    Who could have ever guessed that naming different software the same thing would ever come back to bite them

      I mean how about just not installing 5 different versions and just keeping the Theams new, its so fucking annoying in all regards.

        Because they knew the new teams is a buggy piece of shit and people would need an alternative

      Microsoft does this painfully often

        And they are doing it again. CoPilot for Windows, CoPilot for Github, CoPilot for sales, CoPilot for Microsoft 365, Bing CoPilot. All different products with different properties.

    It’s been driving me mad on my work laptop,

    I cant uninstall the old version and every time i open it it tries to push me to the new version

    source
    • NoLifeKing@ani.social ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      For me i open the new and it asks me to go back to the old version…

      Just open the fucking thing shitdos!

        I had this as well, it’s because the pinned version will still be pointing to the old version even after you agreed to upgrade.

        You have to unpin the old version, and pin the new version.

        Reallllly stupid upgrade from them.

      Better yet - mine keeps trying to push me to the new version, but the (new) version is blocked in my org.

      So every time it tries to open, I get a “teams (new) is blocked in your organization.” And I have to fight it to go back to the old version.

      I just pinned the new version to the taskbar so I don’t have to mess around with the old version diversion

    • ainz@lemmy.dbzer0.com ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      My admin hasn’t enabled the new version so I just have the old version, if I accidentally click on the new one the entire pc slogs for 5 mins before asking me to use the older version.

    For every new release they hire the best UX designers and developers in order to find ways of make your experience worse.

      I wish I’d thought of Halo, rather than soda. Your version is much better.

    Microsoft should save everyone some headache and delete Teams. These stupid fucks keep giving me an alert saying to export all my saved messages to a csv file because this cunt of a company decided to not carry forward that feature in newer apps.

    ELI5 the difference between the white badged Teams and the dark badged Teams

    source
    • piracysails@lemm.ee ⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago

      I believe the white one is for personal use.

      The (new) dark is the newest teams for organizations.

      The (classic) dark is the old teams for organizations.

        Not sure if it’s host my device, but I can’t drag & drop files into the new Trans for organizations, so I’m still using classic for organizations.

        It’s ridiculous, and now I need to click through saying “no” to the new version every time I start it.

    especially annoying when your school keeps switching between the two.
    I joined a meeting on New Teams once, but by the end of it i got a popup saying that access to new teams has been blocked and you need to switch to classic teams.
    the next day, we were forced to migrate to new teams again.
    a week ago, access to new teams got blocked again, and i had to redownload teams (classic)
