This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.

I don’t have a coding background but I’ve used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.

Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.

Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?

I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don’t touch anything else and performance hadn’t been an issue. (Likely because I’ve been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)

    Why is teams terrible?

    1. Why can I see multiple calendars in outlook but only see my calendar in teams? How does that make it useful to schedule team meetings?

    2. Why are updates always available even though I just updated?

    3. Why can I only pin one post in a group chat?

    4. Why does teams always use its own audio settings over the system settings?

    5. Why haven’t they implemented proper push to talk?

    6. Why is it that every few updates one of my meeting members randomly gets muted?

    7. Why does “Meet Now” basically accomplish what a group call does but the notifications don’t really go out?

    8. Why do I need to”Apps” in my teams?

    9. After my call hangs up because the phone app is having issues, how come the other person could still see and hear me?

    10. Why do you assume I want to use onedrive?

    11. Why can’t my favorites also appear in chats in a chronological order?

    12. Why is @everyone even a feature? This isn’t discord.

        Sorry for hijacking this, I have a similar issue. When you say similar to outlook, is there a way to see shared (group?) calendars in teams like in outlook? I feel very stupid for not finding this.

          Yes, I just got the notification like yesterday or so and now I have the same list of calendars on the left side as I have it in Outlook. Maybe it still needs to roll out for you

            That would be amazing timing, this use case came up a few days ago. I’ll check if there is an update, thanks for the info

      1. Why is the agenda of a meeting not visible in the mini-view of the meeting. Why do I need to click into the meeting details to see the agenda (which is often just a SharePoint link for most meetings).

      Heads up, you can see multiple calendars at the same time. The apps thing is interesting because you can embed things like PBI dashboards into a channel, making it easy for everyone to access. It is possible that the configuration at your work is preventing these things. But even when properly configured, everything is just 16 easy clicks away. Ugg.

          It is like a quest I’m on with MS to let them know that poor configuration is the number one impediment to their products. Users can’t tell the difference and assume it is always MS, when it is only them a portion of the time. 😉
