Slack Launches Call Integrations For Microsoft Teams, Zoom, and More (theverge.com) 12
Slack is launching a new app to integrate Microsoft Teams calling features into its chat app today. "Slack is also launching VoIP phone integration with Zoom, Cisco Jabber, RingCentral, and Dialpad," reports The Verge. "This will allow Slack users to use these VoIP calling providers to call phone numbers directly within the Slack interface." From the report: Slack users will be able to set Microsoft Teams Calls as the default calling provider and get to see who's already on a call and when it kicked off before joining a meeting. Event reminders from the Outlook Slack app will also support the ability to join Microsoft Teams calls direct from Slack. The new calling features will be available for all Slack users today, and you can already enable the new Microsoft Teams app in Slack from the company's website.

I have my doubts about Slack's coders. Not that I trust most companies' claims regarding privacy, but it's like Slack isn't even trying.
Since I work at a university, and since right now our department has a lot of people who've chosen to use Slack, I was looking for information regarding Slack and FERPA (Family Educational Rights and Privacy Act). Their statement reads like something Travis Kalanick would've come up with - basically it says "it's up to you as the customer to tell the students that we're not FERPA compliant and can use their data however we please!"

combine all your most vulnerable, privacy stealing apps together into a single suite you can ignore.

Good to know, for Americans who want to avoid being terrorized by their own government, like with any of the the other ones in that list who are based in the US and got an NSA cock in their cloacas.
