And yet Teams allows me to seamlessly video call a coworker. Whereas in Slack you have this ridiculous "huddle" thing where all video call participants show up in a tiny tiny rectangle and you can't see them properly. Even a screen share only shows up in a tiny rectangle. There's no way to increase its size. What's even the point of having this feature when you can't see anything properly because everything is so small?

Seriously, I'm not a fan of Teams, but the sad state of video calls in Slack, even in 2024, seriously ruins it for me. This is the one thing — one important thing — that Teams is better at than Slack.

You can resize it.


How? There are no drag handlers. No popup menu for resize. Doubleclicking just opens a side pane.


There are, around the main huddle window during screensharing.


consider yourself lucky, my team uses skype business. Its skype except it cant do video calls or calls at all. Just a terrible messaging client with zero features!


Skype for Business is deprecated.
