We use Slack + huddle for almost all communication, Zoom and Thursday to hang out.

Our entire team lives in Slack during their work hours ;)

PulseAsync for all team and company comms.
Zoom or Meet for our sporadic meetings (recordings are then synced to Pulse).
Slack for quick chats and getting notifications from other tools.
Thursday
@antoangelino Awesome. We have not used Pulse - does it also function as your task logging system like jira or linear?
@rucha_joshi8 No, Pulse is not Jira or Asana. It's mainly focused on async internal comms, but we're thinking to integrate with some project management tools in future.

Slack + Zoom + Asana

We use Skype and previously Slack )
We use Slack for the majority of our communication.
As for our meetings, we use GMeet and Zoom. And we even get to do it face to face sometimes (nothing to take for granted these days).
Life Tracker
Telegram as a chat + Google Meet for calls + Airtable for tasks and data
Slack for messaging, Google Meet for video calls
Notion for knowledge management
Popwork for weekly 1to1 meetings, prios and OKRs
@rucha_joshi8 my answer's going to be biased as I'm one of the founders but I think it has a great user experience :) Happy to get your feedback on what we're building!
Thursday
@johann_molinari How's been your experience building Pop.work - it is a good use case :)

We have a small team and have everyone on an organized discord server. permissions work great can quickly hop into voice chat/share screen too
Thursday
@darshkpatel That's great to hear. We were heavy discord users as well, until slack introduced huddle.
It seems you all work mainly insync, is that correct?
Krinql
@rucha_joshi8 Yep! I reckon slack might be better for async teams.

Slack + ClickUp for most of it
Thursday
@nimrodron How is ClickUp working out for you?
By the way loved Amy's use case :)

@rucha_joshi8 So far so good! It takes some time to discover and control all the features, but once you get used to it it makes the work much more organized and transparent for the whole team.
And thanks! Feel free to check our upcoming launch:) https://www.producthunt.com/upco...

Thursday
@jaskiran_kaur Got it. And during calls do you generally have your video on?

@rucha_joshi8 Lol thanks, that is truly what I strive to do in life - inspire :)
I am based in Seoul HQ, so we work in-sync with our teams in Korea and Japan but async with our US office (we try to have 1-2 in-sync meetings weekly in overlapping time frame, otherwise it's mainly async).
Thursday
Vmaker for Windows
We mostly rely on asynchronous mode of communication like Google Hangouts, and our very own product, Vmaker. However, every day we have stand-up meeting on Google Meet.
We use Slack as primary messaging tool and Gmeet for video calls
Thursday
@kapilgadhire Thanks for sharing. And do you use video messaging on Slack or post loom videos or is it just text based?
@rucha_joshi8 We do. But Slack Huddle feature is still little buggy. We have made a Gmeet app for Slack, we use that
Slack for all async communication, Zoom for catch-ups, brainstorming or hanging out, and Pause for time off-specific notifications!
Thursday
@sindhushivaprasad Thanks for sharing. What's Pause?
@rucha_joshi8 No problem! Pause is a time-off management tool we built to simplify the process of taking time off and letting your teammates know well in advance. https://getpause.com for more — or you could search on PH for our launch post from earlier this year 🙂
Side Project OS
Gmail, Gmeet and the occasionally the instant chat box built into Google accounts. Definetely not a comprehensive stack but we intentionally try to messy communications so we can spend more time focusing on the work and regroup when necessary over call.
Discord!
Thursday
@pierre_kraus discord is pretty cool We used to use it, but since Slack introduced huddle we moved there for audio communication
@rucha_joshi8 Oh smart move. Discord is def not the best for audio communication
We use Pumble as primary messaging tool and Zoom or Meet for our weekly or monthly meetings. So far so good :)
AccessOwl
Google Meet for almost everything. Slack just in collaboration with other Slack Spaces.
Thursday
@mathias_n Oh that's interesting. So the test async communication happens on Google hangouts or do you always to video meetings?
