Is this another case of companies use Teams just because it’s already bundled, therefore it’s “good enough”?

No, they also use it because it integrates with the rest of the Office products. That makes it more appealing than other products like Zoom.

So it offers more and better, or at least different, features than the competitors?

It has some use cases for the ecosystem. But it sucks so bad, give me slack, he’ll id take discord over teams, and I hate discord.

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.

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.

It’s thrown in with Office licencing and Office/Outlook integration makes it path of least resistance for defunded, over stressed (ie most) IT shops.

Teams started out okay. But the recent update made it worse. The microphone constantly disconnects now. Earlier today I lost sound completely just when I was being asked to talk. And the sound starts to get choppy during screen shares. I rarely had these issues with Webex and Zoom. So it’s not even more compatible with their own software. EU doesn’t have anything to worry about. /s

Oooh ooh can it take a decade and can we end it by not doing a fucking thing? Y’know like last time?

This time it’s the EU, so let’s see if they can learn from the US failing

Teams is the absolute worst, my SO has some interviews lately and we had to figure out how to make it work:
- Linux + Firefox
- Plz create a Microsoft account. Urg… Fine.
- Sorry, web browser not supported. BS
- User-Agent switcher: ok you’re in ! But other participants don’t see the webcam feed despite it showing just fine on our end
- Ok, let’s try Chromium. Nope, can’t join the meeting
- Let’s go over to the MacBook Air. Can’t install Chrome, MacOS is too old, no more updates from Apple
- Let’s try on Android. Would work, if you could find a way to open the meeting link in the App LoL !
- Ok, let’s install, windows 11 and get it working, fucking painful, again create and account, sign all of our most intimate data off to the overlords, takes fucking hours to install… #GettingThingsSetupForyou… #Hi
- Finally, Install Flatpak Chrome on Linux, works ! WTF… I am so fucking done with this…

This is the best summary I could come up with:
According to three people with knowledge of the move, the European Commission is pressing ahead with a formal charge sheet against the world’s most valuable listed tech company over concerns it is restricting competition in the sector.
Microsoft last month offered concessions as it sought to avoid regulatory action, including extending a plan to unbundle Teams from other software such as Office, not just in Europe but across the world.
The EU then issued a 561 million euro fine against Microsoft for failure to comply with a decision over the bundling of the Internet Explorer browser with its Windows operating system.
The company declined to comment but referred to an earlier statement that said it would “continue to engage with the commission, listen to concerns in the marketplace, and remain open to exploring pragmatic solutions that benefit both customers and developers in Europe.”
Microsoft is also part of a handful of tech companies, including Google and Meta, caught as “gatekeepers” under the new Digital Markets Act, meaning it has special responsibilities when trading in Europe.
The tech company has also faced complaints from European cloud computing providers that are concerned that Microsoft is abusing its dominant position in the sector to force users to buy its products and squashing competition from smaller start-ups in Europe.
