Techcrunch: Slack announces it’s building voice and video chat
by Dev Anand Teelucksingh March 2, 2016

March 2, 2016

Via www.techcrunch.com/2016/03/01/slack-roadmap/ "Slack laid out its plan to stay ahead of its workplace chat competitors today with new products for its 2.3 million daily active users, up from 2 million in December. The big changes will center around message enhancements, greater Usability, and voice and video chat. That last one is huge. You’ll soon be able to switch directly into a voice or video chat inside of Slack. This could strike a heavy blow to Skype, Google Hangouts and other multi-media collaboration tools. Slack says it will begin testing these features very soon." Dev Anand
