Dear all,
I have actually started using Google Meet and asked my contacts to move to
that. It works pretty well, more stable than skype. Users with android
phones already have it installed by default, so I can just call them
through their gmail address. People with iPhone/iPads I ask them to
download the Google Meet app and login with their gmail account.
The only thing is that I still have credit for skype out (only a few
dollar). I guess I may switch to the free Teams app just to use up the
credit. I may also forgo it and then consider using whatsapp for voice
over IP. I liked skype for the reason that I had one app for video calls
and voice over IP. whatsapp can also do both but always needs a phone
numer associated.
I miss the times when skype was independent, then MS bought it and we were
forced upgrades and a constantly changing interface. I also liked that
skype was peer-to-peer instead of going through a platform.

Hello all,
I haven't followed the whole thread but on the topic of MS Teams I remember
there is also a Pidgin (libpurple) protocol plugin that supports it,
otherwise one can use the official online client from the browser without
problem.

Depending what you want to / have to do with Teams, fi you're using a Debian
based distribution, Microsofts "Teams Preview" still woks (at least as far as
Debian 11) and had a *.deb package (no more online, but I stll have it).
