Skype vs. Discord vs. Zoom

No words needed...

Communication with international customers

Works, most of the time. Really bad for international calls out, but perfect for everything else. If the Mac's Messages app actually worked I would totally use it from Screen Sharing, I recall using it a while back and it was flawless. As with a lot of other Apple Software, can’t figure out how to get it working on my new Macbook Pro. I gave up after about an hour of trying to set it up.

We are using Skype to help your customers in realtime. Sometimes you need to chat or talk with customer right away and this is best option for us right now.

SmartLogic values communication very highly. We use Skype to keep the conversation going with our clients and we use it internally, too.

For calls when team is not in one place

General communications. Almost everyone has skype, or at least knows how to use it...

Consultations and meetings.

Meetings, lots of meetings.

Allows us to communicate with our employees who are all in different countries when they are not logged into Slack. Also used to vet new employees.

communication utility

Skype is one of the better methods I've found for IM communication, and most of my clients have it. Mostly use it when there is a need for screensharing.

Always online!

Only when forced. Slack is king.

Weekly product meetings and quick calls between developers

Because I have to... easy to do quick conference calls and screen-sharing.

일상적으로 친구/지인들과 커뮤니케이션에 잘 활용중. 다른 VoIP 서비스보다 '통화' 그 자체에 타깃이 맞춰져 있어 본인의 스타일에 맞았음. 다만, MS가 서비스하는 만큼 국가 단위의 감청이 있을 수는 있다.

Used for communication during remote job.

Business and team communication.

Skype is used to communicate with some of our clients

Skype is far by one of the best video calling apps I've ever used(After Google Duo) It has a very simple User Interface, hence is a favorite of mine.

Three reasons why people like Skype that I am compelling: 1. It's simple and easy to use 2. Good video calling quality 3. It's cheap and very efficient Very popular too

Communication

Various bot integrations and OAuth provider

Community and Staff chat.

Discord is used for all the discussions with our community, and discussions between our entire staff (including Community Managers, Chat Moderators and BATs). We also use a Discord bot we developed to deploy new code to the server.

Coding talk, music.

As a community paltform for Discord servers and as gamers, we use Discord while playing to rest and have fun after work.

Discord is home to many game development communities, including AGDG (Amateur Game Development General), RGD (Reddit Game Development), and Game Dev League. When I'm working with WebGL, they are always very knowledgeable and helpful in answering my questions about physics, vectors and data structures.

We first used slack and switched to Discord later to stay near at where the community is at, while still be able to have private conversations and stay in contact. Discord offered everything we needed and used from Slack previously, plus the community-part, so it was an easy decision.

We use Discord for our community as well as generic staff communications. It works as a main selling point for ShadowICT as well as a central place for monitoring alerts and announcements to go.

Durch die einfache und plattformübergreifende Nutzung sowie die Möglichkeit schnell rollenbasierte Kanäle zu erstellen, bietet sich Discord hervorragend für die Kommunikation im Team sowie auch mit den Spielern an. Wir nutzen Discord statt Slack, da wir unseren Fokus im Gaming Bereich haben und Discord hier stark vertreten ist.

Zoom is a video conferencing service that helps us work as a remote team. We typically do quick one-on-one meetings with zoom, and a weekly group huddle where we can share our screens and see everyone on the conference in a grid view. One of the reasons we prefer it over other solutions is that it has a really great screen share and remote control feature. The video quality is very high, and as a remote team we can do the occasional pair programming with remote control feature.
