Slack Is A Product On The Rise
Slack Is A Multi-Purpose Application
Skype
Skype is on the way down and has lost its crown as the premier video calling app to Zoom over the last couple of years.
It’s still one of the most popular communication apps, with more than 300 million monthly active users, but it’s way down on Microsoft’s priority list–in fact, I’m pretty sure Microsoft is slowly but surely sidelining Skype.
Another strong indicator of Skype’s downfall is LinkedIn’s announcement last year in which they unveiled their video messaging feature.
This is easy to understand, since Skype is literally only a video calling platform–every other feature it has is only there to support video calling.
