Doesn’t matter, we need to get rid of all these platforms. Pinging large groups of people shouldn’t be this easy. Maybe get rid of internal email as well.
Want to contact somebody? write a note and have it delivered. I’d bet it’d be more efficient, when you need to limit your messages.
Just imagine how much calmer your day would be, if you wouldn’t have to deal with “who ate my lunch?” or “there’s a car with the headlights on at a carpark on the other side of campus” with the same urgency as actual directed communication.
I had to do online lessons during pandemic using Teams. And I forgot to document attendance of the students, and searching through chat was tedious. That’s when I figured that Teams API is also shit af, that instead of attendees returns list of people who were invited to call.
That sucked so hard. Taught highschool age kids. We ended up doing attendance manually. As in: join the day’s meeting, turn on your camera and show me that you’re out of bed, clothed, and ready to learn.
Somehow, we’ve entered a universe where every single chat client sucks flabby, unwashed ass. I can’t think of a single one that works as well as AIM and pidgin did back in 2001, and that’s absolutely pathetic.
God how I miss interoperability. I went to college right as all the disparate chat systems started coalescing into everyone just using Facebook, and it was super useful being able to chat across all the platforms (including FB) from one program
I have my mic right beside my mechanical keyboard. Nobody hears a thing if I type during a meeting in Zoom and Slack. In Teams, if I type as light and quietly as possible, people complain immediately. That is my experience with Teams.
Unpopular opinion: slack is worse than teams.

Ew. That is certainly unpopular. Teams can’t even do read/unread notifications

I think there’s no reliable way to discover all people that participated in a Teams meeting.
Looking manually, it will leave people out too.

You do know you can mute your mic, right? Unless you type and talk simultaneously
