What sucked was having to type in IP addresses just to talk on voice. permalink fedilink source parent [–] AlecSadler@sh.itjust.works 7 points 2 years ago (3 children) Absolutely. For some crazy-ass reason my job transitioned away from Teams (I get it) and Slack and to Discord. Discord is garbage for this type of work environment. Maybe it works for some? But it just doesn't make sense. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 6 child comments replies: [–] Appoxo@lemmy.dbzer0.com 6 points 2 years ago lmao. Discord is surely very good for work-related trade secrets permalink fedilink source parent [–] mint_tamas@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago My company has been using Discord for work and at first I was excited to try it (coming from Slack companies), but I had to realize that it’s very unfit for work. The only thing that’s better is the visibility of threads. We are moving to Slack now, thankfully. permalink fedilink source parent [–] snek@lemmy.world 2 points 2 years ago I used Discord for work and it was great for voice channels. We used slack for channels where we needed to share text and images, worked quite well. Main problem was that many people at the company were not really from the internet in the sense that they had no Discord etiquette whatsoever. permalink fedilink source parent [–] platypus_plumba@lemmy.world 5 points 2 years ago (1 child) My stress levels skyrocket whenever I'm using Discord. The quality of the voice is nice but having to constantly reconfigure the settings to make it work fine and the unintuitive UI stresses me out. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Urist@lemmy.ml 3 points 2 years ago (1 child) I have basically disabled all input settings in the app and configure the input before it reaches Discord for consistency. Still it sometimes messes up things amazingly. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] webhead@lemmy.world 3 points 2 years ago Yeah I use the Steelseries sonar stuff because that makes it so that inputs never change. When my headset turns off it redirects the output to my speakers and when I turn the headset back on, it goes back to it. Virtual audio devices are very nice in general lol. permalink fedilink source parent
