Teams’ invasive Wi‑Fi tracking sparks backlash as users say Microsoft crossed a line — “There must be a team at Microsoft tasked with making Teams worse”

  There’s a web client. I’ll use that from now on in I have to. Should I use any particular browser that prevents access to WiFi details?

    I’ve been using web client for work because the app takes seemingly over 50% of my laptop’s resources. Went from waiting 2-3 minutes for Teams to open at the beginning of the day to 10 seconds. Highly recommend.

    firefox or a fork of it, but I would be surprised if teams could read wifi info even in chrome. this is about when you install it as a desktop app, so that it can collect more data and consume more memory than it would otherwise.

  Productivity boosters and surveillance go hand in hand.

  Linux Mint is very easy to use.

  I had the unfortunate requirement to use Teams for about 3 months. I seriously cannot comprehend how a business exec has the audacity to approve it to be used as a company’s chat, specially with Slack being the other obvious option, as well as the few open source and self hosted ones. I really wish Teams was nuked. The worst experience I have ever had with a software.

  And the name of that team: Microsoft

  No worries, I use Linux for work and privately :)
