The last time I tried to make video chat work with people, we dived between jitsi, facebook messenger, zoom… until something worked well enough. what are people using here now? Jitsi? Google Meet? Whatsapp? Facebook Messenger? Zoom? Skype? Facetime, somehow? The builtin thing in matrix that used to be jitsi but I think they updated it? Microsoft Teams? What?

    Whatever you used don’t use Microsoft teams. I’m so so sick and tired of that piece of crap. Literally anything will fail, at random. Need to demo a software update to a coworker? Ups, screen share suddenly just gives a black display. Now your audio just flat out refuses to work. Now you don’t have a camera. Half the calls I get won’t ring on my Desktop, incant pick up the call. Teams mobile on Android is a similar shit show.

    Then, Go to google Meet, everything works perfectly fine and the video quality is just plain better.

    Yet so many companies have this “we need to do everything with Microsoft because Microsoft goooood”

    Edit: just saw this is an Android sub. My bad. Still, I’ll leave it here because teams on Android is a shit show as well, so is Microsoft skype.

    Before, I used to use Google Duo, now using whatsbapp video calls (quality is poor compared to snapchat video call).

    Teams at work, Facebook Messenger with family, and occasionally Discord with online friends (or with family, if we’re having a game night). About half of my family uses iPhones, so they often Facetime each other, but whenever it’s a full family call, we know that everyone can use Messenger. I’ll occasionally use Duo or whatever it’s called to call my dad, and that’s about it.
