That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

What's bad about it? I'm a Linux admin by nature but an admin of all by profession and overall I have no real complaints about Teams. Has always worked just fine for me and to my knowledge everyone else.

Slow, buggy, annoying interface, hogs extreme amounts of resources locally, can be used to spy on its users.

What's not to like? It's basically how Elon envisions X, an "everything app" that is actually good at nothing specific.

Agreed. It feels a bit janky here and there but otherwise works ok.

But don’t get me wrong, I wouldn’t say I like it.

My biggest complaint is that you can't save chat logs.

I work in government, and we do a LOT of stuff on Teams, and I'm just waiting for us to get sued because we can't turn over Teams chat logs in Open Records requests.

Have to use it at work, it is a real nightmare.

You can't set alerts for availability. This is functionality that it used to have, but lost across updates. This is by itself is enough to relegate it to the compost bin.
