> Bit disappointed at the level of discussion here, 90% of the comments are generic bitching about Teams. Because MS really needs to get their priorities straight. What good are AI meeting notes if the absolute basics of a VC/Chat software don't work properly? Just from the past few days, I've had - Chat messages turning up hours later, or are not shown as new and I see them later by accident - Images in chats are not loading - In VC, I can't see people who have joined the meeting after me - Status is stuck on "away" although I'm working with Teams - Having to set up my audio/video setting for each new meeting again Maybe fix these things first before working on AI meeting notes? But the fact is: many companies only use Teams because they have an Office365 subscription anyway and don't want to spend $$$ on an actually good VC/Chat solution. So yes, sorry, but it's really, really hard to get excited about AI meeting notes in Teams. > It's quite exciting that we're getting some proper applications of the technology that make sense. The technology already makes sense, in the form of ChatGPT. I use it every day.

> an actually good VC/Chat solution For actually good, collaboration isn't limited to video chat. In particular, live collaboration on content is key. In an office, for office workers, turns out that's mostly Word, Excel ... Devs don't realize this, because Git. But in office land, that was not really a solved problem. Places have nasty "Drive G" NAS solutions, with nasty permissioning management (or office gives up and gives everyone permission to everything). Teams "Files" tab converges that, as does the Share icon, to where you're not "presenting your screen" to collaborate on the content, you can actually launch everyone's native PowerPoint or Word or Excel, see everyone's icon and cursor, and genuinely collaborate in real time on the content. Permissions are managed by Team and Channel, which make sense to everyone. Behind the scenes, all content access and permissions changes are fully audited, so the experience is fully compliant. These things make it "actually good" for role based access to regulated compliant collaboration.

100% -- The expressions "polishing a turd" or "putting lipstick on a pig" come to mind.
