I’ve used Teams every day all day for the past 4+ years and I have had minor issues with it ~5 times. Hundreds of my fellow co-workers use it and I’ve not heard anyone run into the consistent issues you’ve described. We use it for 100% of our conference calls, sales calls, 1:1 working sessions, all-hands (hundreds of attendees), virtual trainings, new-hire onboarding, etc… I’d say it’s the most useful software we use in my company outside of email. Admittedly, I’m yet to experience the pure bliss that comes from collaborating on an NFT project with fellow Slack team members from my Mac Book Pro while riding in my auto-pilot enabled Tesla. Until then, I’m pretty content with what I’ve been able to do with Microsoft Teams over the years.

Ever tried searching for a conversation you had with someone, and you search for something you remember saying, and click ‘go to message’ and rather than take you to the conversation with all the important context you were actually looking for, it just shows that single message on the center of the screen all by itself with no way to see the rest of the conversation? That’s the best.

  Can’t say I’ve ran into that. Try using “/find” function in the global search.

    Used it. Doesn’t help. And while we’re in the subject, global find is also awful. Why do I have to find then click through to more messages before it gives me filtering options. It’s incredibly unintuitive.

  This. Every time this happens I'm having a sudden desire to throw my computer out of the window.

  There actually is a (stupid) workaround: You first pop out the chat into a separate window. Then search for the message in the main window. Now click "go to message", you will jump to the message in the separate chat window, giving you the context.

    Thank you. I can’t wait to try this out. In the meantime, I’m at a loss for words…

Maybe its regional, but for the last 4 weeks me and every coworker has a 50% call connect failure rate. Join a meeting or call, it sits there for about 15 seconds then throws an error. Second connect works OK.

I'm forced to use it on a Mac. Every. Single. Time. I try to navigate to the window through command-tab, it fails to actually put the window in focus. So I end up having to hunt through my XCode windows, IntelliJ windows, whatever other nonsense I have open - to find a message ping that I probably would rather not have received anyway.

  When I share an application on my mac, Teams overlays directly on top of that application window every time and I have to move it out of the way. It is so annoying.

This is the most minor of nitpicks but I think most NFT projects are organized over Discord.

  Not nitpicking. I’m just a n00b. I haven’t even lost my v-card in the Metaverse yet!

If you use it for 100% of your sales calls, your probably not making all the sales you could be. It is very difficult to use Teams as an external to the org user. Some of your clients are being alienated by Teams.
