How does the video quality is compared to Skype and Hangout?
Report
@tgeselle I would say video quality is better on Skype than hangouts and Slack but for connectivity, Slack has been the best. I would love my broader company to use Slack but there would be a steep learning curve for some people in my company.
Finally! We've been really waiting for this, especially when part of the team is remote. Looks like now we can do ALL our communication in Slack.
I wonder do they allow screen sharing? Pretty important feature for team calls.
Slack is essential for startup teams, but we're all nickel and dimed to death. We learn to discern.
Slack: unlimited users to a team, free. Archive (not needed) and integrations beyond the free limit on the paid plans. Slack native video calls requires at least the cheaper of paid Slack. For us, that would be $424/month. Or, just use the Google Hangouts integration, type /hangout to do a videocall with screensharing (and free text chat archive).
Hangouts go to ten people. Slack videocalls go to 15. Fine. $5/month for one person to have a Google Business account and your Google Hangouts now go to 15.
Am I missing something? ZERO vs. $424/month, folks.

@osakasaul HOW did I miss out on the hangouts integration until now! WOW that is slick. TY!
@jollymonatx thanks. It's mind-blowing to me how my funded startup friends are quick to throw money to the wind when there are alternatives that are far cheaper or free.

IMHO, the only related product here should be Microsoft Teams w/ integrated Skype for Business. It's this product that Slack compete w/ adding video calls.
