A meme is an idea, behavior, or style that spreads by means of imitation from person to person within a culture and often carries symbolic meaning representing a particular phenomenon or theme.
An Internet meme or meme, is a cultural item that is spread via the Internet, often through social media platforms. The name is by the concept of memes proposed by Richard Dawkins in 1972. Internet memes can take various forms, such as images, videos, GIFs, and various other viral sensations.

dont tell him that. then he might see you. unlike all the trash he let through.
Where meme?
Every update, some thing breaks. The "new" Teams does not work well with the microphone on my work laptop, I've had to resort to using headphones. The interface just sucks too. I hate that the left pane auto-hides now. So inconvenient. It's not just Teams too. Every part of Office has broken for us during previous updates. I miss the times when Windows was just an OS for the most part and MS was not trying hard to be Apple.
if you like a feature that ms software has, and can't bear to part with it, the only option is open source.
Web based teams has worked better than app based teams for years on all of my computers. I haven't touched the app in a long time at this point because i just gave up on it.

I have a small business and we all work from home. Teams is amazing for remote working. Great for chatting, sharing screens and remote controlling another computer. Don't know why it's getting so much hate.
Its features are great, like any other web confrence software that does the same.
However the constant UI changes lead to a lot of issues for IT people who have re-tech the entire staff how to use it every update. For a small business thats not probably too bad. For somewhere with hundreds of employee working from home who barley know where the start menu is - that's a nightmare.
The "new" teams doesn't work with business accounts. you have to use the specific, now seperate, version for "work and school". Guess which one the everyone's existing desktop link is to? Now IT has to get everyone to use the right version of teams...an absolutely insane choice and terrible end user expirence.
Teams feels a bit like a never ending beta. On one hand, it's kind of nice to get constant tweaks and it's generally pretty good. On the other, things do break from time to time. There's also the whole "new teams" thing, which feels... very similar to "old teams". All the old sillyness, like not being able to folder dive in a team while chatting (it will forget where you were when you switch back) for not much benefit. It also is a big regression in basics like spell check speed. It takes seconds for a red squiggle to send, so now my spoild self has to wait a bit before hitting enter.
At least it's not new outlook. Everything on that is way slower and it's very clear the UI was not optimized for a computer. Left click to spell check in an email body, right click to spell check in an email title. Want to add formatting in a meeting invite? Ha, that's rich. Even very basic things like changing fonts take forever.
Both feel a bit like a new PM being given the reigns and going at it. I struggle to see what was so wrong with the old versions, especially outlook...
Because it's objectively worse than every major alternative while being absurdly resource intensive. Just watching it struggle feels like the punchline to a very dry & tragically unfunny joke

Why has Teams for GNU/Linux been discontinued, you bastard?
(yes, there's an unofficial client thankfully)
(which you're not allowed to use, depending on company policy)
isn't it literally just a wrapper around the browser version? don't see how browser usage might be allowed but not this

Am I the only one on Lemmy who uses Teams every day and basically has no issues? It’s not perfect, but I much prefer it over SfB, Lync, G2M, WebEx, Zoom & RingCentral.
I feel like people who hate Teams never had to suffer through Skype for Business, which truly was one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever used in my life. It used the layout engine from WORD to render chat windows. It had an unsynchronized mobile client that 9/10 never received messages unless it was open while the person sent it. It was hell.
Most of Teams’ problems stem from it being an Electron app that aggressively caches everything, which new Teams actually solves so I’m pretty happy with it. I also have to support users of it for our org too, so I don’t just use it constantly I also have to fix it if it breaks, so it’s not just lack of awareness of common issues.
It is lack of awareness, the users don't report most problems to you. If they did, you wouldn't have time to do anything but read the problems. I don't report to IT every bug that annoys me in teams, because they can't do shit about it and it would take hours for me to list them
Yeah that would make sense if I also didn’t have to use it all day every day.
Also just because you don’t report issues, doesn’t mean others don’t. I never said it was perfect, far from it. But it’s as good or better than many alternatives.
Sometimes it messes up my status and says I'm idle when I'm working on a second screen and also sometimes doesn't notify me about messages but I still think it's alright

Haha, funny. But I actually know the lead developer behind Teams.
It's Microsoft Copilot.
Makes sense
Microsoft has become really effective at developing malware like Windows, edge, teams, etc and selling it to corporations to spy on employees and contractors

zoom is the best one except for the weirdly horrible chat feature
And the software you need to install
