"The faster you use your cooldowns, the faster you can use them again"
so now my teams are hailing bluejeans as the second coming of christ after 2 years of skype 4 biz post webex...

literally nothing is different about it - they all have the same problems and issues but for some reason one is "good" and the other "bad"

in my regular work i end up using:
bluejeans
skype 4 biz for workgroups
webex
zoom
gotomeeting
join.me
some other bullshit

how is your teleconference world yospos?

I've got a couple of friends who have started using Discord for calls at work since it's free, call quality is good, it's real easy to share your screen, and you can just send someone a guest invite link that opens in their browser and there's no plugin needed

also much easier to invite them to your anime porn server / bitcoin talk channel so its win win really

today a colleague couldn't figure out how to share a video in a meeting so she exported it frame by frame and put every 20th frame into a powerpoint slide, then presented the slide deck and clicked really fast...


it was... inspired...

one thing i like about bluejeans is they tried to idiot proof it - like if you start to talk and you're on mute it's like "it looks like you're trying to make noises with your mouth. wanna unmute?"

oh i tried co-author an office doc in skype 4 biz today it was amazing - it opened browser windows on everyone's machines and sent them lync invites in ims but if everyone did everything perfectly and the file met some arcane rules then you could use it kind of like google docs but worse

yesterday I learned, that in Skype for Business Ctrl + Enter does not insert a new line, but instead discards the written text and opens a call.

one dude at work is into vintage scooters and he has popped into our team meetings with a handlebar-mounted iphone and a helmet headset. It sounds pretty fine actually, quite amazing.

we have five different sets of a/v set up scattershot in our building and dedicated a/v team to help set up every meeting

even then people whine relentlessly when someone forgets to go on mute while they throw their toddler in the dishwasher

I used to work at a company that had this one scrum master who would dial into every meeting with his laptop mic permanently un-muted so that every time we talked we'd get this obnoxious feedback from his computer. We would tell him, every single meeting, please keep your mic muted and he'd reply yeah yeah and sometimes do it (and sometimes it'd take a few tries on the same call).

It got to the point where he was a net negative on the project for solely this reason, going beyond the scrum master's usual impact of "an unnecessary but harmless participant"

i play mute whack a mole all the time on big calls, luckily skype 4 biz lets me do it - even better when the person doesn't realize they've been muted and just keeps talking to mute

i have been skipping a bullshit call for three months now and every week the minutes come out with “absences: Mad Wack” and it feels great
