    Chose Discord
    Honestly, I would use Slack and Skype over Discord anyway because they are faster, easier to use, and easier to find conversations. Discord is great at times but, in our experience, having it continuously buffering and taking forever to load really slows down our team. However, …

    Chose Skype (discontinued)
    Compared to Discord, in my opinion, Skype has a simpler and more user-friendly interface. Skype works great on mobile devices and has the same functionality as the PC version.

    Chose Skype (discontinued)
    We find Skype to be more user-friendly than Zoom, possibly because I personally have been using Skype for a lot longer and have become used to its functionality. I also find the video and sound quality to be better than Zoom. On a more personal note, I believe Discord has a …

    Mostly security reasons and focused on doing one thing well. People know the name and the ring of Skype. One of the best and longest in the business. Caters to much of the older generation due to longevity. Older generations like tried and true and often shy away from the new …
