That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

Yeah... yeah... Atleast before I could use Ublock on Edge amd use the web browser for sharepoint/teams/etc.

[–] M33@lemmy.sdf.org 4 points 4 months ago

Yes. Typical MS corporate BS. Take "inspiration" from slack and zoom, make it great to steal the market, then make it worse and more expensive every once and a while.

I don't mind teams for chatting or meetings but I hate sharepoint and the Teams file "structure" with a passion.

[–] aarRJaay@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago (1 children)

haha file structure - it's going the Apple way of just chuck it in and then search for what you want rather than being a grown-up and keeping things organised and tidy

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 4 months ago

If the search function actually worked it could be passable.

[–] Artopal@lemmy.ml 3 points 4 months ago

Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.

Am I the only one that like Teams?

[–] tallpaul@lemm.ee 1 points 4 months ago

Seems to work fine for me. Shrug.

[–] JargonWagon@lemmy.world 2 points 4 months ago (1 children)

I'm sick of notifications not coming through on Teams. Fucking piece of shit program.

[–] cellardoor@lemmy.world 4 points 4 months ago

I'm sick of imaginary notifications coming through and making my taskbar flash, only to open it up and NOTHING IS THERE.

While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.

[–] phx@lemmy.ca 1 points 4 months ago

I find it's a bit of a toss-up. Teams does manage to fix/improve on many things that Skype did, but it also screws up in new and infuriating ways.

MS's modus operandi seems to be "bundle and make just good enough that corps will stay in our ecosphere and not going to buy into a competing product"
