I just want to find whomever decided to write teams in electron, and punch them straight in their genitals.
Seriously, fuck that app.
My problem isn’t so much with electron, it’s more with teams being run on electron. Out of all of the office (or related) applications, as far as I’m aware, teams is the only electron app, and it’s the only one with the kind of problems it gets.
I can run Outlook or Excel for months and nothing goes wrong. The other day, I ran teams for more than 24 straight hours (not doing anything other than chatting, and the occasional maybe 30m video meeting, or 15 minute call), and when I joined a video meeting, it ran like complete garbage. It was choppy and jittery. Just really bad. The fix was to close teams and reopen it.
That’s why I don’t like electron. It’s the only ms office related app that uses electron that I know of, and it’s also the only one that I know of which needs regular maintenance (by shutting it down, and starting it up again) in order to function correctly.
Honestly though, its not the developers fault. 100% they are being told what to prioritize working on, and I’m certain its exclusively business facing improvements. Microsoft only cares about making the package of features they provide look sexy to the people who would be pulling the trigger on bringing Teams to their office, not the people who actually have to use it.
Sadly this is just the way capitalism works, short term thinking, sacrifice the product for the sales, and then 5 years down the road wonder where it all went wrong; or monopolize the market and pay congress to pull the ladder up behind you.
My organization has all of our shared folders INSIDE of the Teams file structure. Supposedly, One Drive should sync with the files inside of Teams, but this never happens. Instead we have people constantly asking for files that are in the shared folders, but because they aren’t manually syncing every time they open the folder, they aren’t seeing shit. Its so goddamm frustrating, but my boss is insistent on keeping everything inside the one app for “convenience”.
THERE’S NOTHING CONVENIENT ABOUT TEAMS AHHHH
I love how when you share a file in a teams chat, it’s inaccessible to people who join the chat after you upload the file.
The coolest thing that happened to me with teams was somehow being invited and automatically accepted to some corpo training event. 1000 attendees. My computer would not shut the fuck up with random people in chat. It was so strange. It was like a twitch stream chat but talking about excel instead.
