I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.
Buckle up, because they’re doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It’s already begun. There’s a “new” Outlook. FML.
Am I the only one that prefers it to Slack?
Probably.
Weird
No, no! Dogshit sometimes fertilizes and promotes growth. Microsoft teams is poison.
I have a Jabra Headset (now retired) that literally has a MS Teams logo on the side and is market as “Teams compatible”. As you might have guessed, Teams is the only VC app were I regularly have to switch betwen inputs to get the headset to work during a call.
Every. Fucking. Meeting. Why can’t teams just default to my system default.
It’s like a graveyard of companies that Microsoft has acquired over the years. Sharing files is one brand name (Sharepoint if i recall), making video calls is another name, planned events is another - every function has a brand name to it, which made me feel like these were the last remaining trace of long-absorbed companies.
But that’s just my recollection, i haven’t touched Teams since Covid
Isn’t Teams just Microsoft’s attempt to reinvent Skype for Business as a Slack clone? I didn’t think they’d acquired it (other than acquiring Skype and fucking that up, too).
Microsoft spent billions acquiring Skype only for us to be left with Teams
I don’t care. I’ll take anything that maintains staff meetings from home. Before COVID they were 90% in person.
Yup. It’s got a stupid amount of bloat for what it is used for, but it’s aggressively “okay.”
Will take it everyday of the week instead of taking meetings in person.
We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.
We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.
Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.
Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.
Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.
Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.
I’ve personally never had an issue with Slack, mic/video included. My connection has always been solid, though. Never tried on a shit connection.
You can share windows and entire screen with Meet.
Next you’ll tell me the sky is blue.
If we were on Teams right now I may not have received this snarky message.
Thank you! Finally someone has the guts to say this publicly
The only thing it does better than Slack: A list of all my chats, most recent at the top, without any disappearing or grouped in some weird way. Slack annoys me.
I got slack for my college course, I left the group. I have no fucking idea what is going on on that app it was insanity. Seemed like 12 different groups of the same people and sometimes you got notifications sometimes you did not.
It was just a really bad UI and UX.
Haha be thankful for what you have. I work at a pretty large financial institution and we still use Skype for Business. There is another messaging app we use but not everyone is granted access to it so I have to use both apps daily.
You’re using teams. Modern teams is built on Skype, which is why it’s shit.
I’m annoyed you still can’t do annotations with Teams.
