Teams does a lot of things right, it was designed to replace Skype business and in that aspect they have definitely made something better and easier to interact with. That being said it’s still a garbage chat app, and I would never use it outside of work.

Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?
The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.
It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it
Someone calls and it rings, but the answer me button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling
Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call
Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes
And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage
I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is
And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams 😅

Don’t even try and format code with markdown, now you have to make a post with a title.

Yep, no one likes the “post” style inside of the team space… so we chat inside of group DMs. It’s so fucking stupid

how often do you use teams? And do you usually have network issues? I have pretty stable Internet and don’t run into any of these issues but I could see the occurring if teams doesn’t have a stable connection.
Teams opening files in teams is super annoying though.

I use it 5 days a week for work and don’t have connectivity problems.
These issues are company wide and are not unique to me. I would switch isp providers if that would solve the issue. It’s bad enough that if you want a new computer you just talk to tech support about the issues and they’ll send you a new one since they can’t fix it (not that the new laptops work any better with teams)

do you mostly communicate with people in your company or do you talk with external people too?
Don’t get me wrong, I know teams has issues, I have my own list of complaints, I’m just surprised how different your complaints are.
