Ngl teams is trash. Especially when IT keeps messing with settings they don’t understand.

    Easily the worst popular messaging app out there. Even on windows the thing barely ever worked for me and hogged a bunch of system resources to boot

    As with many messaging apps only thing keeping it alive is the network effect (and integration with 365)

    You moved your mouse near the calendar? LET ME CREATE A MEETING FOR YOU!

    You opened up a card from a planning board? LET ME TRUNCATE THE TITLE SO YOU CAN’T READ IT!

    You opened a document? HAHA CAN’T DO THAT FROM YOUR IP BUT YOU WON’T GET AN ERROR MESSAGE JUST AN INFINITELY SPINNING DOODAD!

    I wish they just copied better apps like the Microsoft of old did.

    Oh you want to use the default audio devices on your system? What default audio devices I'm going to use this random loopback device and your monitor with no speakers!

    I have had to help so many end users with that it pains me.

    "How can I stop this from happening again?"

    Well, we can disable.other audio devices, but seeing as it's Windows 11 they may just re-enable good luck!

    I ran into a user who's noise cancellation stopped working upon the rollout of "New" Teams. Tried diagnosing the microphone array, settings updates, firmware. No luck.

    Know what worked? Both versions of browser based Teams!!! Ihatethemihatethemihatethem

    Never heard of any Windows re-enabling disabled audio devices.

    Deleted devices sure, because it automatically installs drivers of "new" devices so they automatically work for even technologically incapable users.

    Did you run the Windows troubleshooter for that New Teams bug? Contrary to popular believe in the Sysadmin circles, those actually work pretty well.

    As someone near in the administration of it, Microsoft are at fault, they permanently make breaking changes for no obvious reason

    My boss has gotten to the point of "As Ashe would say, fucking Microsoft"

    Let's not forget the endless name changes, 404'd documentation that points to non existent tools all of the time, the GUI that barely works. Always an adventure

    IT enforced background blur for GDPR reasons. You simply couldn't turn it off, so everybody was blurred during the daily standup.

    I despise these blurred backgrounds. I understand if you use it when working from home and don't have a dedicated office, but so many people do it even when they're at the corporate office. The flickering is just super annoying.
