Once again I would like to remind everyone that the product manager at Zoom who decided that users should be forced to update before joining a meeting should be fired.
I am now 2 minutes late
Yeah
@firefliesai You have been recording meetings and inviting your Fred bot in my name without authorisation and with me being unaware of this. Who should I speak with about this problem you are causing me? #problems of #automation and #AI
Feta App is first and only meeting tool that breaks the information silo!
hey @otter_ai, we are longtime users of your product but now you are raising prices and for the past 2 weeks it keeps freezing up and quitting on us, bad timing to be seeking more $!
Which group videoconferencing solution doesn't totally suck, apart from MS Teams? With arbitrary participant Ā sharing screen, no problems with headsets, etc. Discord sucks, Telegram sucks, Google Meet sucks, Slack's Huddle sucks
This is the worse message you can get from a saas platform like Ā
@tldview. If you offer a free plan and you want to have people switching to your pro plan, your platform should be able to handle it. This message is sending a very bad message and gives me no trust in them
Google Meet is the worst video conferencing product of all time, and it never gets better, only worse.
The ālate to every meetingā is to be taken literally with Zoom.
How is Zoom still around? Microsoft Teams and Google Meet are cheaper, not to mention a zillion other products. Is it a status thing -- people think you're fancier if you invite them to a Zoom?
Zoom option to watch participants as they wait for their update to finish so they can join a meeting
I can see @MicrosoftTeams is repeating the same mistakes as @Skype chat experience is just terrible and simply doesn't work. WhatsApp it is
ā¦.many of the other transcription AI apps, are just a transcription service which has a flow behind the scenes when a meeting is over which copy-pastes to ChatGPT with prompts. There's nothing smart about it and the summaries make no sense
ur app is TRASH @MicrosoftTeams
Every time I'm in an all-day @WebEx seminaršÆ
It needs so much juice it sucks down the power adapter *and* the battery šµ
@Zoom why does your app keep crashing on MacOS Sonoma 14.4.1? Restarts my laptop every 5-6 times or so
Every click and update like that matters. How many meetings moved off zoom bc of the inconvenience?
I'm always early to my meetings and interviews, I like to join at least 5-3 mins early.
But on some very few occasions, MTN will just be running mad. I opened a link 10 minutes to a meeting before, and before Zoom finally loaded up and let me it, I was 5 minutes late.
Thatās crazy. Teams randomly stops working with no explanation and no steps to fix it.
So I think fireflies is really good in summarization as a chrome extension.
In terms of meeting notes itās bad. Canāt get accents, Ā so we all laugh reading it post the meeting.
Itās hilarious .
Yes, Zoom's privacy practices are awful and Google Meet is awful
Hot take: I'll take a Google Meet link over Zoom any day
I hope youāre fluent in sign language. Thatās the only way Iāve been able to reliably use Google Meet, because the audio consistently sucks or drops
Is there a video conferencing platform made for designers and artists? Something that prioritizes stream quality, has great annotation tools for working sessions, with multiple simultaneous streams, etc...
ā
Zoom, Microsoft Teams, Webex have some good features none of them feel great to use or hit the following points:
ā
- Good stream quality for art, video, gameplay.
- Desktop audio sharing
- Annotation
- Easy to use, not bloated. Good UI.

"Linear is to JIRA what _____ is to Zoom." Basically.
Today I hosted a live session on Zoom that had 300+ people registered. But evidently a Zoom Pro account, which is what I have, maxes out at 100 participants, so multiple people couldn't get onto the live session š« š« š«
A notification from Zoom letting me know I needed to upgrade to Zoom Business to accommodate all my Zoom registrants would have been simple, lucrative, and instilled so much goodwill. Instead, they created a frustrated customer.
Are fireflies leaving you in the dark? Are you Otter-ly confused by your notes? Can't Fathom why your meetings are a mess?
Feta is what you need!
This is the most funny and ridiculous thing I have ever read! Ā This is just a part of @MicrosoftTeams transcript from a recent meeting.
FYI, I don't have daughter.
Inertia. None of those products are multiples better, which is what it would take to move.
6 mos into working at a corp that uses WebEx for virtual meetings, i'm comfortable saying WebEx sucks
Zoom got you feeling doomed? Teams tearing at the seams? Meet's left you feeling beat?
āFeta is a treat!
This is the worst thing about zoom. Iām pretty sure Iām late to every meeting because of it.
Sigh - new set of bugs then... Amazing how #Skype still doesn't work properly after all these years!
Now attempting skype via chromebook. Zoom doesn't work great on here either.
The @Skype icon has been following me for the last 15 years. I don't know how to get rid of this thing. I've tried everything. Deleting the app (obviously) doesn't work. Changing laptop and companies don't work either.
good lord i hate zoom calls
slack huddles work ok for audio and screen sharing. don't think there is any conferencing capability that always invites outside of workspace though.
How is it possible that a huge enterprise application like Microsoft Teams just... doesn't work half the time? What even is that.
Make better decisions, move faster and stay in sync with the Feta.*
*Even when you miss a meeting.
Google Meet is fucking abysmal!
Itās actually worse than web-Zoom, I think? It constantly locks up in Safari, or chucks me out of the video, and says āYou lost your network connectionā. I have a 900Mbps internet connection! I definitely have not!
A lot of people responded with variations on "Teams and Meet suck"...
Which is just another question - why can't those companies make them good? They have all the money in the world to do it
Are you Zooming and Dooming? Are your Teams throwing Tantrums? Are your Meets causing Mayhem?
Well, you need a dose of the Feta!
When it actually works
@otter_ai is not bad. But it doesn't work much of time time in my experience.
I understand the
@firefliesai team are good people, so here's some open criticism:
Forcing me to login against my will to watch a video shared w/ me, *forcing calendar access*, and then stupidly starting a 7 day trial.. super poor form & probably net bad (or at least Iād hope so)
seriously @MicrosoftTeams you couldn't have designed less user-friendly meeting links even if you tried, right? they're SO HARD to work with: copy, paste, send in emails... bloody mess, half of the time the calendar doesn't recognise them
I'm honestly wondering: does Zoom's success say something about the value of design/UX in products?
You know @otter_ai, charging me 50% more to get substantially less under the same plan is just incredibly bad way to treat customers. I was led to believe my current product at pro plan rate would be grandfathered in, too. Good /s job cultivating brand loyalty.
ok so zoom was way better than incumbents bc of latency
but now we need a zoom competitor to pop up with WAAAAAAY better UX
who is building this???
Google is good at many things but Google meet sucks

Its weird how Microsoft Teams just doesn't really work and everyone is fine just carrying on using it,
Teams on my personal laptop refuses to remember my camera settings and refused to work with the computerās microphone this evening. Also refused to run from a browser for some random reason.
Is Meet falling short of the finish line? Are Teams running in different directions? Is Zoom ready for tomb?
Guess what, Feta makes your meeting workflows bloom.
at this point I think
@Zoom updates more than windows but yet I never see anything of value being changed.. what the hell is zoom even updating?
That sir is a feature not a bug. The features intention is to help you miss meetings you should have skipped anyways.

Zoom people either:
ā
1. Use Zoom so much that theyāre already always updated
2. Donāt use their own product
The rest of us just have to suffer until they feel compelled enough to change it.
Was wondering if my bad personal experience of @otter_ai was the rule or the exception. 68% negative reviews and a Poor rating on
@Trustpilot has answered my question.https://uk.trustpilot.com/review/otter.ai
@otter_ai I sure do love your app but your search is real bad.
Is there any plan to improve it?
Has anyone left Zoom because of their ridiculous terms of service and because the commies listen in / store all your conversations?
If so, what did you switch to? I hate that we use zoom buuuut the alternative suck for other reasons.
All it takes for a company to lose you for life is to fool you once. I signed up to a monthly Adobe subscription, only to realized it was a *yearly* one paid monthly (?!) when I tried to cancel, and Adobe did not let me.
That was it: me done with Adobe. I cannot recommend them.
I hate a bad onboarding sales strategy- I just had this experience with
@firefliesai they auto subscribed me without my permission
agreed. I used Zoom this morning. There is always some problem with it. Latency is one issue but I come across way more interface problems (logging in, audio, chat etc)
@otter_ai I love your service overall (would love to be able to accept requests to share!) but your meeting summaries are hilariously bad :-)
Using teams is š©š©š©(and I use ms business premium)
Automate your end-to-end meeting workflow with the Feta.
This is why Microsoft Teams is superior
Iām actually offended that another human being made this statement. š¤®š¤¢
@otter_ai is so incredibly bad, I can't believe they're charging me to hear MY OWN voice recordings. I can only hear my 25 most recent recordings, if I want to hear beyond that I have to pay?
It wasn't like this when I started using the service.
Can't believe this is even legal.
Skype has been here since 2003. That is 20 years.
So how come the call button doesn't work?
Does anyone elseās mobile @MicrosoftTeams app randomly get stuck for a message while typing but the next one is fine? Itās so inconsistent #shoutingintothevoid
The only reason that PM has a job is bc they were fired from gotomeeting for doing the same thing.
Zoom now crashes at least once a day, usually in the middle of meetings. starting to remind me of Homers website in the Simpsons the way Zoom are trying to add so much in, please just do meetings really well.
> gets a zoom call invite
> clicks on it
> waiting to update zoom
I hate Zoom with passion. You will open it so you can quickly join a meeting and that is when the idiot will start downloading an update. Update that you canāt cancel.
Very horrible product.
POV: you are late to join a meeting
Teams is the slowest, clunkiest, piece of junk EVER. Entire thing needs to be re-written.
i hate to say that iām starting to agree. zoom is making everything overly complicated
