Kind of like how they fucked up and let zoom become the pandemic program everyone used despite skype being so established it had already become a verb like google? M$ really racking up those wins recently
Zoom was so bad, too. It was so unreliable, it was missing basic features, the UI was unfriendly.
They've improved on each of these things slightly since then.
But it's a testament to how bad Skype was that Zoom was found to be preferable.
Or the windows phone too
Zoom was already everywhere in the business world before the pandemic.
Seems like Skype was only for personal users who were not very techy and wanted to make free calls overseas.
Yeah Skype was already dead by then and when normies wanted to start using video calls on the reg, they ended up with zoom either because their work were already using it elsewhere or from being recommended by others that had that as their reason.
