You and me are out there enjoying it (unless you are being sarcastic, then it’s just me out there in ignorant bliss).
I still don’t get why people are so opposed (it’s cheaper than the collection of apps required to do the same thing). The best reason I heard was it doesn’t work well on Linux, which I’m like duh - they don’t care about that demographic, like, at all. My best thinking is that maybe folks aren’t using all the features. I mean, one of them is a voiced Copilot summary of a meeting done by a man and woman, like they are talking about the meeting at the water-cooler. Truly terrible and amazing all at once.
I use MS teams on Linux all day long for work through web browser (I think it’s a PWA app?) and have no issues at all. I’m not saying I love MS teams but I am not running into any bugs with it. My only complaint is they used to have a ‘native’ Linux app that ran using something called electron that would allow for notifications in my desktop environment, whereas now in the browser I don’t get those, but that didn’t really end up being a problem.
Wait, you are running it in a browser? That would give a terrible experience and limited features (you probably miss out on that sweet voiced meeting recap). I can understand why you/anyone wouldn’t like that.
Check it out, teams.microsoft.com, I don’t feel like I’m missing out on anything for my day to day work duties? I can lead meetings, screen share, use Copilot, calendar…all the “Teams” stuff like the tabs for onenote or planner or other apps (they’re all web based too). I guess I don’t feel like I’m missing out on any capability?
TBH I’d rather read a transcription than listen to two voices paraphrasing a meeting anyway.
I think my favourite is when you go through the files in a team then click “Copy link”. It thinks, thinks, thinks, then when it’s done it has a big green tick but doesn’t actually copy the link until you click a second copy link button.
But I do quite like how when you find the file you want and switch to a chat then it loses your place. And as far as I can tell, there’s no way to bookmark a folder, which is great.
Long story short I love how it tries to do everything instead of being good at one thing!
But I do like MS teams
Stockholm syndrome.
It’s so calming when it just decides to not get any new message for a day and starts removing meetings from your schedule…
Are you kidding? I would pay extra for these features.
It’s bundled with the rest of Office, so you may not even need to pay anything!

I love loops for day to day project management
There is so much to like!
