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

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.

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.

I wish we could use Slack.

Yeah I'm going to go ahead and record this meeting. Please speak up if you object. Because we've provided so much psychological safety that there will surely be no judgement or fear of reprisal for those with any hesitation to swim in line with the corporate current. We're also going to share files in this chat that you'll have to catalogue and remember - so when someone refers to a nondescript file shared 3 weeks ago you'll be forced to know exactly which chat and file you're referring to. Also, put yourself on video. We appreciate face to face communication.

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.

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?

Haha be thankful for what you have. I work at a pretty large financial institution and we still use Skype for Business. There is another messaging app we use but not everyone is granted access to it so I have to use both apps daily.

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

I can’t believe we still can’t moderate chat in a public webinar…. « Hey the guy who wrote ‘FUCK’ 20 times? Yeah you can kick him out, but make sure to keep these messages visible for all posterity »

Can’t send private messages to outsiders also. Who could EVER need this in a public event anyway?

And make sure you can’t let people join the breakout room of their choice. Take the time to individually assign them one by one before the meeting! Fun!!

Hey at least we can play Backgammon in a meeting, so there’s that right?

[–] Artopal@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 months ago

Can confirm. The UI alone is atrocious.

[–] Rolive@discuss.tchncs.de 3 points 5 months ago (2 children)

I don't mind teams for chatting or meetings but I hate sharepoint and the Teams file "structure" with a passion.
