Teams destroying relationships

We need them badly, just not enough to pay not shit wages

No, just wondering what all the negativity is about.

Thanks for an actual answer. I haven't noticed anything that bothers me, but others might.

Nope, planner is still integrated into teams. My department uses it regularly.

Look, I truly mean this as softly as possible, because Teams does not in any way make this shit easy, but you are using it wrong.

Teams groups should have Sharepoint sites (on Azure) backing them, and are meant to be interacted with through the Office 365 online SharePoint "portal" thing if you need more than you can do through the Teams UI.

Why in the hell Microsoft has both OneDrive and SharePoint is one of the universe's stupidest and most confounding mysteries.

And in my experience, links to the documents through sharepoint do auto redirect/correct/stay working if you move the files around within the same sharepoint site, as long as the person opening the link still has rights to open stuff in the new location. If they didn't, I have a large project with a lot of interlinked documents that would have gotten absolutely fucked.

OneDrive also tends to do really fucky shit with that top level folder structure. Like trying to save things in the root of my onedrive that isn't synced instead of in the synced documents folder I always save to. Anyway, I stay away from using OneDrive as itself as much as possible and just use the automatic folder sync/redirect and interact with my local drive like OneDrive doesn't exist and my documents folder is magically synced across multiple machines by a capricious spirit. Don't even get me started on how it handles fucking one note stuff stored in onedrive when you browse through the web ui. Just fucking madness.

But if you're concerned, just make the only thing in the general folder a link to where shit really is. Probably the easiest solution.

tbf though, which other Microsoft project could he have said that would not have gotten himself kicked out?

Navigate through the documents by going to the sharepoint site for the teams group. Much much easier, and better search functionality.

I have no earthly idea why Teams itself doesn't just send you there and insists on having its own shitty file browsing UI.

Group task planner, shared calendar, shitty wiki functionality, shitty file sharing with multi user real time collaboration and revision history... that works infinitely better if you go through the underlying sharepoint site for the group instead of the batshit Teams UI.

The whole notion of LSP has been nice.

Flight Simulator maybe. Age of Empires.. not sure how much they are tied into that anymore though

What is it people don't like about Teams? It's mostly about integration with SharePoint

C# is a decent language. I'll stick with Java because the api ecosystem is so vast.

I had to use Teams for a hybrid conference. I used a Black Magic ATEM as my capture and the team's camera kept crashing. Checked every setting imaginable. Yet when I used OBS Virtual Camera as my video source and used the ATEM through OBS there wasn't a problem.

When I used to install collaboration systems, the main thing clients would tell me why they chose say a Logitech Rally with MS Teams over Cisco and WebEx was it's cheaper. With that said you can setup a Cisco Room Kit with Teams integration.

Did you see the launch of flight sim 2024?

I too would be wary of anyone working at Microsoft (or Oracle, or Salesforce, or SoftTech, or Tata or a bank).

I feel like you're the only person making sense. I work for a big corp that has a competent IT department. We shifted over to teams from Skype after COVID like a lot of other companies. There were some growing pains especially with some of the older folks at work but honestly it's been a net benefit. I have my personal gripes but my company is over 20k people and our implementation of the system is honestly awesome for corporate work.

Everything now is linked through our SharePoint site and smaller org based teams groups within that. We each control our own little micro site within the greater whole and it's much easier to share things between groups vs sending directory links through email or Skype. It's much more secure as I can control the permissions of files I share when I make the link. Very helpful when communicating with outside vendors. Timed permissions are really nice too as I can share access to a file for a certain amount of time before they have to request more access. Auto save has saved my ass tons of times but that's more of a SharePoint thing. But it does cause Excel sheets to calculate slower which is a big bummer and a tradeoff.

Does teams fuck up sometimes, ya it does. Especially when sending pictures or videos but fuck I don't know how you would even run a huge org like ours without something that is this integrated. People that complain about teams on Lemmy have interacted with it very little or work on teams that are small and don't implement it right. Id rather use a different system if I was working in any other environment and I do when I work on personal projects or small volunteer teams. Mostly slack and discord.

Sure the better option is a home brew system internal to the company you work for but when our company is already using Azure and 365 the switch to teams has been a no brainer.

I've used Teams, Zoom, Google Meet. Teams is the worst.
