> Almost everyone used Skype back before we had Discord and other alternatives

Yeah except for when gaming, Skype "always on" voice was very annoying for any games and the latency was way higher than Mumble or Teamspeak so we would use those for our gaming groups but Skype for person-to-person calls rather than group chats.

I guess if you didn't have anyone technical enough to setup a Teamspeak or Mumble server in your gaming group YMMV but they were 1000% better than using Skype which had worse quality audio, no push to talk and huge latency.

See....Skype has had PTT...They've always had it...Discord is the biggest garbage app ever created It will NEVER be ANYWHERE close as good as mumble or hell even teamspeak
