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

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.

My biggest complaint is that you can't save chat logs.

I work in government, and we do a LOT of stuff on Teams, and I'm just waiting for us to get sued because we can't turn over Teams chat logs in Open Records requests.

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 am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

I’m annoyed you still can’t do annotations with Teams.

[–] cybermass@lemmy.ca 4 points 3 months ago

If teams was just teams and didn't have all this cross integration bullshit with OneDrive/SharePoint and Todo and viva I wouldn't mind it.

But no, it has to be part of the ecosystem 🤮

Why do they want IT admins to be useless?

While I have close to zero trust in MSFT and event much dislike a lot of m365, teams isn’t actually that bad and loop is really good.

Thank you! Finally someone has the guts to say this publicly

Fuck everything about Microsoft products. The different licenses are a nightmare, the programs are shit, and "FUCK YOU FOR TRYING TO INSTALL A PROGRAM OR USE LOCAL STORAGE" seems to be the default.

Also I don't trust them not to be spying on users. But sure, every government job I've had we used the products.
