Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone want Teams in their car?!
I even don't know a single person who wants it on their computer.

If you use it for work, now you can count your commute as part of the work day.
That actually seems like a win win minus all the extra car accidents. A small price to pay for productivity
Employers will surely agree
Should be counted as it anyway.
Had a chat with a friend a while ago. She only has a 15-30 minute commute. Assuming the best, thatβs still 2 hours and 30 minutes a week. Thatβs ten hours unpaid time a month.
If your company uses Teams in place of a traditional phone system (which is becoming more common) then being able to answer phone calls from that system in the car easily is definitely an advantage.
Why? Most people's commute is unpaid, plus one of the dangers of talking on the phone while driving is not necessarily tapping at the screen, but the conversation.
So now we have more people working unpaid and driving distracted.
I'm not talking about during a commute. I'm talking about driving from site to site during the work day.
Yes, but as they pointed out talking on the phone while driving is a distraction that increases the likelihood of an accident.
Mainly to catch a pointless meeting while I leave work instead of staying at work for the pointless meeting.
Id rather be driving home saying nothing than sitting at a desk saying nothing.
Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.
Great. The one app I actively avoid all the times is chasing me around like a scooby doo villain now.
But why?
Meh, the reality is Android Auto is such a bad idea anyway.
Being dependent on auto manufacturers to keep their head units up to date is silly. They're terrible at this game.
Ever had a car with GPS? My Android phone has beat car GPS since 2006. I have a new car in the family, and it will never see a mapping update. Oh, they claim it will exist, but when? And for how much? And when the manufacturer of that hardware ceases operations, what then? We use it just to have a map up, and phones for actual nav, for voice directions.
Until we see open hardware in head units (so we can manage it ourselves), it will continue to be a shitshow. But we know manufacturers will never give up that control.
I thought the phone rendered the UI shown on the headunit and all it does is pass though the video and button presses. I haven't had a headunit update in 6 years and android auto is running the newest UI.
I really don't want to be available for work while I'm driving. At least give me that time frame for myself.
I can scare think of something I want less hahaha.
My dude, I want two things in my Android Auto, and two things only: Maps and Spotify*. That's it. Stop cramming stupid shit that can't be used while I'm driving, what the hell.
*swap it for your music player of choice.
Vii music is great as well.
No thanks. Keep the shitty electron app off my phone.
How is that safe? And some people actually use their commutes to not work.
Not my boss. He'll be on a teams call while driving to the office. I don't get it.
That thumbnail is cursed
They can't even make a decent version for Windows, a platform they control entirely. The Copilot keyboard key, now this. Strange choices coming out of this company lately.
skype
But why?
damn microsoft why you have to threaten us like that
Apparently we haven't killed enough pedestrians yet.
Time to hack my car if this is forced on it
