Honestly, I’m kind of surprised Slack/Teams haven’t pivoted this way faster. They have robust platforms with arguably even better bot/integration options. Wall off a “gamer garden” so people don’t feel like they have their work chats running next to their game servers, and you’re pretty much golden.
Discord is essentially the undisputed king of this marketplace, but seems to only have achieved that on snappy branding and being a free platform. It pretty much just lifted Slack’s existing UI and experience whole-cloth and put a thin gamer veneer on it. I was making a social Discord the other day for my large family to interact with instead of 60 group chats, and was shocked at how LITTLE I was able to do with it. Especially compared to my work Slack, which I realize my company pays a fee for, but even in its paid tiers Discord offers next to nothing.
oh you just need the MS Teams manager. Manage all Teams from one app!

I’m still annoyed they’re forcing the new version and for some reason removed the ability to view/add Contacts. It’s so awesome to scroll through all my chats instead of just looking at Contacts.

Microsoft wants nothing less than complete and total hegemony and they don’t care what they have to do to get it.

Teams mini has popped up automatically and crashed my full graphics stack to the point of forcing a restart more than once.
Here you go teams-team:🏅 you’ve made the worst collection of software known to humanity.

And there was nothing wrong with MSN either. Messenger was just fine… Or Skype, that’s also under theirs thumb…
