I've never understood the hatred for Teams. I don't particularly like Slack, and Teams (from my limited experience using it) doesn't seem that much worse.

Literally every week I encounter new bugs, it gets worse and worse. Many very basic features (like inline code with back ticks) just stopped working months ago and don't work anymore. Scrolling in some channels is completely broken, jumping around wildly. Sometimes messages just don't get sent (both on Android & Web). Sometimes calls work perfectly all day, then the next call just randomly changes audio device settings and I have to find what's wrong again. Sometimes the video stream of a shared screen just doesn't work, or stops working when switching to the small pop-up window while looking at chats, so the other person has to re-share. Sometimes the "available" state is just broken and keeps getting set to "away". The search just doesn't find many things, even when searching with fairly exact parameters.

It's a daily source of frustration & literally gets worse by the week. I can't remember a program that's made me angry as much as Teams has.

inline code with back ticks

Have you noticed that there are now three ways to enter block-formatted, monospace text?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 4 points 3 days ago (1 children)

Yep. "Code Snippets" recently stopped working for me (the overlay doesn't open anymore), so I only have the two remaining ways. I can still do code blocks using three backticks, but inline code I can only do using the keyboard shortcut.

How they managed to fuck things up so badly is beyond me, and how they managed to keep them fucked up for so long is even further beyond.

Still works for me, are you sure?

[–] FooBarrington@lemmy.world 1 points 3 days ago

Yes.

It works for some of my colleagues & doesn't work for some others. You can also find bug reports in Microsofts trackers - they just don't care.
