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

    Honestly I don’t know how it is even possible to make such a dog shit product. I think my first webrtc tutorial app works better than this piece of shit.

      I hate teams and have to use it for work . They insist on having all the important documents I need accessed through teams instead of just putting them in a folder .

        Your IT team is doing it wrong then. You can map SharePoint sites directly to file explorer. Now that brings on a whole different set of issues ala OneDrive, which IMO is an even steamier pile of shit, but still - it’s better than going straight through Teams

          I would give almost anything to just be able to rename a Sharepoint folder as an alias for myself. I have so many Documents - x folders that all look the same but are vastly different. Arg!!

            Nifty thing is you absolutely can do that if you’re using SharePoint shortcuts in OneDrive instead of SharePoint library syncing.

            You can’t use both syncing and shortcuts at the same time though. Syncing libraries came first, so it’s typically what is already setup and is kind of a pain to transfer a whole org away from.

          The worst part is that they all where accessable with file explorer before with no issues and someone decided that making us go through teams is better.

      Onedrive is pretty ok, other than being annoying. A company I worked for was acquired by another company that had their own cloud storage product. After the acquisition, they forced us to migrate from onedrive to their product. It was so bad… Files would constantly corrupt and disappear, the speed was terrible, trying to share files didn’t work half the time, when sharing folders the people you shared with wouldn’t see all the files in the folder. They also limited our storage from 1TB to 25GB making it pretty useless for storing builds of our product or trying to share VMs.

      And the worst part is that they also closed our SMB network share to force us to use that piece of shit.

      After that experience, I will never complain about Onedrive again.

      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!

    I don’t mind teams for chatting or meetings but I hate sharepoint and the Teams file “structure” with a passion.

    What’s bad about it? I’m a Linux admin by nature but an admin of all by profession and overall I have no real complaints about Teams. Has always worked just fine for me and to my knowledge everyone else.

      I haven’t used competing apps to know, but as a forced teams user it is very sluggish, seems to break other ms apps half the time and has some strange and persistent design choices that irk me. It also crashes on its own, when I’m not using it 2-3 times a day.

      It has improved in terms of features lately, but still feels very bloated and WIP most of the time. It still won’t let me control where video windows are, and I’ll never understand this.

      This is our replacement for Skype, which was obviously feature deficient and getting old, but does what it’s supposed to do and doesn’t cause problems.

      Not sure if there’s a good competing app in terms of video and slack functionality, integration into outlook and onedrive (both of which also annoy me and seem to be performing worse-over-time, but are unavoidable and sometimes useful.)

      Agreed. It feels a bit janky here and there but otherwise works ok.

      But don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t say I like it.

        It’s missing basic features. The stuff that any normal human would assume it can do it just can’t do. It’s absolutely terrible if you use it in a large organization where you have to speak to multiple different people.

        For one-on-one conversations I guess it’s okay but the moment you try and get anything more complicated than that going on it becomes a nightmare.

      Slow, buggy, annoying interface, hogs extreme amounts of resources locally, can be used to spy on its users.

      What’s not to like? It’s basically how Elon envisions X, an “everything app” that is actually good at nothing specific.

          Same, we had Slack and our company got bought and now we have to use Teams, it’s a downgrade in almost every way EXCEPT power automate. I love power automate, and it can do so much more then Slacks automation EXCEPT for being able to trigger flows based on emojis, being able to post in private channels and ease of setup.

      Just about anything. IRC, XMPP, Discord, whatever you call the chat built into Steam. AIM is discontinued now, but it used to be better than Teams is today.

        Scratching messages onto rocks with other, slightly harder rocks and throwing them at each other is a better form of communicating than using Teams.

    Yes. Typical MS corporate BS. Take “inspiration” from slack and zoom, make it great to steal the market, then make it worse and more expensive every once and a while.

    365 is just shiiiit. Even Google’s stuff (free) is far better and less intrusive/annoying.

    While I have close to zero trust in MSFT and event much dislike a lot of m365, teams isn’t actually that bad and loop is really good.
