I hate it so much. I always say "I just assume you all see my screen. As you can see...". Screen sharing works in what? 99% of cases? We do not need to ask if everyone can see my screen and let 1-10 people answer that stupid question every time. The modus operandi is that this software works in the vast majority of cases and the recipients just need to know that I started sharing my screen and that it will in 99% of cases work just fine. Let them speak up for the 1% of times where it does not work.
I am also a big fan of ending my emails with "A response is not needed". Stop sending me replies with those stupid one line emails "Thank you so much for sending me what I asked you for.... bla bla". Not every emails needs a response.
That final one drives me crazy. My boss will respond to every email with a thank you. Why?
To acknowledge that they read it. Probably because that is what they want to see people do with their emails.
Good point, he does miss a lot of emails.
It works 95% of the time but it often takes 10+ seconds until everyone can see the screen.
I get your point, but teams is such a broken mess that I think the question is legitimate. Half the time it doesn't even register my microphone even if Windows doesn't have a problem with it.
Honestly, Teams works pretty much flawlessly for me. It's a resource hog and some actions (like switching between tabs) are inexcusably slow, but it works pretty well 99% of the time.
Maybe it's because I have a pretty beefy work laptop but I rarely have issues with Teams. I dread Zoom calls, though. The video quality seems worse and whatever noise reduction Teams has doesn't seem to exist on Zoom so it sounds bad, too. Not to mention the ugly interface
That said I'll take Zoom over webex any day. Thankfully Cisco is the only company I work with who uses it... And we make them use Teams when we host there meeting
It's funny, I've very recently had pretty much the opposite experiences with the Teams/Zoom reliability.
I had and interview project, and and in about 50% (around 15 out of 29-31, something like that) of the cases Teams calls failed pretty much in the beginning due to some technical problem, almost always the problems coming from the other end, on 1 case something unexplainably went to shit on my end (suddenly no sound or video), and I think of my self being pretty tech savvy on the user side. We had to fall back to phone calls for those "It's just Teams, no problems, I understand" cases.
In the Zoom calls, 5/5 worked without issues.
Wonder why this is such recurring issue. I mean, havent Microsoft poured hundreds of millions of euro/dollars into the app/infrastructure? Where is the money going?
Fun Fact, Teams under Linux works way better than under Windows...
The PWA? Shouldn’t it work the same everywhere?
Wait, what? I thought they killed Teams for Linux a few years back. I've been piping my Webcam to a Windows VM just so I can run Teams and Outlook.
Could teams run in waydroid? That would be a bit lighter if it could.
Ooh, that's a good suggestion to try, too! My specific problem with teams in the browser is the feedback cancelation bits. When I am unmuted, the people I'm chatting with hear themselves echoed. Using the full teams app in a windows VM with my webcam piped to the windows VM works fine. I'll try the AUR teams first, but if that doesn't work I'll look into waydroid, too. Thanks!
the AUR teams for arch works fine for me...
That's the exact opposite of what I've read in most linux threads on here. Most people seem to complain about teams not working at all under Linux.
FTFY.
I use Arch btw.
me too...
Teams not working at all is already way better in my opinion
