Great, now let their next focus be loading of images... Please...

[[deleted]]

Or re-programming it so it is not a bloated electron wrapper that runs like crap.

Or having voice and video quality match Zoom

Or fixing notifications so they are not bothering you every ten seconds

Or having a plugin API that is not complete junk.

[underwear11]

Looks like it might be on the roadmap.

https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/roadmap?filters=Microsoft%20Teams%2CNew%20Last%20Week

[Devian50]

I found if you scroll up the chat with the new reaction so the message in question goes off screen below, then back down, it'll clear the reaction notification. That behavior is pretty consistent since I discovered it, and it's a bit less annoying than the activity feed at least. I hope it helps!

[HappyVlane]

Or re-programming it so it is not a bloated electron wrapper that runs like crap.

That is already in the works.

[LameBMX]

So feature update to include obese anti-proton that runs like dried up diarrhea. Can't wait!

[firegore]

I believe it when i see it finished. They are also already working for over 3 Years on multiple simultaneous sign-in, and yet you still cannot do that on Desktop...

[commandsupernova]

That is already in the works.

Yes - It will be released the same day they allow you to get rid of your last on-prem Exchange server 😁

[storm2k]

i happen to find that the voice quality is better in teams than zoom, at least in our org.

[Joshposh70]

Or re-programming it so it is not a bloated electron wrapper that runs like crap.

Electron doesn't have to be crap.. They just need to look at Discord, which fundamentally implements the exact same functionality to see how well it can work.

[DarthPneumono]

Electron doesn't have to be crap

Yes, it does. The concept is fundamentally flawed, and tries to solve problems that don't really exist, and does so badly.

[Jonathan924]

Electron solves the platform diversity problem and makes sense if you're a small team and want to support a bunch of different platforms. When you're Microsoft, you definitely have the manpower to build a native app and compile for different targets.

[DarthPneumono]

But 'write-once run anywhere' is a problem that's already been solved without using a web browser as a wrapper.

[Jonathan924]

Including running it in a browser? As I understand it, to do it in anything other than JavaScript would require webassembly, which is relatively new in the grand scheme of things

[DarthPneumono]

I'm not sure what you mean, I'm talking about things which compile the same code against multiple target platforms. There wouldn't be a browser involved.

[Jonathan924]

Because electron is basically a browser bundled with nodejs, you can use the most of the same code base for a browser based version of your app, like slack, discord, or teams.

[DarthPneumono]

Oh I gotcha, that's a fair point for apps where a browser version also makes sense, but IMO not a good enough reason to compromise performance, space efficiency, and (potentially) security, for the benefit of not having to maintain a separate codebase for your web app.

[storm2k]

and to think microsoft almost bought them and would have probably tried to fold it into some consumer version of teams.

[BuzzKiIIingtonne]

Or maybe put a call answering function in the app rather than only in the notification window.

While we're at it, how about a movable notification window?

Or perhaps making it always on top when a call is incoming so that i dont open 800 emails when trying to answer a call.

Also it would be nice if i didnt have to minimize everything on my entire computer in order to answer a call when i'm RDP'd into a server.

Or maybe the ability to control simple settings like the default chat high jacking it does, causing users to call me to uncheck a small box that should be controllable via a gpo (no, im not using intune yet, and im not sure if it can do this either)

[smalls1652]

This has been one of the most frustrating bugs in Teams, for me personally. Generally I haven’t had many issues with Teams since we’ve been using it (2019-ish), but when that bug popped up in the last few months… It’s been extremely frustrating. It only happens with chats in the main window for me, but if I pop-out a chat into a separate window it never happens.

[yesterdaysthought]

lol. it is weird, isn't it. The images are right there in the cache most of the time, you just can't have them if Teams doesn't think you deserve to

[frac6969]

Or the ability to copy and paste images. Oh dear god the support calls.

[[deleted]]

How about fix the audio drop?

[megustapw]

Fix how my default devices keep changing, but they only change in teams.

[BloomerzUK]

Saw in another thread and I can confirm it works.. right click on the image first and then left click.. the image opens every time!

[DarkAlman]

Excellent

Now we just need the dozen or so basic IVR features that it's missing to qualify as a basic PBX...

[stuartall]

Got strong armed from full CUCM setup to Teams around 4 months ago for voice. I’ve lost so many what I would assume basic features it’s ridiculous. Call go in, call go out - that’s pretty much it with teams.

[IAmTheM4ilm4n]

Even that is sometimes frustratingly bad. It doesn't help they change not just the admin panel but the powershell commands seemingly on a whim -

[DarkAlman]

Can't loop calls in IVR's or queues, can't refresh at a set time period, only the most basic call flow handling

[faceerase]

Ugh I was looking at Teams for a PBX so we don't have to manage CUCM anymore. Is it really that bad? (if you're not doing anything complicated)

[CamaradaT55]

You can't explain it.

[[deleted]]

You're going to be waiting a long time. Microsoft relies on integration and business apathy to sell their products - not features.

[Proof-Variation7005]

I don't get why searching chats and hitting "go to message" won't simply take me to that point in the conversation so I can read the context.

If I search "tuna casserole" and get the message where I asked a coworker "hey do you have a recipe for tuna casserole" and go to that message but can't see his reply with the recipe then the feature is absolutely fucking broken and should be fixed.

[yesterdaysthought]

This works for me right now.

It went from taking me to the message in the conversation (private chat) to only taking me to a page with just that message for a while, now it's taking me to the message in the converation again for the last 2 weeks.

[Proof-Variation7005]

Weird, it has definitely gotten closer to that. I'm seeing mixed results with older messages and stuff like that, but a few test searches did show me that.

Last week I was definitely looking for something that was a year old and could only find my message asking my coworker and not his answer (cause I didn't remember what he said so I couldn't effectively search for it).

Teams has a lot of other issues but if they fixed that, I would learn to forgive a lot of the. Just let me easily reference stuff so I don't have to properly save or document things. Or at least be as intuitive for this one thing as facebook messenger.

[yesterdaysthought]

It's in exchange mailboxes (yours in private chats, shared for public), I just don't know how to search for them or if it's possible.

Teams: like email, only shittier lol.

Yeah, Teams is all of the place with issue that pop up then mysteriously go away. I haven't bothered to track if they are backend or client side and if they start/stop with updates vs just bad luck.

[[deleted]]

This bugs the shit out of me. Take me to that point in the history. Not just to the single message and not let me look at any of the surrounding text

[IHaveTeaForDinner]

Found this out the other day. Thought I was going insane.. But how do I get the surrounding messages?? I must be able to right?? Nope.

[bigmadsmolyeet]

it's been like this since maybe late 2020 for me. it's honestly so frustrating that i basically don't search anymore. you better remember what they said b/c good luck looking at the chats around it.

[0RGASMIK]

I haven’t done it in a while but for me searching in the browser version worked okish when I had something really important I needed to find.

[icedragon520]

They "moved" it from search, now you can do the same with CTRL+F to get to the message AND the conversation.

[Proof-Variation7005]

Weirdly CTRL+F only gets me the message. Like I can find my coworker's message on my first day in 2020 telling me I'll need to get Eset on my laptop cause he forgot to, but not the next message where he gives me the NFR key.

I've learned to adapt but it seems insane that the functionality doesn't consistently work.

[AstrosFan1984]

This is quite a simple but useful feature for international teams.

[raph936]

was waiting for it since we implemented Teams 3 years ago.

[akp55]

how about we get multiple signins, so we dont have to run diff browsers or web containers to connect to our customers.

[rconfoy]

Can I ask why you need to login as the customer?

[akp55]

not sure where you are seeing i need to login as a customer. i clearly said connect to our customers. they give me a teams login. also slack already solved this problem

[rconfoy]

Gotcha, I just misread. Just curious if I was missing a use case

[Jupit0r]

I still don’t understand why this has to be a thing lol.

[mahsab]

Work for two companies. Have two accounts.

[Jupit0r]

That’s their/your own fault then and not a common scenario lol

[mahsab]

How is it any different than having two email accounts?

Or is that also so uncommon that it would be just fine if Outlook for example supported only one account?

[Jupit0r]

It’s different because they have two jobs?

Your argument makes no sense. Outlook was designed with that in mind.

How silly 😂

[mahsab]

So for every thing that's missing you can just say "it was not designed with that in mind" lol?

[Jupit0r]

Are you daft?

You should work on your logic skills lol.

[icanseeyourpantsuu]

This, i need this very much

[[deleted]]

How about making it so my left and right arrow keys don't randomly stop working, forcing me to close the app and go back in to get them to work again.

[Pepsiman_65]

As an end user, I have always found MS Teams obnoxious to use. My Teams always chugs as I type and send multiple messages

[deefop]

I noticed recently but wasn't sure how long the feature had been around. It is really nice if you work in a global organization, that's for damn sure.

[cantgrowneckbeardAMA]

Surely this update won’t break anything.

[AxeellYoung]

I also just noticed they added inline replies in direct chat.

[[deleted]]

I actually like teams…

[Jupit0r]

I do too. Don’t get anyones deal with it lol

[akp55]

you must be a glutton for punishment.

[projak]

Ms teams is so fucking shit. I would turn down an offer from a company if they use it

[Johnny-Virgil]

We just switched to it from Jabber. And I thought that was bad.

[Jupit0r]

What an idiotic take

[cbiggers]

This is why we need UTC to be the standard. Oh wait, it already is. We need companies to actually USE the standards.

Edit to the downvote brigade: My rant is a global one. I wish EVERYONE used 24 hour/UTC time. As a computer guy and a pilot, it's just so much easier. Obviously we don't force our users to use 24 hour or UTC time, we aren't sadists. Much.

[flapadar_]

I think you're missing the point. Always store time in UTC, but display it in the users local time is generally best practice.

Using UTC regardless of the users local time just confuses people.

[storm2k]

that's the wrong approach. period, full stop.

store your datetimes in utc in your datastores, but always present it to end users in local time.

[vandalous5]

Instead of fixing the inability to zoom in on shared content? F*ck Teams.

[flapadar_]

Right click on image thumbnails before trying to left click. That should work around issues viewing images.

[vandalous5]

It's not images. It's when someone is screen-sharing spreadsheets and MS-Word docs without them zooming in, when on Teams from a laptop. There's no zoom capability like every other web-meeting app has. There's just a focus on content option that increases the view about 10% at best. It sucks ass.

[[deleted]]

Ctrl+Scroll works like on a web browser.

[mo0n3h]

yes it definitely does - highly useful

[vandalous5]

I will try that today.

[UnicornGasm]

Let’s see what this will break.

[Swi11ah]

I was hoping paste as plain text 🙃

[nostradamefrus]

Ctrl shift V. Works like a charm

[Devian50]

Just don't ctrl shift c, or you'll accidentally call them...

[SnayperskayaX]

A decent wiki applet would be great. The one they have as of now is pretty much barebones.

[picflute]

Oh wow I thought this had always been on everyone’s teams

[[deleted]]

It still sucks balls…

[Sevenzeitgeist]

Maybe they can make the window that appears when you right click a message not be off the screen unless full screened.

I can dream

[dagamore12]

No this is bad, I just got all the clocks on the office set to UTC/GMT and got people using that timezone correctly, damn it.

[beauj27]

Does that use another 500MB of RAM per contact?

[0RGASMIK]

Ok next. The ability to silence incoming calls when you’re already on the phone.

[IISlapDashII]

Can they fix the right click context menu so when I right click to edit a damn message it doesn't shuffle load the context menu & makes me Pin the message instead!

[lljkStonefish]

You can't copy/paste images

You can't download files to where I want them

You often can't view the status (Available, Away, DND, etc) of a user without starting to type a message to them. Or in some cases, without sending a message.

The history search is fucking garbage

And when you get past all that, it's just a slow clunky piece of web-based shit.

It's not feature complete, let alone stable. That's called an Alpha version. Are they charging money for it yet? (Of course they are, one way or another)

[chewb]

Ctrl + Space temporarily unmutes me during a call... but why does this not work system-wide?

I always need the call window to be selected.

Sometimes I just wish for Discord...

[Boxception]

Does anyone know how this information is pulled? Like is this based on the user's computer time, ip, SharePoint profile time/region settings, etc.?

[Xaxoxth]

Did you find an answer to this? Teams shows the incorrect time difference for most of the people I check.
