I deal with a lot of applications, versioning, detection, etc.

#Teams was already a dumpster fire but at least it was a tried & true MSI with all that comes with that AND it had understandable versioning.

Now we've got #NewTeams which is like a junkyard tire fire (is it going to be named "new" forever? Who came up with this junk?) and what kind of absolutely asinine version naming is this?

https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/officeupdates/teams-app-versioning

e.g. Released: 2024, June 17 - Version: 24137.2216.2931.2440

I thought okay, first two digits are year (which seems accurate comparing the 2023 & 2024 releases) but beyond that? Zero idea.
E.g. 137? I thought, "Huh, is June 17th the 137th day of the year?" Noooope. That would be May 16th (https://www.saturdaygift.com/days/day-numbers-2024/)

WHAT THE HELL Microsoft.

Can anyone make this absurdly long string of digits make sense? I guess it's just curiosity.

New Teams Desktop Shortcut

Microsoft has stopped deploying the original version of Microsoft Teams (now called Microsoft Teams Classic) with new Microsoft 365 apps installs. I’ve been using New Microsoft Teams for quite a while now and I honestly can’t tell the difference between the two anymore. An issue I do have with New Teams is that it doesn’t…

Here's a scriptable way to mass install New Teams

New Teams Bulk Install Script

New Teams is a UWP (Universal Windows Platform) app and that presents its own challenges when it comes to system-wide mass installs. If you download the MSIX directly and install it, it actually tricks you into thinking it’s installed for all users but in reality, it is only installed for the user that downloaded and…

If only #microsoft took product design seriously. This is a pop up which appeared for me while using #newteams this week (December). Everything they do is so poor. It’s like a word salad created by poor quality AI.

Yikes ... I guess the „agile development strikes back“. Opened a call at #Microsoft regarding the #NewTeams, the answer is astonishing and needs to be shared:
"Currently the new team's is under massive infrastructure development since the classic will be retired soon so it has several bugs being worked that's why you're facing such issues.

I will greatly recommend switching back to the classic team for now until the bugs are fully cleared and classic is retired soonest by early next year.“

Anyone else using the #NewTeams #MSTeams #Teams at their workplace? My employer has added me to the preview of it and I’m fairly impressed so far with it. Just having to get used to Top Down Channel organization. What are your thoughts? #nerdstuff #Mastodon
