Being the Linux geek, I use MS Teams. I even use it with its Linux client, and works astonishingly well.
My only 2 grievances with it are:
1. Teams steals focus to make the next message on a group, rather than in the threat ALL THE TIME. Ive been there for a dozen comments because Teams stole cursor focus.
2. Its easy to make an invite to a one-shot room, rather than use an existing room. Doing so loses all history and provenance and discussion. And there's no "merge this room with the real place" when that happens.
But all in all, Ive been on 130+ person calls with no issue. Works very well, aside those issues above.
- fartcannon 7y agoYikes. The only place MS has in any of this is on the list of privacy invaders and products to avoid.
- kiwijamo 7y agoTeams has video conferencing? Wow never knew this and I use Teams often for $WORKPLACE. I find it a bloated mess with little things that don't work very well e.g. opening Word documents opens in a weird HTML editor which stuffs up the formatting of delicate documents. It's so bad I never share things via Teams and just email instead. So not sure if I'd want to try its video conferencing function if it can't get other basic stuff right?
- btilly 7y agoI have to use MS Teams and hate it. The fact that I lived with the bug described in https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22741348 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=22741348 for a long time with no idea how to fix it didn't help.
