At least they should be and everybody complaints when they aren't.How to Fix Slack Camera and Microphone Issues Check Your App Settingsįirst things first, check your Slack desktop app settings and ensure the app uses the right audio and video devices, especially if there are multiple devices connected to your computer. Being nice to companies is a means to an end, not the goal itself, and the discussion about whether API should be legally accessible to third party vendors (or devices/cars/… should be legally repairable by third party repair shops) should focus on whether we get better user experience, service, and so on, and have the question of whether companies will still want to offer backend-service like Slack under such a law as a facet. There is no reason society can't agree to limit the options of keeping an API locked down in such contracts, especially for well established companies like Slack.Īnd I think the advantages of such a law are very clear: More competition on front-ends could very likely create much better user experience (better organization of chats, better message and image editor, better notifications, show users whether messages have actually been sent). Workers rights limit it, sanctions limit it, cartel and competition laws limit it. I assume your argument is that Slack has the "freedom of contract", the right to create and offer you contracts of their choosing (and you are free to accept or decline them).
