Am I the only one on Lemmy who uses Teams every day and basically has no issues? It’s not perfect, but I much prefer it over SfB, Lync, G2M, WebEx, Zoom & RingCentral.

I feel like people who hate Teams never had to suffer through Skype for Business, which truly was one of the worst pieces of software I’ve ever used in my life. It used the layout engine from WORD to render chat windows. It had an unsynchronized mobile client that 9/10 never received messages unless it was open while the person sent it. It was hell.

Most of Teams’ problems stem from it being an Electron app that aggressively caches everything, which new Teams actually solves so I’m pretty happy with it. I also have to support users of it for our org too, so I don’t just use it constantly I also have to fix it if it breaks, so it’s not just lack of awareness of common issues.

It is lack of awareness, the users don't report most problems to you. If they did, you wouldn't have time to do anything but read the problems. I don't report to IT every bug that annoys me in teams, because they can't do shit about it and it would take hours for me to list them

Yeah that would make sense if I also didn’t have to use it all day every day.

Also just because you don’t report issues, doesn’t mean others don’t. I never said it was perfect, far from it. But it’s as good or better than many alternatives.

Sometimes it messes up my status and says I'm idle when I'm working on a second screen and also sometimes doesn't notify me about messages but I still think it's alright

Yeah, I've found it funky but usable. Unfortunately they resolved a bug where you always show online if you're on a laptop in balanced power mode and it's plugged in lol. That was a great feature

My God Skype for Business was so bad. Nowadays I prefer zoom or even a slack hangout, but anything is better than Skype for Business.

It's fine for features. The UI design reminds me of phone apps; you have to guess what the symbol means rather than using actual text, but for the most part it does it's job of facilitating office communications. Files are a bitch, but i don't have to use those in teams too often.

My hate stems from its godawful search, and the fact that it struggles to load goddamn text. I swear to god i can count the seconds for each scroll upwards and i hate it.

Why does Teams break my wireless headset (which I'm required to use for my job) half the time and half the time it's fine? That's one of my biggest gripes with it tbh. Our IT department couldn't figure it out. I'll open teams and suddenly my headset stops working and it fixes itself when I close Teams. The browser client version of the app doesn't seem to do this though thankfully.
