Today's "Why I fucking hate Teams".
1) It doesn't understand MUTE on a channel I mostly don't want notifications for, so puts alerts and sends me fucking emails for things and it claims to be "muted". I gave up and left the channel.
2) I have two university accounts. When I am logged into a meeting on the 2nd, it shows me as active/present on the 1st. So colleagues at job 1 keep thinking I'm at work when I'm a meeting at Job 2. I have logged it out and hope that works or I'll uninstall the rotten thing off my Windows (better webcam than Work 2's laptop) and try reinstalling from scratch.
3) It is possible but very difficult to turn off the flash-up notifications for a meeting WHERE THE CHAT WINDOW IS ALREADY OPEN! I hate that settings are in 12255792346 different places and I am sure some contradict one another.
4) I told Work 1 Team ALWAYS connect to headphones, so why the fucking fuck does it keep setting it back to speakers about 60% of the time! I have enough trouble with the fucking hearing aid, streamer gizmo (difficult to get both into the matching programme) without Teams adding to it. Makes me look like a techno numpty and I have to keep going in and manually resetting it. IF I SET A DEFAULT - USE IT OR FUCK OFF.
5) Screensharing shows the WHOLE SHARE and tiny faces. As a lipreader I want Zoom's option of half and half! I hate that this is not an option.
6) Today's screenshare had a random blank rectangle about 3x4 cm over the slide so I couldn't see various bits - stupid Teams glitch.
7) In the teams IM chat it doesn't have a way of keeping the different groups/people small down one side and then convs, it is either BIG WIDE NAMES taking up half the space OR NAMES HIDDEN so you're fucking around with clicking and mousing over voodoo.
STOP TELLING ME X AND Y ARE OUT OF OFFICE ON CHATS THEY'RE IN. WE KNOW! WHEN I CLICK CLOSE ON X AND Y ARE OUT OF OFFICE, PLEASE STAY FUCKED OFF. STOP WASTING SCREEN SPACE WITH THAT ANNOYING BLACK BAR.
9) So much wasted white space, which to get the fonts big enough for me to read right now is making my screen management a complete nightmare.
10) When I click join a Teams meeting. I DO NOT NEED you to open a fucking web browser tab OR bring the teams IM thinger to front. I REALLY FUCKING DON'T. Just makes me have to do more mousing to reminimise those things so I can focus on the screen that I NEED to see.
Today's meetings x2 both had people effing off at how shit Teams is.
