At this point Teams is clearly junkware. My calendar isn’t even capable of showing the right dates. So basically all my Monday events show up on Tuesday, Tuesday events on Wednesday, etc… I’m struggling to understand how that bug’s even possible but that’s Teams for you. It finds new and unbelievable ways to be terrible.

I never had those calendar problems. Teams got better. Is it as good as the other players who've been at this for longer? Probably not, but Teams works well enough for chat and I get why companies decide to get rid of other chat apps if it comes for free in Office 365. Shifty tactic for sure by MS. What other things make Teams junkware? I personally would choose an app that's based on the Matrix standard: https://element.io/matrix-benefits https://element.io/matrix-benefits

  It's also piss poor at handling dodgy internet connections in the chat. And calls lag a couple years behind discord in feature set. How is it possible that the only sharing option is a singular stream which you can't full screen and which runs at a frame per second in 2024.

  I would take MSN Messenger 7.5 over teams. I think most of the problems with it are related to it being pretty much a web app that runs on the desktop. If they had a nice native app that didn’t take 50% cpu to move from chats window to calendar and then made me wait for the calendar to refresh every time, the whole experience would be much nicer. It tries to do too much and does them all half assed. Channels and chats being separate when both have chats is just odd to me. An option to display channel chats in the main chat window would be nice so I don’t have to manually go dig into every channel I’m a part of to see what is being said. I’m sure they have enough brains at MS to come up with a neat way of displaying that.

    Good point about the channels and chat concepts. That's really poorly handled by Teams. Nobody uses it in my team, even though we have set up some channels. It's too hidden and takes several clicks to get into. But my comment was really from the perspective of the buyer. If you're responsible for IT for a fortune 500 company, going with Teams is an easy way to save money on paper, even if it does inconvenience some of your users who live and die by Slack. EDIT: typos

      Yeah, it’s there, it’s secureable, already installed, and connects to Sharepoint, which I also hate but people love to use.

  A couple of things are better, but Teams is still a straight up PoS that few would use if their employer didn't force them to.

I had the same issue. Switch the view from overall week to just work-week.

  I wonder if this is a localization bug. Some part of the code is assuming that for full-week view Monday is the second day of the week. But another part of the code is respecting locale settings and starting the week on Monday.
