I don't see why Slack can't open a web view within the Slack app when starting a Skype call. Would be much better UX than being redirected to a web browser. Overall, I much prefer appear.in for video calls. Maybe Slack should acqui-hire them and integrate the service in Slack. Appea.in is already based on a system of rooms (which could be rebranded channels)… See more

@rfreling Slack has already acquired Screenhero which is the same as appear.in . And is working on making it better. https://screenhero.com/

@rfreling Also, the limitation comes from the Slack API not from the integrated software. Opening a webpage is the only option available right now for using WebRTC enabled applications like Skype Web.

@quinaluis yes I knew they acquired screenhero. It's been a while though and screenhero is more about screensharing and onscreen collaboration. I just hope Slack will implement video chat sooner than later :)

@rfreling I think they will do that through integrations, much more interesting for them as a business model. They can capture the user base of integrated softwares :)
