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

We user / have used Slack, Zoom, Meet/Gchat and a VERY brief trial of teams.
We have O365 AND Google Workspaces so we get teams and meet for free.
Zoom is the best to host a large meeting with a split presence. It’s the best at dealing with variably poor connections. It shines on being able to share any specific app and sound control.
Meet is the best for small, low-friction meetings. However, it is hampered by its inability to share anything but browser tabs with sound, poor camera control, and poor user display.
Slack is a fantastic, too-flexible chat system with organizational issues. When it works, it works pretty well. However, it has intermittent video and mic problems on many systems. It is not good on poor connections and occasionally not good on fast connections.
Teams is bloated, many systems run it poorly, and there is an unacceptable amount of server-imposed downtime/issues.
Genuinely the single worst messaging app I’ve ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.
Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.
It’s still better than WebEx because I don’t have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.
WebEx Teams (now just WebEx?) is leaps better… In that it works.
fucking WebEx
I shudder when I go to an Apple meeting because they use Webex. (Shudder)
I actually like Webex better because the audio doesn’t get choppy where I’m from. For Teams to have good audio, I’ve had to call from my mobile, and I get charged for that.
Today it decided to not mark messages read after I had opened them.
That happens to me regularly. Plus it will have different read statuses in the channel list, pins, and notifications.
Omg are you me?
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.
💯
Spoken like a person who isn’t forced to use JIRA
Jira seems more consistent than Teams, and I’m in more control of Jira too.
We have that pile of dog shit as well!
Let us not forget confluence
Somehow still better than sharepoint
We have every one of these, all used lol
SharePoint I’d available company wide but the confluence and Jira are mostly just our department. Sucks to maintain stuff twice
The problem with sharepoint is its all invite only here.
They hoped confluence would fix. But in reality everyone uses the Docusaurus sites my team and another team spun up.
Docusaurus is an underrated project.
I have all 3 D:
We do jira + bitbucket + confluence + teams.
sounds suspiciously like we work together. 🤔
Grab lunch tomorrow?
only if the boss is paying 🤣
deleted by creator
We just switched to Jira and I hate how pedantic they let admins make it.
Who in their right mind disables the “clone” option on issues 🤦♂️
Spoken like someone who hasn’t had to use both!
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?
Ah, they’re all crap.
Came to Teams from Slack, some upsides, some downsides. It’s a corporate communication tool, I don’t use it because I think it’s beautiful and elegant, I use it because I get paid money to use it.
No, no! Dogshit sometimes fertilizes and promotes growth. Microsoft teams is poison.
Microsoft Teams isn’t all bad! For example, it bogged down my work computer so much at start up that I would basically get an extra break.
Hahaha!
Fuckin epic!
fuxk yea I get like an extra 30 mins a day at leastttt
It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!
Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!
Just do in what I do. Don’t join meetings most of the time. That way when you do it is noteworthy to the meeting stakeholder.
Yeah sure my manglers through the years try to have ‘the talk’ but after awhile of training them via sheer apathy they shut the fuck up.
Take a print
The one problem with that is that I need to know I’m not being told about a meeting to take a print.
The the screen recording always on lol
Oh, nice, Windows 11 will fix Teams!
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.
It literally doesn’t even function half the time.
