerquarantine

@baxiabhishek @PranavDixit Hey Skype for Business is really behaving badly. Connect issues... I'm waiting in the lobby and it shows only me and all others find the same thing. Doesn't happen within the same company though. We've switched to Teams and Microsoft is urging biz users to switch.
