It’s horrifyingly bloated but my main complaint is that you can’t put a normal-ass chat in a “Team”. Instead Teams themselves are stuck with this super-weird forum-in-a-chat-UI paradigm that makes them nearly useless except for announcement-type interactions, and not even very good for that. This pushes things into ad-hoc or meeting-connected chats, which encourages siloing. This makes it absolute poison for remote work.
I think the rest of it’s probably a lot worse if your org isn’t all-in on a ton of other Microsoft stuff, but mine is. Also I ignore lots of it (it’s easy to lose shit in it anyway so I don’t really trust it, but I find that’s true of lots of “productivity” programs—including most project management systems) so maybe all the parts I don’t use are terrible.
- culopatin 3y agoI hate everything about how chats are organized in teams. From the chat announcements from meetings I didn’t join. Meeting chats mixed with my individual chats. Channel chats where you’re often accidentally starting a new thread. Why meeting chat in chat window but not channel threads?
- zamadatix 3y agoIf you want one less annoyance in your list open the Teams settings -> Notifications and activity -> Meeting chat notifications and change it to "Mute until I join or send a message".
