Android also has this problem with stock and Google apps. google stopped using the name Google on their apps so now Google contacts is contacts, google clock is clock, etc. so you get two apps for each, one stock and one google except you don't know which is which because they're both called the same name and usually have very similar icons.

Go into Settings > Apps > and there you see the apps internal name. com.google.something is Google app. Disable it and clear cache & data.

Or...they could have a saner, simpler solution for their own OS.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Ah, but it's Google, so, no.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Isn't it fall to the OEM that specifically uses google technology to disable it if they want people to use their version? Android can be used without google after all.

Three of those are "new"

[-] [email protected] 40 points 3 days ago

Oh. I see the problem. You're using Microsoft Teams. You're supposed to be using Microsoft Teams. We sent out a PSA specifically telling users to only use Microsoft Teams, and we still have those idiots incessantly using Microsoft Teams.

[-] [email protected] 20 points 3 days ago

New teams, or teams (new)?

Surpise its neither! Teams classic.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

New Teams New Classic, but the old version.

[-] [email protected] 3 points 3 days ago

The New Teams Classic (machine-wide installer)

For a while back then, I thought XMPP was going to solve integration between messaging apps. I even wrote a "serverless" multi-player game in college that used a chatroom as a link between game instances.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

People on imessage and messenger could talk to eachother through xmpp for a short while iirc.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago

There was a glorious time where I had a single messaging app on my PC with Facebook Messenger contacts, Google Chat contacts, friends using Jabber specifically, and contacts on an IM popular in my country (think MSN).

All together in a single app.

[-] [email protected] 9 points 3 days ago* (last edited 3 days ago)

Believe it or not, Windows Phone 7 had that in 2010-2011, right into the OS itself. They integrated it on a per-contact level too, you just clicked on say Craig and had a drop-down to switch which service to message Craig on, but it was a single message history that integrated all the services. It was a damn good mobile OS, way ahead of the curve, easy on resources, slick animations, had UI/UX consistency, accessibility like putting all menus at the bottom of the screen so you can reach them with your thumb, including the damn browser address bar (which only now made it to Edge). But of course, being Microsoft, they fudged it horribly and it died a slow painful death while the head of Windows Phone kept denying it was dead like a damn cult leader.

[-] [email protected] 5 points 3 days ago

I too, am a widow of Windows Phone.

[-] [email protected] 2 points 2 days ago

Web OS had that all the way back on the original Palm Pre too. One messaging app that included SMS/MMS, Google Chat, AIM, facebook, Yahoo!, etc. It was a beautiful phone and I miss it almost as much as I miss Windows Phone.

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

Amazing. Yeah, I heard good things about the Palm Pre.

[-] [email protected] 4 points 3 days ago

Pidgin is still around, I got teams, discord and element on it.

You hear that Microsoft? We need another Teams app to add to the pile.

[-] [email protected] 8 points 3 days ago

Shit on teams time! DAE hate Microsoft?

[-] [email protected] 5 points 2 days ago

I've seen two of the icons, but don't know the other two. How...?

[-] [email protected] 1 points 2 days ago

The main types of teams are:

  • Microsoft Teams
  • New Teams
  • Teams Classic
  • Teams for School
  • Teams Personal.
[-] [email protected] 45 points 4 days ago

I see your teams, and raise you: • Slack post-salesforce. • google hangouts • Google hangouts • increasingly, Discord.

[-] [email protected] 31 points 4 days ago

Google is worse, but no one knows about it because no one uses it.

I think we're on google chat and google meet (both separate for some reason) now. Before we had hangouts which could do both, and google duo, for just video calling, before we had allo, but before that we had google talk.

Every day I get 20 surveys after calls even though I have them disabled. Most of the time I leave one star, specify an audio issue, and then select "the other side couldn't hear me". I do this because it's true, the other person didn't answer and I left a voicemail you fucking piece of shit Teams.

[-] [email protected] 11 points 3 days ago

Every day at work I ask co pilot to do task and when it fails and returns a completely fucken useless output I give it a thumbs up and submit it to Microsoft claiming the response was a useful response.

I hope I'm poisoning the data somehow but I'm probably wasting my time.

I don’t use teams, but is this like the opposite of HBO who has had a dozen names for the same app? Teams has a dozen apps all called Microsoft Teams? That would actually make sense considering Microsoft also calls everything copilot.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

Also renamed RDP to "Windows App" adding extra complexity to searching. Geniuses I tell you.

[-] [email protected] 6 points 3 days ago

They indeed have several apps called Teams, 2 of them are incompatible by design: the home and the business version. Both of which probably have different active versions by now, all called Teams. And the user doesn't know which one they have open.

What's broken with Microsoft changes over time and I haven't used Teams in a good while, but at one point it was possible to send someone a teams meeting invite, they would download teams from the link in the mail and get the home version unbeknownst to them, leaving them unable to join. Microsoft would decide which version the user got based on their Windows account, regardless of the invite.

One solution for this was to find a direct download link of the right version of Teams, which was posted on some trouble shooting page. But even with the right version, the user could still be automatically logged into that teams with the wrong account. For meetings outside the company, it was just easier to not use teams.

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago

I've always heard Teams is crap but I've never used it. My company is switching to it though. What crap things do I have to look forward to?

[-] [email protected] 30 points 4 days ago

are they switching to Teams or Teams?

[-] [email protected] 14 points 4 days ago* (last edited 4 days ago)

Neither, didn't you pay attention? OP clearly said Teams, not Teams or Teams

Imagine being an archeologist reading this thread in the year 3025. That's why it all crashed, they must have been poisoned by the smog. Nothing else can explain such a sudden onset of cognitive disabilities

If you have any key depressed, for any reason, including but not limited to having taped a key (eg. ctrl) down, Teams will register you as "available", rather than "away".
