That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

    Microsoft Teams isn’t all bad! For example, it bogged down my work computer so much at start up that I would basically get an extra break.

      It temporarily deletes my meetings just before they happen, so that I don’t have to attend them!

      Of course, when I open it later, the meetings are restored, with the original date, and no trace of the deletion. So not attending them is quite hard to explain to others. But it does save me from attending!

      Oooh, I hate it so bad…… I used to click “Save” and my word document would ask to save in the only folder I save ALL my documents in. Change the name, save, so easy!

      Now it asks if I want to save to OneDrive… Fuck No Mr Paperclip! I want it in the folder I always use and don’t want to have to select “Other” then dig through screens to select the thing I use every time!

    What blows my mind is MS fucking bought Skype and somehow Teams still can’t handle video calls correctly. The actual fuck did they do with that acquisition?

      How the fuck did they let motherfucking Zoom take over. The video-call equivalent of “Googling” something was to “Skype.” When Covid hit, Microsoft screwed the pooch horribly.

      My sister is super high ranking at Microsoft, and when she calls the family, she uses Zoom.

      Skype used to be peer to peer. Your call went from you to your friend (whomever). Microsoft decided that they couldn’t mitm that setup to scrape data; so, soon after they acquired Skype, they made all calls go through their servers.

      Then they tried to make Skype make more money, since those servers aren’t free. Then they made teams and copied half the code into that, and cludged the rest to make it hold together.

        In mean aside from the fact that almost all of that story is completely wrong, it’s a good story.

        Source: Used to work at Microsoft and worked a lot with people from the Skype team.

    The file/document integration is based on SharePoint. Shit built on top of a nice pile of manure

    Edit: and don’t get me started on the teams android app which requires access to all your media if you try to share a single image. If you share it as a file attachment however it’s completely fine. No you’re not getting access to my files and pictures MS, keep your filthy adware fingers off my data

    Is there a Microsoft product that isn’t?

    To be fair, Teams is pretty bad even for MS. I’ve never seen something do so relatively little and still perform so poorly. When I switched jobs and got to use Slack it was like a great fog being lifted off of my being.

    I was expecting a detailed rant, including an example or two. “That’s all” is much, much funnier.

    Fuck Microsoft. But first, Fuck Google, Fuck Amazon, Fuck Facebook. I am sure I could think of a few more that are worse than Microsoft, as bad as they are.

      I’m sick of imaginary notifications coming through and making my taskbar flash, only to open it up and NOTHING IS THERE.

    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. :(

    It’s still better than WebEx because I don’t have to log in to that piece of shit software to start a video call.
