What did GitHub staff use before ? Slack + Zoom ? Mattermost or something else ?

If I've read the histories and articles correctly, Slack for intracompany chat and Zoom for intra and inter company video.

This is switching the intra and inter company video to Teams (which means that GitHub doesn't have to pay Zoom for video anymore).

Intracompany text chat remains on Slack.

Slack [video] Huddles didn't cut the mustard for them?

edit: ahh i see "inter-company". yeah, Slack huddles start to suck when guest accounts/other Slack instances or externals get involved. got it.
