nice. Does everyone in the team follow the protocol and like it?

Yeah it works quite well. As usual, the biggest problems are with video and mics in meeting rooms with bad acoustics. Everything else is good. #achievements works especially well because it gives a persistent, short-form log that people can read quickly when they come back from days off, for instance.

We minimized that problem by using a free app on a smart-phone that turned it into a microphone for the PC running the Skype call. Team members in the room would pass the phone around.

Our team uses skype for business for our standup. We're spread all around Europe so we don't have the choice of an in-person meeting. In my opinion they tend to take a little longer than a traditional standup but we do go more in depth when discussing issues we might be having. Usually it takes 15 minutes.

Ours too. They end up being a little longer than I wish they were. Have you guys tried any kind of online tools for this? or would you keep preferring Skype? Something like jell.com

We haven't, it's working well for us that the need never became apparent.
