>I don't personally know anyone that has actually switched to using it. Everyone still uses Chime.

It must be just your org/team, because a few of my friends working there in entirely different orgs had their teams switched to Slack fully within the week of announcement. Not claiming you are wrong though, because my sample size of 3 people/teams is purely anecdata.

Slack uses Chime under-the-hood for meetings. So, people are still using Chime. This was announced at re:invent today.

The video meetings are easily the worst part of Slack. Even though Slack meetings are free and integrated, everyone at my org still uses Zoom with Slack instead.

Are the video meetings worse than chat threading?

They don't work at all in Firefox, so... for any Firefox users, yes.

Threading that didn't work at all would actually be better than the threading that exists.

It may be Firefox. The video conferencing platform we use (Dekko Lynx) requires Chrome or Edge, because Firefox does not support the tech that Dekko needs for its end-to-end encryption calls (as we have been explained).
