I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

Unfortunately, much better than Skype

It’s possible to be worse?

Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn't run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven't put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.

I miss that ringtone though.

The "boop beeep boop... Beee-ooop beep" one?

[-] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 6 points 3 months ago

Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?

Teams was a factor in leaving my last job. It was a small factor, but a factor nevertheless.

Have to use it at work, it is a real nightmare.

Is there any video chat service that isn't? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it's not like I could just use a FOSS thing that's better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you're going to be talking to is using. :(

I initially hated Zoom, but honestly, it did its job really well

well, it's not just Teams and not just MS. Have you worked with Zoom lately? I do agree that Teams occupies that very special dark space in my heart right next to hate and loathing.

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.

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.
