This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.
I don’t have a coding background but I’ve used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.
Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.
Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?
I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don’t touch anything else and performance hadn’t been an issue. (Likely because I’ve been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)
Why is teams terrible?
Why can I see multiple calendars in outlook but only see my calendar in teams? How does that make it useful to schedule team meetings?
Why are updates always available even though I just updated?
Why can I only pin one post in a group chat?
Why does teams always use its own audio settings over the system settings?
Why haven’t they implemented proper push to talk?
Why is it that every few updates one of my meeting members randomly gets muted?
Why does “Meet Now” basically accomplish what a group call does but the notifications don’t really go out?
Why do I need to”Apps” in my teams?
After my call hangs up because the phone app is having issues, how come the other person could still see and hear me?
Why do you assume I want to use onedrive?
Why can’t my favorites also appear in chats in a chronological order?
Why is @everyone even a feature? This isn’t discord.
I think the calendar thing recently changed. It is now very similar to Outlook
Sorry for hijacking this, I have a similar issue. When you say similar to outlook, is there a way to see shared (group?) calendars in teams like in outlook? I feel very stupid for not finding this.
Yes, I just got the notification like yesterday or so and now I have the same list of calendars on the left side as I have it in Outlook. Maybe it still needs to roll out for you
That would be amazing timing, this use case came up a few days ago. I’ll check if there is an update, thanks for the info
Heads up, you can see multiple calendars at the same time. The apps thing is interesting because you can embed things like PBI dashboards into a channel, making it easy for everyone to access. It is possible that the configuration at your work is preventing these things. But even when properly configured, everything is just 16 easy clicks away. Ugg.
I guess there is an update I’m missing
It is like a quest I’m on with MS to let them know that poor configuration is the number one impediment to their products. Users can’t tell the difference and assume it is always MS, when it is only them a portion of the time. 😉
You can see other people’s calendars in Teams, just click “schedule meeting” and use the scheduling assistant just like you would in outlook. If you’re looking at calendars manually before booking meetings you’re doing it wrong to start with.
They aren’t.
To prevent stupid people pinning so many messages that the feature becomes useless.
Because the system settings are usually not what you want, most people don’t leave their headset on all day and only pick it up for calls.
What’s wrong with Ctrl+Spacebar? I use it all the time
Why are updates happening during your meetings? How would that even work?
I’ll agree with this one, meet now isn’t useful. Just call the person.
Because teams is a Communications AND Collaboration tool, if you’re only using it for communication you’re clearly haven’t taken any sort of training on how to use it properly or you’d be using the apps all the time.
Never had this happen
I agree with this one, I hate OneDrive, it’s bad data governance. Everything should live in a shared space at work.
If you have so many favorites that it’s an issue, you’re doing it wrong. See #3.
Because some types of organizations use this frequently, just because a feature doesn’t apply to your work situation doesn’t mean it doesn’t apply to others.
Edit: Oof, people don’t like to have it pointed out that they lack education do they?
Found the Teams developer!
Nope I just use it every day in the standard office environment for which it was specifically intended.
“Teams knows best!”
Teams in in use by a few hundred million users, and most of them don’t complain about them. So maybe they do know best.
Every time we have to join the Teams call of another company, every one of my colleagues (in a GSuite company) complains how bad Teams is at doing calls. Isn’t it supposed to be a tool for doing calls?
No, it’s not.
Teams is a Communications and Collaboration tool, not strictly a communications tool. It makes certain tradeoffs in order to optimize it for it’s intended use case.
So that’s why it’s much worse than Google Meet at doing the one thing I need to use it for.
Interesting choice by Microsoft to make everyone who isn’t using the entire suite think they’re just terrible at the job you expect from them.
Anyone who has a software license for Teams has their entire suite, and Microsoft doesn’t market enterprise products to end users.
