btw. teams is one of the fewer ucc suites out there that ALSO work on linux. of course it's not perfect, but it's less worse than other stuff.

View on HN

My current job uses slack (and zoom for outside or very large meetings). It works quite well actually, even on Linux.

slack is not an ucc product. (zoom is tough) (ucc also includes "legacy" phone)

Pretending to understand the discussion I googled about "ucc products".

So now you know:

Our Products

    view all.
    whole bean coffee.
    ground coffee.
    drip coffee.
    instant coffee.
    ready-to-drink.
    Coffee Capsule.
    Drip Pod.

I think this is the definition. Though I had not heard or seen the term before.

To my mind slack firmly fits this definition but it does sound very enterprisey and perhaps there are other definitions.

Ucc is unified collaboration colab, the Term is dying and means, chat, phone, conferencing in a single suite

This is a really great example of how it's never just Teams. You're also going to have to pretend that phrases like "UCC suites" are real and helpful.

No, it really isn't. It's a steaming pile. Even zoom is better.

I've had to use Teams on linux. The first time I started early to get it setup, installed and get in the meeting. I was actually pretty impressed. It just worked.

Fast forward 2 months or so later and I have another Teams meeting on my calendar. It worked last time, so I'm expecting to just hop on. It took me 30 minutes to get into it. I have no idea how it went from working fine to the steaming pile that it is, but I hope to never use it again.

I've gone to just running Teams on Chromium on Linux. Much faster than the Desktop app, and audio works on it reliably. Unfortunately on the app my audio input would cut out every few minutes and require the app to be restarted. Never figured out why, and found a lot of others with similar issues.
