Rant warning!

I mean I just quit a office call, the share screen ribbon wouldn’t disappear, opened task manager to kill it nope not found, finally had to select a “quit teams” option from start window. Note this is still windows 10.

Further the entire teams app is sloppy, when I start listing, the enter works but within the same message (when unintended) I have to ensure I click shift+enter to enter a new line. I can’t choose between enter and shift+enter.

A few questions now:

  • why/how do these guys design a product this way
  • Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?

    I have to use Teams for work but I’m on Linux so I just use the web app in Firefox. Other then minor, irritating UI decisions (WTF is the ‘Activity’ tab for?) I don’t have any issues. Video calls work fine, screen sharing works, notifications work. When something breaks I just reload the page. If people have so many issues maybe try using the web app?

      Thanks and this is very interesting, I am lucky that I have Firefox browser (a very few in my org have the same, I installed ublock origin and ever since IT disabled installation of plugins). Let me test teams on Firefox (hoping it let’s me login), fingers crossed.
