    I really like these startup break downs.
    Personally I prefer watching you talk more than stock videos.
    Maybe even a whiteboard with simple figures and graphs.
    e.g. year, sales, users etc
    Keep it up awesome work slidebean!

    Many people say that Microsoft Teams is a strong competitor to Slack, but in my personal experience Slack is way ahead of Teams in almost every aspect. Teams is slow, clunky and is intensive on memory and bandwidth. That being said, Teams has seen a 70+% increase in user base during the lockdown period. Would love to know your opinions on it

      A diarrhea poo on a sandwich bun is better than Slack in every single way, except for offensiveness. Slack does take the award for being more offensive. Their UI/UX is terrible, their notifications are inconsistent, their customer support is terrible, they're stuck in their ways when people point out how their UI/UX is broken, and, the final kick in the balls, their stock has almost always traded below their opening price.

    This is accurate! slack sometimes takes up more time because there are multiple people tagging us into multiple things ad-hoc, this would result in a chaos of prioritizing, and instead of mails we get constant pings now and sometimes its hard to keep things in track and we get lost!

    I tried to use it to collab with my local non-profit and was actually too complex for many to get with. Ended up using Discord, because it's mobile apps are way much easier and faster, plus have everything I needed like the pins and a robust multimedia sharing capability. A more professional Discord with native features, no command driven ones, might be perfect for small teams.

    Great video. I used teams, slack and discord server professionally and to my surprise teams has the superior UX. I used slack for month and wasn't able to use all features intuitively and purposefully(project management). Felt it too playfull, lacking a clear purpose and bloated, its disruptive instead of helpful bot pop ups an example of this. I understood teams straight away, even transferred productivity strategies intuitively learned on teams back to slack to use it better. Teams also has the edge when talking with people outside of your organization cause it's used by many larger enterprises as part of their Microsoft stack. Part of this edge is that it has the better meeting software natively integrated to Outlook. Slack wins in file sharing and message search but overall I think teams will win long-term particularly if they amp up ease of file sharing while balancing the security of its SharePoint integration.

    As much as I hate M$ products, Teams is actually a good platform and, in some ways, better than Slack (especially in the area of video communication). My company switched from Slack to Teams because it was simply too expensive and Teams was offered for extremely cheap as part of the bundle that we had (we're already deeply invested in M$ technologies). I think Slack is going to lose a lot of edge if they don't cut prices and innovate.

A chore instead of something to look forward to using. Sorry, but Slack is a productivity sink for this seasoned user. 😟
