    It’s buggy, the call quality is shit, and it lacks some major Slack and Zoom features.

    Specifically, channels, organizing / grouping chats, threads, etc. Not having that hurts.

    That said, it does archive video chats in a thread that people can comment on. That’s cool. But that’s the only cool thing Teams does.

      Fuck slack though.

      I hated the channel organisation, I would always click off a channel where I needed to respond to try and find other information, and then I’d never be able to find the channel I was responding to. Chronological sorting channels at least means I have a chance of finding where I was.

      Also fuck their terrible reply options. I generally just wanted to acknowledge that I was responding to a message, I didn’t want to spin up some weird thread.

      Basically, I hate everything, and don’t want to talk to anyone.

        Complaining about Slack is like complaining about Jira. Jira sucks, and I hate it, but every time I get forced to try the alternatives, I’m even grumpier.

      It is, in my experience, one of the better video call solutions out there. What do you think works better for calls?

        Zoom. The video, audio, and stability are all much much better than Teams.

          I did not have that experience. Additionally, the ux is so much worse

            I do a lot of interviewing and often encounter moments where we jump from Team to Zoom, or vice versa, and everyone gets a side by side of call quality. This usually happens when a candidate hasn’t used one of the products before and they are struggling to enable screen sharing permissions, so instead of wasting time, I jump us to the other product.

            Everyone always makes an unprompted comment about how much worse Team’s quality is. It’s really noticeable when you put them side by side. Feels like placing an old CRT TV next to an OLED.
