Our company uses teams more or less as a glorified chat app and it does a good job at it.
Teams is also the default way we call each other (phone number syncing is hot garbage and everyone has unlimited data on their work phones), and video conferencing via teams is acceptable. It helps that we have a No Camera culture, so we don’t often deal with buggy video processing problems.
Anything important is to be put in an email chain, and anything more permanent in the wiki system.
Seriously though, hearing the travails of Slack culture causing headaches and time wasting + degrading documentation standards, I think a glorified chat app is not so bad.
- dijit 5y agoHave you professionally used anything other than microsoft products for internal communication?
- quartesixte 5y agoTo be honest, I have not. Every company I have worked for or had extensive relations with were an Outlook oriented company.
- dijit 5y agoNo judgement at all. I often find the people that actually enjoy teams have never really used anything other than Microsoft messaging solutions professionally. I usually speculate that it’s because people have never seen anything better than what Microsoft can put out, but there’s the possibility that the way you think about things when that’s your entire ecosystem is different than the way I do. What I’m saying is: I’m not saying that you’re wrong for liking it, I’m saying that we can be different; and the bigger annoyance is that these closed platforms do not permit client choice. Maybe.
