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 🤡
I mean , works for me. You know what is complete bullshit?
SKYPE. Using that in a work environment is a nightmare
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.
i hate ms with every fiber of my being, but teams has gotten better. it used to be practically unusable. now its just mostly so
I have an office account for work. I don’t happen upon the troubles people report here. I couldn’t leave MS as I basically use all their stuff for work (and so do the several other hundreds of employees here). But teams does work well: texting, videocalls with 100s of participants, recording meetings, file repositories
I use teams every day. My only gripe recently is the messages like “look the wonderful things we did to improve it” that I didn’t need and will probably never use, but I press the little X don’t know don’t care
I love how they rolled out the new upgraded Teams and it's still awful!
Of all the Microsoft products I’m forced to use for work, teams is by far the best. It still sucks. Fuck Microsoft. Fuck monopolies.
Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.
They make use it at my job. I hate it.
Microsoft spent billions acquiring Skype only for us to be left with Teams
Is there any video chat service that isn't? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it's not like I could just use a FOSS thing that's better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you're going to be talking to is using. :(
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.
It sucks, it doesn't work properly in Firefox, so I have keep it open in a Chromium window too. This morning I saw new messages in my Chromium but not in Firefox until I reloaded the page. I wonder what other information it's keeping from me.
Microsoft ~~Teams~~ is dog shit
FTFY
Genuinely the single worst messaging app I've ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.
