My workplace unfortunately uses Microsoft Teams and last week I got a modal popup which said "Your organization is switching to the new Teams." with a singular button "Switch to the new Teams".
No close button, no maybe-later button, and I needed to get into a fucking meeting.
I quickly tried to remove the popup via browser tools, but it wouldn't easily budge.
I saw in the background that there was a toggle for switching, so I bit the bullet and clicked that button, hoping it would still work afterwards and if not, that there would be a toggle to switch back.
It changed to a loading screen, then refreshed, and I was presented with said new Teams.
What is new Teams? I still have no clue. They applied some slightly different CSS styling, otherwise it seems to be exactly the same.
the removed like half of the features (including mic tray), removed ukrainian localization (which my mom relied on), removed the option to disable hw acceleration (which is borked with my specific gpu in chromium and results in extremely blurry text and ghosting artifacts) and switched to ms edge webview from chromium (so if you're using windows and uninstall edge, it won't start)
Doesn't seem worth making a lot of fuss over adding a "new" label.
On my work computer this causes all the shadows and such behind windows to flash. Various other UI elements flash too. It's extremely annoying.
yeah some stuff that's on top of new teams video freds flashes. e.g. if i put a cursor or a window shadow over any other participant's video feed it does that.
They’re changing a bunch of things about how the Office apps work. They’re doing a similar thing with Outlook. There’s also now “New Outlook” that they push you towards, which looks a little bit fresher yet is also missing features from the last version.
I’m assuming they’re changing something architecturally about how the apps are put together, but the only thing I’ve actually seen is the bugs and all the headaches that come from migrating everybody to what’s basically a brand new app.
I despise new outlook. They removed spell check and secure messaging! When I posted about it in the Microsoft forum they said they don't plan on adding those back in the near future. What the actual fuck Microsoft?!
They're in a lawsuit with slack about monopoly. They can't sell it bundled with 365 in the EU anymore, and they appear to be planning to separate it Globally. That's the most generous reading, but Microsoft forces annoying changes all the time, so it may just be Microsoft being Microsoft. Also new teams installs very differently than teams, especially if using virtual desktops with either nonpersistent machines and/or using FSLogix, which is irritating from a support perspective. Imagine having to reinstall teams every time you reboot (there are ways around it, but we had to track them down unexpectedly and our client wasn't happy).
