Frequently Asked Questions
Slack vs Discord — which should I use?
Use Slack for professional team communication with integrations and workflows. Use Discord for communities, gaming groups, or informal project teams that prefer voice channels and a more casual setup.
Is Zoom free to use?
Yes. Zoom’s free plan allows unlimited 1-on-1 calls and group meetings up to 40 minutes. For longer sessions or advanced features like cloud recording, a paid plan is required.
What’s the best tool for team meetings?
For quick, browser-based calls: Google Meet. For scheduled enterprise meetings with calendar integration: Microsoft Teams or Zoom. For informal team standups: Slack huddles or Discord voice channels.
Do I need to install anything to use Google Meet?
No. Google Meet runs entirely in your browser — no download needed. Just open the link and join. A Google account is recommended but not always required to attend a meeting.
Can I use Microsoft Teams for free?
