No, I don’t want to design a logo for a coffee shop in fucking skype.

Every app has to have fucking AI now for some reason.

    Agreed, it’s infuriating. As are Skype’s continual efforts to get me to follow interest channels. Why can’t it just be a communications app, and leave it at that? Aaaaarrrggghhh!!!

    I’ve used Skype. It was not just “mildly” infuriating, and that was before copilot.

      Corporate, companies that bought all-in into MS ecosystem. Which is weird that they added this to the mobile client as Skype for business is ending support in 2025, it’s supposed to be replaced by Teams, which it not ready BTW. So, I don’t know what any of these is supposed to do, perhaps just rake in more data before the service dies for good?

      I use Skype for my meetings, as well as teams. They’re both awful in different ways.

      It’s difficult for me to find a (free) software that clients can install and be device/OS agnostic.

      Using browser based calling services has proved to be a real challenge with non tech-literate people. The amount of wasted time on, “oh my mic/cam was working yesterday” type situations.

        While I agree that Mic am not working can be difficult to work out with none technical people I have that experience with Teams every day. I work in IT, as do my colleagues and every morning the first call goes like “Can you hear me now?” “Gotta switch the mic.” …this is on teams on Windows/Mac and Linux … So in my anecdotal experience browser based solutions are no better or worse
