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.
The work of the devil
I use it daily and think it's excellent. Skype, on tnge other hand, is diabolical.
🌈You’re insane💫
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.
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.
Slack is better than Teams IMO, but I don't know if I'd call it "good."
Zulip is better than slack
Zoom and Google Meets have both worked better for me.
My company switched from WebEx to Teams and while Teams is not great it's way better than WebEx.
Within my actual team we just use Slack Huddles unless we have to record. For my personal stuff I prefer Jitsi.
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 can’t believe we still can’t moderate chat in a public webinar…. « Hey the guy who wrote ‘FUCK’ 20 times? Yeah you can kick him out, but make sure to keep these messages visible for all posterity »
Can’t send private messages to outsiders also. Who could EVER need this in a public event anyway?
And make sure you can’t let people join the breakout room of their choice. Take the time to individually assign them one by one before the meeting! Fun!!
Hey at least we can play Backgammon in a meeting, so there’s that right?
