Teams is so annoying even on windows. Why when someone react on a chat message, opening the chat channel is not enough to dismiss the notification counter? No!

Teams is so annoying even on windows. Why when someone react on a chat message, opening the chat channel is not enough to dismiss the notification counter? No! I need to click on "Activity" tab. Here I see a list of my activities. The reaction is still here! Someone put an emoji on my text. I exult. Teams can now dismiss the notification counter...

The activity notification issue is annoying. Also: how can you provide a wiki module that’s not searchable? Teams feels to me like it’s thrown together by a bunch of interns that are learning Agile. Keep changing things without any strategy.

It’s actually even more dumb: Teams does dismiss notification as they come into view. As they come into view. Notification is about a message you already see? Scroll away a little, scroll back again, bingo, notification dismissed. Works at least 90% of the time.

  My Teams installation for work isn't dismissing even messages nowadays (it updated recently). It never dismissed notifications just by viewing them. In fact, it doesn't even reliably receive messages. At times there are days of delay from the message being sent to me receiving it. Anyway, no two people seem to have similar experiences with the application...

    Sometimes it randomly misses entire bits of chat history. Once a colleague replied to an old chat message. I clicked on it and nothing happened. I scrolled up and I found out that I had an hole of 3 days on my history.

You can fix that without going to activity. I hate it, but... goto the chat channel and click in it. I had someone on the team here send one, I was already in the chat and it still showed up in Activity. I just click in the message area and it goes away. I hate Teams. So much.

  I still haven't figured out the logic behind dismissing notifications. Sometimes they just get stuck forever. But the worst bug is that from time to time the freaking arrow keys stop working in the edit box! Last time it happened to me it lasted weeks and survived reboots. I can find references to this issue from 2019. How can such basic functionality be broken I have no idea. Mind, it could be worse. It could be Webex.

Teams is worse on Windows, but so is everything, especially Microsoft apps for some reason. I find them to be annoyingly-glitchy-but-usable on macOS but entirely unusable on Windows.

Until maybe a year ago, when they've introduced a similar client for Windows, the best RDP experience to be had was hands down on the Mac. A close second was Remmina on Linux. Windows was a complete shitshow. In particular, it wouldn't support resizing a connection window once it was open (technically it did, but it wouldn't update the resolution of the remote end).

    How do I get the new client for Windows? The one I'm using still looks basically unchanged from Windows 2000.

      It's on windows store, called 'Microsoft Remote Desktop"

Go to Settings > Notifications and turn off activity notifications for reactions. Significantly nicer experience.
