How’s your audio conference quality?

I’m surprised it’s 2018 and we are using Skype VoIP to a center table multi-directional speaker phone which let’s be honest sounds no better than a landline speaker phone. When others are further away it’s hard to hear, i hear “wuh wah wubba lubba dub dub”. Having nice professional microphone(s) connected to a computer across an online service. Think radio station style audio. We have the hardware, we have the bandwidth. Yet we are still chopping the audio spectrum to the tin-can length spectrum. Just.. surprised and annoyed. Is it any better in the other companies? We have daily calls with our other offices so it’s a constant pain and I want to hear there’s hope!

We use Skype and it blows. Zoom sucked too for WebEx demos.

Was at Facebook for years and used Bluejeans, which was an awesome and easy experience. Now at Uber and using Zoom - took a little getting used to, but extremely happy and think it's better than Bluejeans. Used Skype at another company last uear for 6 months and it was horrendous. No clue how/why any company would think that's acceptable with the other options out there.
