@rfreling Slack has already acquired Screenhero which is the same as appear.in . And is working on making it better. https://screenhero.com/
@rfreling Also, the limitation comes from the Slack API not from the integrated software. Opening a webpage is the only option available right now for using WebRTC enabled applications like Skype Web.
@quinaluis yes I knew they acquired screenhero. It's been a while though and screenhero is more about screensharing and onscreen collaboration. I just hope Slack will implement video chat sooner than later :)
@rfreling I think they will do that through integrations, much more interesting for them as a business model. They can capture the user base of integrated softwares :)
If you'd like to sync *chat* from a Skype group and your Slack channel, you can use https://sameroom.io/open-a-tube
Here's a video:
Was SOOO excited until Skype gave me a bunch of prompts including "Install this Chrome extension." I want calls to be embedded in Slack...
@bentossell @mrolovsson The main hurdle is real time call notification inside Slack. Hence probably the Chrome extension. At ottspott.co (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) we're working hard on that :)
Just type /skype on any channel in Slack to start a call with your team, or one-to-one.
@rrhoover @erictwillis @ourielohayon At ottspott.co (https://www.producthunt.com/tech...) the VoIP feature will be announced soon on PH together with other cool features. Stay tuned :)
Just tried it...couldn't get it to work, video wouldn't start (safari, chrome, IE). Removed the integration. Lasted 16 mins before my team gave up :)
Still prefer the https://www.producthunt.com/tech... Slack extension. Doesn't require accounts or plugins - Skype prompted me to install a plugin AND a Chrome extension.
Yes! I just saw this and realised it's something the whole team desperately needs. Thanks guys! Great idea.
Interesting, would like to see how it works with screen sharing. Which to me is more valuable than a video call.
Great addition to slack! However I feel https://appear.in/ has a better integration with lesser steps for starting a video call.
Theoretically great but I was instructed by support that I need to create a new Skype user to incorporate correspondences from my existing skype. I was heartily disappointed.
You can also use http://evergreen.team/en/box-pro... as free and open source alternative to all mentioned below.
That's pretty dope, thanks for hunting it. Slack really has become the Facebook of productivity. Their platform play is impressive.
Great idea! I only wish it had been a more stable video conferencing platform.
As much as I loathe Skype this is probably one of the more important integrations
Probably not possible but I'd rather it use the Slack app for call instead of web browser
