However, it may be less convenient for them when you do that.

So don't become Lumbergh from Office Space, and read the room/audience.

Use at your own discretion.

Same goes for using the /zoom in slack - if a back & forth is ensuing it may require a faster latency than slack can provide so a call which can upgrade to video/screenshare is nice.

Oh, I'm the last one to start a call like that, because I know how bad it is to get stopped in your tracks and diverted when you're on a roll. Not that calls and conversations can't be useful, I just... don't like it when people think that's the only way to communicate.
