We use it, it's fine. Although it gets some hate with the executives because we can't have more than four people on screen at any one time. I think they lament they can't have a panopticon of everybody at once? There's a blog post from Microsoft with a nebulous commitment to increase it to nine.

Honestly I don't care about seeing who's in the meeting beside who's speaking so four is plenty.

I really, really liked Sococo (https://www.sococo.com/), which I used at my previous job. The feeling of presence was so key, and not needing to fire up a room and share a link, but instead, just grab a coworker or knock on a door, was so nice.

Wish I saw people talking about this one :-)

I use Zoom at my current job, and it's fine (except that I can never find the mute and share buttons when I need them), but not magical.

True. Most HNers would use Slack, and most would argue that MS Teams is a poor copy of Slack.

I ran into a sequence of really odd behaviors with a Teams meeting this week.

Step 1: click on the "join this meeting" button in Exchange (incorrectly said Skype with my first draft)

Step 2: realize when Teams launches that it has inexplicably taken me to a days-old meeting with a different group

Step 3: see a Teams notification that another co-worker has started the correct meeting

Step 4: click on that notification, hear it ring, and a woman picks up the phone

Step 5: discover that my co-worker had fat-fingered the callback number (he wanted to use his phone for audio), so Teams dialed a complete stranger for me as well as him instead of connecting me to the meeting.

That poor woman must have been so terribly confused.

Focusing on growth first and security later is right out of Microsoft's playbook.

I wonder if it has a seamless Mac app for download, as Zoom does. I am poking around their site and don't see an obvious link to it.

We've been using https://team.video and loving it.
