Didn’t they update Teams to a whole new platform recently and it turned out to just be a webpage rendered by edge?
Teams was electron app from the beginning, so basically a web page rendered in chromium
I mean that’s not really any different from slack
Yes it is. Slack works.
Fair. Teams suck.
Oh yea. It’s been out years now and still feels like alpha software imo. It wouldn’t even be understandable if it was built as FOSS by 3 dudes.
The problem is that they combined three different pieces of software into one cheaply.
So it’s big, clunky and doesn’t often work.
Apparently they are trying to fix it, but we will see
No wonder I got so much work done yesterday…
“We’re investigating an issue in which users may be unable to access Microsoft Teams or features within North America, Canada, and Brazil,” Microsoft said via the company’s official Microsoft 365 status account on X (formerly Twitter).
A Lovecraftian horror, that sentence.
Imagine showing the headline to someone 10 years ago
How the mighty have fallen
Typical Microsoft. For awhile Teams was working. Maybe it wasn’t anyone’s idea of superstar software but it worked well enough, and integration with O365 made it tolerable. Then they decide to push their updated app to everyone and now it sucks donkey balls.
I lost spell check in the new version! Others still have it, so I’m not sure what happened. I even toggled spell check off and on in the settings.
The design behind the actual Teams portion is so backwards. Take private chat conversation flow, put that into Team channels, make threads the exception not the norm.
Great news!
This was yesterday tho. Dangit
A coworker of mine is experiencing issues in Germany as well (error messages that I’ve never seen). Wonder if they’re related to this.
We use Teams at work and we are very happy with it. Maybe it’s because I haven’t used other meeting software besides Facetime so I don’t understand why everyone hates it at Lemmy.
It’s a pain to switch between accounts. It eats up a ton of CPU if I use it through my browser (unless I use it in Firefox). If I use it in Firefox I can’t get video/voice calls or join up on meetings.
On a mobile device (iOS): It randomly logs me out (more like it will timeout if I haven’t opened the app recently). Notifications aren’t reliable. If I join a meeting with some other group as a “guest”, I can go back to view my active chat, but then I can only hear audio from the meeting and can’t get back to see what’s happening in the meeting unless I leave the room and come back.
There’s more, but this is just off the top of my head.
Keep going hackers. Do whatever it takes to take that shitty application offline for good. My division is toying with the idea of removing Slack and replacing it with MS Teams, and I dread the day the idiots making the decisions go through with it. Because of course they will.
No. Not M$ Teams was hit. All the users were hit.
