My workplace used g suite then got acquired and spent six painful as fuck months transitioning to SharePoint and teams.
Half the shit in teams doesn't work and I'm still bitter about wasting time transitioning. My favorite three current issues.
From the SharePoint homepage there's a nice little search bar, you can type in your query and get literal garbage back. If you click "search more" to get it to stop being a modal window then the search results are accurate - Teams does this shit all the time... stuff that should be the same everywhere is just randomly implemented differently on different pages.
I currently have a little error bar in Teams - it says the web view version of edge is incorrect for this version of teams. If I click it (and there's little motivation for me to do so since everything seems to be working) then it opens a pane to a web page, redirects half a dozen times, then lands on a page that says "You already have this version installed". The next time I open teams the error is back.
If someone links to a SharePoint document in a teams chat I'll often get a "You need to be signed in" link unfurling and hovering over the link yields the same message. If I click on the link it'll realize I'm signed in and stop showing that error for a while. Please bear in mind that my teams account and SharePoint account are theoretically the same account. I have the same username and password to enter into both services and can't update information for them independently... if on Microsofts backend if they're technically different accounts then I, as the user, should never fucking know that. Fix your shit.
Bonus one for privacy. If you're in a meeting and muted Teams still demands mic access. If you haven't unplugged your mic or triggered a hardwareish switch then Microsoft is still listening to you... services usually keep listening so that's not super different. But Microsoft actually exposes that it's still listening! If you or someone else has auto-captioning turned on then the autocaptions may capture and transcribe your speech when you're muted.
I was very amused to read about my coworker watching an oblivion lore video when we broke for lunch in a day long meeting last week.
Teams just fucking sucks at everything, there's nothing they do that most of their competitors all do at least as good.
For the web view one, I was told by IT that it was my fault I’d updated Teams, they had to go into windows add remove programs and update edge web view manually… but I have no recollection of this …and even theoretically if I did, how does an entirely ms stack get into this state except through Teams being a shitty citizen
How dare you update a self updating web wrapper!
For the mic mute issue, I guess it's so they can show a little popup saying you are muted when they detect a signal coming in
That's likely correct... or they just want more training data.
Personally, I don't give Microsoft the benefit of doubt. But technically I'm guessing they are not sending the audio data to their backend so no snooping there.
The rest of the meeting is free game however I'm pretty sure.
