    Forza Horizon offered custom horns, one of them was the Teams “someone calling” notification. I would be in a race and use that horn and laugh as another player suddenly goes AFK.

    I do a fair bit of freelance and also access a lot of client networks remotely or using their hardware. I have my own licence for ms365 as well on my own hardware.

    Teams just doesn’t know what the fuck it’s doing. It holds on to old accounts from years ago but doesn’t recall my own, active account. It behaves in the app sometimes but a lot of the time the browser option is the only viable way. It can’t work out that I have a webcam most of the time.

    Almost all meetings I have begin with me being 2-3 minutes late and messaging them that teams is being a fuck. And they all laugh knowingly, because everyone literally expects it.

    It is the buggiest most unpredictable piece of shit that I have to use almost daily, and almost exclusively with government clients who often have their own weird on prem custom version. I hate it with every atom in my body.

    If you only use it to do video (optional) calls with a handful of people and share screens it is passable. I kind of like it for that, just a phone replacement with optional video and screen sharing.

    Anything beyond that though, bleah.

      It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it’s handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.

        I still prefer walking over to their office, calling via VoIP, or sending an email then using teams.

    I swear they intentionally make their app buggy as shit on Linux to punish us for not using Windows.

      I mean, I’m sure you’re right but it’s buggy as shit on Windows too.
