Hmm so followed the link but don't appear to have that button? Is it not available on all accounts? universalavenue.slack would love access to this if any slack overlords are watching these threads
They will have it released by Friday so this will show up in some time. Just wait!
Still don't see it on the Team Settings page

Say Goodbye to Google hangouts (and possibly some of Skype)
Been waiting for this and still anxiously waiting the video integration! Wondering if there are any limits on the number of people who can join in on a call at the same time??
Hi . As it's based on a WebRTC audio-videoconference bridge (Screenhero) , you should probably be able to have as many participants as you wish. In the free plan, it's only 1:1.
That's very important for Slack growth!
Hey Slack, how can I get my team on the beta list?
They will have it released by Friday so this will show up in some time. Just wait!
Hope they can handle bandwidth issues when this scales. It would be sad to have a reason to complain about Slack...
Calls are powered by WebRTC. Scaling wouldn't be problematic...
Yeah, I guess I was jumping ahead to their comments about video. Voice calls aren't really a pain point for our team, but being able to jump into a crisp video call on Slack would be the real game changer.
Looks like Slack's ScreenHero acquisition is bearing fruit 😄 Always loved SH's voice quality! Hopefully screen share will follow soon (as their page promises).
I can't wait to start calling people in the different Slack chat communities I'm in. We're going to become even better friends.
Not the best news for
Skype has 300 millions users ... still some margin there ;-)
outof curiosity...do you happen to know how the stats for monthly and daily active users look like? Just from my friends and peers it looks like it is only used occasionally when the situation requires it.
active users on which platform ? Skype on Slack or Calls on Slack ?
Skype, as you mentioned their user count.
Well Skype4business has all the MS Lync user base which is on the enterprise market on a day to day basis; not to be compared with the b2c Skype.
