My company has teams and slack and IT wants to switch to all teams. The thread where they announced this had to be locked. :D I don’t know how a trillion dollar company can’t get this right. Worst yet the bundle that shit with everything and overworked IT depts pick it by default.

lmao, based. Discord too.

I mean, with winter coming in, and universities not bothering to heat the building, teams turning my potato work laptop into a furnace is the only thing keeping us warm this winter…

Serious question - is their long term strategy bad optimisation to sell hardware? Do they have shares in intel or something?!?

What is crazy is that Mac version is more stable than windows in my experience. Still shit, though

I have an office account for work. I don’t happen upon the troubles people report here. I couldn’t leave MS as I basically use all their stuff for work (and so do the several other hundreds of employees here). But teams does work well: texting, videocalls with 100s of participants, recording meetings, file repositories

I use teams every day. My only gripe recently is the messages like “look the wonderful things we did to improve it” that I didn’t need and will probably never use, but I press the little X don’t know don’t care

You put more effort into this post than M$ did to their product

I love how they rolled out the new upgraded Teams and it’s still awful!

It’s the worst and has been running like total crap for years. Even Skype for business worked better. Luckily it is better than Cisco Jabber or Webex.

Yeah I’m going to go ahead and record this meeting. Please speak up if you object. Because we’ve provided so much psychological safety that there will surely be no judgement or fear of reprisal for those with any hesitation to swim in line with the corporate current. We’re also going to share files in this chat that you’ll have to catalogue and remember - so when someone refers to a nondescript file shared 3 weeks ago you’ll be forced to know exactly which chat and file you’re referring to. Also, put yourself on video. We appreciate face to face communication.

I dont know… SharePoint has pissed me the hell off too, its a close one

Since I have not seen anyone mention this problem yet: Teams doesn’t let you mute other people in a call for yourself. Obviously also no volume control per person. Imagine sitting next to your coworker in a teams meeting and having to deal with hearing them twice with like 20 ms delay. Awful.

Out of curiosity are any similar products actually good? My company uses Webex and frankly I’d rather use teams.

No, no! Dogshit sometimes fertilizes and promotes growth. Microsoft teams is poison.
