What do they use instead?

Tableau jbezos OP Nov 1, 2016

hangouts, messenger, FaceTime (this seems to be the gold standard), duo ( heard whatsapp is releasing video chat as well)

Tableau jbezos OP Nov 1, 2016

Skype is still big internationally and I still use it. Also use FaceTime Hangouts Zoom and even HipChat when it works.

we are a o365 customer will be interesting to see if we dump hipchat for it...

Tableau jbezos OP Nov 1, 2016

enterprise usecases aside this is more about consumer products!

Microsoft randoo Nov 1, 2016

it is still synonymous with video calling in most countries including first world countries like UK canada EU in general among others. OP is lame

Tableau jbezos OP Nov 1, 2016
