there were 39 posts and I knew it was a new page. i envisioned that as post count ending in a multiple of 39 when in reality it was at a 38. gotta have 40 unread posts on a page to get an app snype.

My company deployed teams this week. pros: it's not Skype for business. cons: click on tab.... wait... wait... tab fully loads. is it like this everywhere or is my corporate spyware making GBS threads it up

we monitor many frequencies. we listen always. came a voice, out of the babel of tongues, speaking to us. it played us a mighty dub.
the teams client is a huge piece of poo poo in every way, but no, it shouldn't be that unresponsive

it will randomly stop rendering elements, maybe restarting the client will fix it, maybe not

it will, given enough time, use up all available memory and cause the system to hang

depending on the laptop there are a number of ways for it to somehow lock up the webcam driver such that the computer has to be rebooted to re-initialize it

it can just refuse to allow you to enter credentials at all, making it impossible to even sign in

but generally it's not terribly slow

oh and the teams outlook plugin is so buggy that outlook will inevitably prevent it from loading because it has crashed too frequently, necessitating setting a GPO to explicitly override that

after removing our lovely-rear end Genband software phones and replacing that with Skype for Business, it now sounds like they're removing S4B in favour of Teams, which has the brilliant side effect of rendering people unable to make or receive calls if Teams has problems, so they have to use their personal cells lmao

the teams client sucks so bad because of all the javascript but the call and video stuff usually works well. the chat is almost unusable tho

yeah, can understand that it is annoying clunk in regular use, but i use it a couple of times a week for contact with various other organizations, and it is mostly just fine.

actually the by far most annoying thing about it for me is that it is apparently underpinned by the usual microsoft stack of disparate configurable policies and settings, so every organization has some random subset of the features disabled or working in a slightly different way.

i tried to use teams to meet with some external collaborators, the linux client installed and opened fine

it needed me to sign in to join a video meeting??

then i signed in with a microsoft account that i apparently had (according to keep rear end), and "[my] organization needs to enable teams"? wtf???

we just used zoom, it actually worked

see this is precisely the kind of poo poo i am talking about. the defaults in teams (unless something has changed super-recently) are such that if you are invited to a meeting you don't need an account and you get video and so on. rather i expect that what caused this issue was some random nest of policies on the side of the external collaborators, requiring something of your account which makes no sense outside their domain.

for quite a while there were policies and configuration for teams dial-in endpoints that could only be managed through the old skype for business control center. then, for a while, they removed access to the skype for business control center, because it was depreciated, but they didn't move the configuration for those teams dependencies to the teams control center

yeah the defaults are pretty wide open and i had to unfuck the policies someone created in an attempt to "lock things down".

i had hoped this meant the removal of dials ins from teams which would have put an end to the most egregious boomer calls, but i guess no such luck

no such luck. conference bridges still exist, and you can even mostly manage them from the teams control center now
