![]() Maybe you are very young and your time is worthless, but most people want products that just work, with a non confusing interface. > Most people don’t actually care about or even notice that confusion.ġ) Old people get very confused even when the interface changes.Ģ) The changes are irritating even if you know Google productsģ) Change for the sake of change (someone at Google wants to get promoted) is just a waste of time, especially as the products are half baked. Meeting UI people: here is a list of questions that I find myself constantly asking myself: who is talking? Who just finished talking? Who is in this meeting? Who just joined? Who just left? If you waste an entire screen on nearly information-free user tiles and make me open a separate window to answer these types of questions (or they are impossible to answer), I hate you. I don’t know why you can’t just show me actual names. I don’t know my coworkers by their initials, Microsoft. Teams will remain a complete joke to me as long as I am forced to play the “try to map initials to names” game in order to figure out who is talking. So it’s the best of an absolute shitpile. But it’s also not quite as bad as teams, and everyone has learned to cope with it. So there’s like a 5% mental cpu task that’s just constantly pushing things around due to this vague feeling that obviously I will find the better arrangement. I very frequently find myself pushing things around in vain because I am only dedicating a portion of my brain to the task and I can never quite believe that it’s impossible to lay things out in a way that is actually usable. I know who's in the meeting, so if they're sharing their screen, I want to see that instead of their names taking up half the screen. And it insists on showing a bunch of useless crap around the main image. If it's unfocused, it will not connect to the audio, so I'm left waiting around wondering why people are always late. It also needs me to have the window focused if I connect too early to a meeting and am the first one there. If I refresh the page enough times, it will end up working. It also transforms my PC in a jet airplane.Ĭhime sometimes works, sometimes doesn't. Google meet sometimes squeezes my webcam image for some reason. Zoom has a weird windowing system, stealing focus all the time, and shows notifications as actual windows (as opposed to using the notification system). But whenever I have to attend meetings using other systems, the experience is pretty much never great either. We use Teams at work, and I think it's an absolute pile of crap. Inconsistent loading of tabs when you join a meeting, so some people cant do Q/A or look at files (but can be loaded in a separate window even whilst the meeting is running.īigger issues like high CPU usage (massively compared to Zoom) with lots of attendees and far more limited visible attendee screens (compared to Zoom).Īt the moment obvious defects seem to be added faster than they are removed.Īre there any other options that actually work well? At least Teams is "free", as in people already using Office365 don't have to pay anything. Inserts non visible spaces into code you paste in and does not strip it properly when copying and pasting out.Įmoji selection popup fails to load if you join a meeting with busy chat as loading new messages takes priority. Hap-hazard method of starting meeting recordings (anyone can do it and with the latest update they become the owner instead of the meeting organiser).Įxternal guests can't access meeting recordings. Inconsistent ability to quote reply to peoples messages. Integrated calendar that automatically tries to make you join meetings you have not yet responded to (with no way to configure not to happen). Search results that don't allow you to go to the specific part of long conversations. These are issues I currently have with Teams: ![]() I feel most features in teams are worse than others or have major issues.
