Just in case people have forgotten:

TEAMS IS ABSOLUTE GARBAGE

Thank you for your attention in this matter.

@paul the Teams jingle gives me PTSD.

@paul Sometimes I step on a lego but then I think "at least I'm not using Teams right now."

@Gina I suppose that's one good thing - I can't even log in to a point where the jingle would sound, so that's good.

@paul @Gina Mine just randomly hard fails, and then pretends to be open, for me everything looks normal until I click inside the program, to everyone else I look like I'm offline :p

@sotolf @paul Ha same here, love hearing "did you have fun playing outside?" from coworkers the next day.

@Gina @sotolf Well I am about to go and walk the dog instead sooo... 🐶

@paul @Gina I hope that you're not having the same heat as hear, I almost fainted on the 10 min walk to the grocery store :/

@sotolf @Gina We've got about 20°C - not too bad, but black furred doggo doesn't like the sun too much. A walk in the woods methinks.

@paul @Gina Then it's at least liveable, we have 30+ degrees here and it's not good :/

@sotolf @Gina I only use the web app, just for some reason started failing since friday

Sad fact is the failures happened on the same day I had other meeting via alternative systems - Google, Zoom, Jitsi (I ran that one) - all of them worked without a hitch.
So Microsoft, don't go telling me it's a problem my side.

@paul @Gina If it's a user failure I'm somehow extremely bad at using Teams while my whole work is fixing other programs that don't work :p
Show threadPaul Wilde    Jun 23, 2025

@sotolf @Gina OH yeah, I know that feeling

Yes I can reconfigure an entire business network and re-provision replacement services in a matter of moments, but clicking a few magic buttons to join a meeting is just too much for me.

@paul @Gina @sotolf

I actually do find that to be the case sometimes, because I’m overthinking the options and assume it can’t be so simple - forgetting the interface was designed with office admin staff and salespeople as the audience, not technical people.

@alatartheblue @Gina @sotolf yep, totally. Sums up most of the Microsoft workflow I think

Although, they often don't even make it work well for the average office admin either 😆

@paul @sotolf @Gina

Oh, I never claimed it worked. Just that I break it in ways they don’t imagine. Heh.
