I use it daily and think it's excellent. Skype, on the 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.
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?
Too fuckin right m8
As if there's a single lead developer behind MS Teams. There's probably like 100+ devs working on it in a dozen teams or more.
Do you think the Microsoft Teams team uses Microsoft Teams in their teams to develop Microsoft Teams?

Bruh it was a placeholder cuz it took me a sec to find the meme lmao
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.
What other video call apps let you do that? Teams lets you mute others for everyone, and I do that semi-regularly for the exact reason you cited.
In my experience, neither Slack nor other apps (that all blow Teams out of the water) can do that - except Discord, which isn't exactly a common office meeting app.
💯
I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.
Buckle up, because they're doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It's already begun. There's a "new" Outlook. FML.
Am I the only one that prefers it to Slack?
Probably.
Teams is better for scheduled meetings, but Slack is better for literally everything else.
Slacks has awful organization of messages, IMO. I've also never been able to get consistent notifications between desktop and mobile on it.
