Rant warning!
I mean I just quit a office call, the share screen ribbon wouldn’t disappear, opened task manager to kill it nope not found, finally had to select a “quit teams” option from start window. Note this is still windows 10.
Further the entire teams app is sloppy, when I start listing, the enter works but within the same message (when unintended) I have to ensure I click shift+enter to enter a new line. I can’t choose between enter and shift+enter.
A few questions now:
- why/how do these guys design a product this way
- Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?
An important sidenote is “Skype for Business” has nothing to do with Skype MSFT acquired. It’s just brand reuse to cover up their shitty product. What that product is? Good old MSN Messenger’s on-prem sister i.e. ms lync. In fact Skype for business main .exe is still lync.exe . This was acceptable in early 2000s. Now those outdated ui elements, confused windows and scrambled chat history, ignoring the offline messages after the first one. It’s wonky as hell to use in this day and age. At least there are some decent clients for open source platforms like matrix, mattermost, zulip etc. MS teams, MS Skype, MS anything is crap as always.
