finally? who was asking for it
Cool, can’t wait!
Using Teams is a pretty big catch already.
I use teams. I don’t understand why people hate it… it’s not terrible I think. I don’t have it on my phone though since everyone wants the required Microsoft program thst I can’t think of the name that sllows companies to delete your phone remotely.
Intune?
I work with Teams as an admin.
- Teams is a resource hog.
- Under the hood it appears to be a mess.
- The user workflow aggressively tries to prevent users from multitasking, despite many jobs requiring this.
- Product design is a shining example of the greater Microsoft philosophy of forcing customers to adapt their business to Microsoft’s technology instead of having technology flexible enough to adapt to a customer’s business needs.
- From an admin standpoint it has numerous questionable design decisions surrounding UC. For example, you can register non-Teams SIP phones to it, but you can’t see the IP addresses of these registered devices(?!). In general, from a telephony standpoint, Teams is good at providing dial tone and some very basic telephony features, enough to make senior leadership think that it does everything, but if you need UC functionality for more than users who sit at a desk all day it falls apart quickly.
- My conversations with representatives from the product team at Microsoft suggests they are out of touch with how businesses use telephones.
It randomly closes on me, it is very slow often, sometimes for no reason there is not audio even though everything is configured correctly and I need to restart the computer a few times.
It’s way too slow for what it does. IRC clients from 20 years ago were able to switch between chats instantly. The user status (online, offline, etc.) is so inaccurate it might as well be random.
Not only that the user status is horribly inaccurate but too many people use it to decide if you are currently working or not.
Everything past making a call is awful, and those aren’t as good as zoom or most other video conferencing/calling apps. Teams is like the instant ramen version of what it is trying to be.
Everything past making a call is awful
Making a call doesn’t work on a random browser selection that changes every time the thing is updated. It also takes about half a minute to complete a call. And the audio quality is significantly worse than in meetings.
And the most interesting, the brokeness doesn’t apply to attending meetings. Those have completely independent broken cases.
Honestly, there isn’t any single thing in Teams that just works properly.
This is an excellent meme format
