Didn't know that! Can't they invite guests in a video chat / screensharing session ? Sounds odd. Did you check any hidden UI controls ?

Well, I love Slack https://www.slack.com too and I use it every day. I also referred it to hundreds of my friends and colleagues all these years and they've thanked me about that many times.

I try stuff that give me value and I am not ashamed to share my experiences. If that sounds like a Slack advertisement or whatever I can only say that I've used WebEx, Cisco Spark, Microsoft Teams, Yammer, Hipchat, Zoom.us, Gotomeeting and other collaboration tools as an early adopter (sometimes in the first alpha and beta versions) searching for something that could stick with my needs. I love this stuff (collab s/w) and I used screenhero at least a year+ before slack bought them. I was not impressed back then, but I am ready to see how they evolved.

Slack is great but sometimes all these large companies are doing stuff the way Microsoft did with Skype .. took them ages to evolve the product after they bought it.

I like having options nevertheless :)

you can check out Acrossio for a new experience with recording and bookmarking during the meeting! www.acrossio.com

If you look closer, it's not a chat app.

It actually records all meetings or meaningful team interactions (video mainly) and it allows people to bookmark the moments and put context. After the end of the meeting, all bookmarks, tasks etc are saved and you can share important points with people that could not be there.

The most amazing thing is that you can mention people with permalinks that get you in the exact time something was said.

Now, can it run on a hardware like Microsoft of whatever? YES

but the innovation is in the concept of LIVING MEETINGS that they live after their end, since people can go in and socially enlive them :)
