Not who you’re responding to, but Teams works great in my office. I don’t love the UI, but it’s not buggy at all.
Maybe it’s a Mac thing?
Comment on A bad influence
TrickDacy@lemmy.world 7 months agoWow, no, fuck no. Is there a corporate policy that makes this piece of shit intentionally buggy? For months I’ve had a blank white window on Mac that remains the whole time I use the app. Generally, not one feature of the app works without some kind of glitch or 5. Emojis are fucking broken half the time… Because that’s a complicated totally unsolved problem across the industry /s
What exactly are you using? It’s definitely not teams if you think it’s a passable app. I’ve said it’s alpha software because that’s absolutely what it’s always felt like to me. It’s gotten 10% better in the 3 years I’ve used it. One of the worst apps of all time.

I mean, they support Mac, but yeah the web version is horrible and even windows users in my office hate it.

I guess I’ve just been lucky with it. I only use it on my windows laptops and Android phones, where it’s been pretty flawless.
Though I do work with people in other organizations that have more restrictive permissions applied to Teams from their IT department that make it more difficult to get anything done.

Are you using the video chat? Apparently there are other features, but we don’t use any of them. Only video chat

Interesting take. I’ve been using teams for a few years now since that’s what most of my customers use. I can’t say I’ve experienced any bugs or any of the issues you’re sharing.
Only thing I can think of it’s related to Mac and their version of teams. The app for windows seems to work flawlessly.

Now I wonder why the mac version would be a subpar product…

I use it on Windows and I’ve encountered a few bugs, though haven’t experienced many of the stories seen in here. I’ve experienced notifications not coming through which is kinda essential for me tbh, have had the app crash every now and then, and regularly have a thing occur where I would put an emoji on anything and it would go away a second after causing me to do it again. The notifications not coming through is a big deal for me, the rest I can live with just fine.

We are a mostly mac shop, but I don’t see that as an excuse actually. Also, we have windows users in our company and also I’ve used the web version and it’s atrocious too. Everyone at my company that ever mentions a Teams opinion hates it…
