   Hello Karel!

11 May 21 23:53, you wrote to me:

I regularily log into WebEx meetings on my Mac, but that has only been the
case for the last 7 months or so. Quite possible that Cisco did some tweaking
on their Mac client? And we used to have Skype for Business at work, until I
was finally able (as in "allowed") to migrate us to Teams. No issues since
then, but the SfB client had some stupid limitations on the Mac. I guess
"feature parity" for Mac OS on SfB isn't high on Microsoft's priority list,
since SfB is more or less a dead platform/product.

Yup, same here. I used to say "I was young and needed the money". The second
part still applies, the first... But at least I can do my work from a Mac,
which helps with some of the pain. :-)

 KK> And honestly these Teams really connected "us".

MS Teams is indeed great, feature parity across at leaast Windows and Mac
(with some features on Mac maybe 2-3 weeks behind at most, which in most cases
isn't a big issue), and not too bad mobile apps, either. There's even a
version running natively on Linux (Ubuntu recommended, I think?), not sure how
up-to-date that one is compared to the Win and Mac editions. And there's
always the Web client, which honestly isn't that far behind, either. I take it
MS would prefer people to connect to their services using Windows, but the
main point is that people connect to their services and have a cloud
subscription. "Cloud first, mobile first" I believe is their mission
statement. Seems to be working just fine for them.


Regards
Fermin
