Of all the meeting solutions, I’ve come to the conclusion that Google Meet is the least bad.
You can't set alerts for availability. This is functionality that it used to have, but lost across updates. This is by itself is enough to relegate it to the compost bin.
As with all things in business, good enough is king
I actually don't mind it being web based, there are a lot of web based tools that run perfectly fine and don't use that much resource
Teams is generally stable for me running the pwa in Microsoft edge nowadays too
i just hate everything about micro$oft nowadays to be honest.. and i use and always will use linux mainly aswell cause of my hatred for windows in general
Screen shared coding with 1 fps. Genius.
Can't even see animations, quick actions, or significant subtleties.
The only thing it does better than Slack: A list of all my chats, most recent at the top, without any disappearing or grouped in some weird way. Slack annoys me.
It may be crap, but it's a masterpiece compared to Skype for business.
It literally doesn't even function half the time.
I don't have any strong feelings about Teams. It just is what it is. It's a chat app for work, like it's just there to spy on me and keep me in contact with co-workers. It's whatever. Of all the things I think about in the day, Teams is not one of them.
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.

While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.
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.
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.
I think that’s a bit insensitive to dogs
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.
