It's So Funny How Skype Had a Spark When It First Started, Then Zoom Came Along

[froggle]

Wasn't trying to install anymore nonsense on my phone/computer, but everybody doing online meetings

and it's Zoom, Zoom, Zoom, Zoom

Still got Skype logged in, but that been dry the past 2-3 years.

I never got into Skype because I never needed it before, but now I'm on Zoom everyday for my business and teaching with it via screenshare and I'm like

This is something I will do more now regardless of a lockdown

 

[MikelArteta]

yeah we have a zoom pro account at work and even hd cameras and the mic and all. Screensharing is dope

 

[BlackBall]

didnt realize its the same company that makes field recorders and audio equipment

Technology lifecycles, b.

Zoom will be replaced soon enough.

My job is weird as fukk. Most project managers use Zoom but because we use Microsoft shyt there's a couple that still use Skype. And then some clients be having us use janky ass Microsoft Teams

But Zoom is definitely the best

 

[UpAndComing]

Skype came along when it was the only game in town


Whatsapp crushed the buildings, then came Google hangouts, Facebook video call, Iphone facetiming, etc etc

 

[itsyoung!!]

Skype been on top for like 15 years.. Zoom wont have a reign half that time period

Microsoft been moving past Skype themselves for a minute. Teams is their new shyt and it still gets corporate use.

Tbh, the sudden rise of zoom is weird as fukk to me. Especially with it being Chinese made, weirdly aimed at students and already has tons of privacy concerns and issues. Idk why but it just seems so convenient that a software I never heard of suddenly became super popular in like 2 weeks.

skype aint going nowhere it's prepackaged with windows

 

[ColdSlither]

My organization is transitioning to Zoom. It's more cost effective for them.

Hopefully the owner(s) don't EVER sell out....to one of the Usual Suspects

 

[Eastside Get The Money]

We were about to transition to Microsoft Teams right before it hit the fan.

But technology is like that . You're seeing it in real time with TikTok. It's literally the same thing as Vine

 

[El Guapo]

I never even heard of Zoom till this whole quarantine started, but I like it. Haven’t had one problem using it.
