You put more effort into this post than M$ did to their product
Thanks, your bill is in the mail.
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.
My boss puts it best. WebEx for Calling, Zoom for Meetings and Teams for Collaboration (the actual Teams function).
I used Webex at my last job, it was pretty decent.
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.
That’s not really Teams fault though. Sounds more like a team issue than a Teams issue.
The work of the devil
Too fuckin right m8
Bruh it was a placeholder cuz it took me a sec to find the meme lmao
I dont know… SharePoint has pissed me the hell off too, its a close one
Fun fact, teams backend is sharepoint. It’s just a fancy wrapper on top 🤡
Well now I just feel bad for the team behind teams 🤣
I use it daily and think it’s excellent. Skype, on tnge other hand, is diabolical.
🌈You’re insane💫
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.
We used to use Slack + Zoom and had a much better experience than Teams.
I prefer Zulip but because we have Teams we use teams.
Slack is better than Teams IMO, but I don’t know if I’d call it “good.”
Zoom and Google Meets have both worked better for me.
I no longer work with corporations, but an online ornithology classI did used teams. It worked, mostly, for a while. Then one day it decided that video would no longer work on my machine. Of course there’s no obvious log or anything.
I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.
That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.
It’s the only piece of software that’s ever behaved that way.
No, no! Dogshit sometimes fertilizes and promotes growth. Microsoft teams is poison.
I still don’t want it on my desk though.
Hey, poison has it’s uses too, unlike 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.
Microsoft spent billions acquiring Skype only for us to be left with Teams
Am I the only one that prefers it to Slack?
Weird
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).
