Rant warning!

I mean I just quit a office call, the share screen ribbon wouldn’t disappear, opened task manager to kill it nope not found, finally had to select a “quit teams” option from start window. Note this is still windows 10.

Further the entire teams app is sloppy, when I start listing, the enter works but within the same message (when unintended) I have to ensure I click shift+enter to enter a new line. I can’t choose between enter and shift+enter.

A few questions now:

  • why/how do these guys design a product this way
  • Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?

    Oh please…All Collaboration tools have the same number of issues, just different ones.

      Have you actually tried Teams? It stands above all the rest for number of issues. There are a lot of good ideas, but then it’s like they had a bunch of interns hack together the ui over a weekend and never fixed it

        Yes…

        I have used it daily for at least six years.

        Overlayed on that is I have used WebEx for about 15 years, hell maybe 20 years.

        I agree that it has UI has issues, so does Webex, so does Zoom… hell Skype had its issues as well.

        There is a lot about teams I don’t like, but that is every collaboration tool I have ever used.

        Truth be had the only collaboration tool I have ever been satiated with is the tool my university used back in 2000, but that probably had more to do with not having to drive to class.

      Have you ever used Zoom and then be forced to switch to Teams?

      It’s like enjoying a warm baguette and then being forced to give it up and eat stale Sara Lee.

        I have been forced to switch to different collaboration tools and platforms a number of times and it always just sucks…

        For me that pain began back when I was forced to stop using AIM ( America Online Instant Messenger).
