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.
That is weaponized panic.
Hated that horn! Instantly triggered
the slack notification sound is close second
So much corporate misery channeled into a single app
It’s funny, we use it lightly for it’s intended purpose. I work in person on the ground and so do most people in the company. We’re spread wide geographically. I like what teams has done for us. We use it sparingly.
It’s the worst at everything it tries to do
It really wants me to host a webinar. I get a pop-up every day telling me about how great this function supposedly is. You’d think there was a VC generative AI project attached to it with how hard it’s being pushed.
It’s Microsoft, they probably want you to host a webinar so they can use you to train AI to do it
Teams is horrible and i love it. ive managed to do so much less work because teams wont work. People dont even question it if i say oh teams never notified me of that im so sorry! When i was really just taking a nap.
I’m kinda glad I lost my job at the beginning of COVID, we were preparing to move to Teams.
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.
In my daily experience, the voice becomes choppy when a screen is being shared. It’s the worst out of what I’ve used in the past.
Tough competition but OneDrive frequently makes new more sad.
