As someone who does all his work through teams I must say it's only strong point is integration with OneDrive and sharepoint. Other than that the application is a nightmare. On Windows its the slowest thing I'm running at any point, I understand its an electron app but there are no excuses for its performance. On android it keeps missing notifications. After a while the concept of teams in teams is being overlooked in favor of less formal chats which yet don't have all the features of teams. Now teams have channels which make zero sense if everyone from the team can also see them and there is no way to fix that.
Sharing code requires 4 clicks and there is no keyboard equivalent way to get to it.
And the list goes on.
The sad truth is that if teams didn't come for free with office 365 it wouldn't be able to stand on its own.
- maxerickson 7y agoChat and channels and so forth are a big mess in Teams, but multiple channels in a Team do make sense, as topics.
- bane 7y agoWe usually start a channel for each program, and each project gets a channel as needed. It works really well as an organizational scheme.
- baq 7y agosharing code - do you mean ``` ? otherwise i kinda agree except it's years ahead of lync, so for microsoft shops it's still a net win. my personal pet peeve is lack of a global mute keyboard shortcut (win+f4 for lync).
- kyriakos 7y agoThanks didn't know the shortcut. Only issue doesn't let you choose the language for syntax highlighting.
- shrikant 7y ago> Now teams have channels which make zero sense if everyone from the team can also see them and there is no way to fix that. You can create private channels within teams. When you go to "Add Channels", there's a Privacy option that's set to Standard by default, but you can toggle it to Private and invite only specific team members to join.
