Teams sucks. Yammer sucks. They are both has-been afterthoughts as far as tools that actually solve problems well. They are only used in megacorporations where Microsoft has the corp by the balls with AD/Azure AD and Office.

I guess I am the only person in the world (according to HN) who doesn't hate Teams. Sure, it's klunky at times. But I use it on windows and on mac and I join lots of meetings with it. It consistently works well, the audio/video is solid, I have a better user experience as a presenter compared to using zoom. I'm not looking to get into a virtual meeting software war, I just wanted to point out that not everyone hates teams.

Count me in as well, I'm fine with it too. I'm in a larger corp and we're all Microsoft/Office/AD of course, and it does the job. Meeting invites work across Outlook and shared calendars/status and the reminders pop up on time. We don't use video much so for audio conferencing it's good.

It's just a tool, no tool is perfect, but this one works just fine.

The funny part is that for larger meetings and all-hands the company uses a completely different web-based system, and it's a piece of shit.

I've heard those positive sentiments before and I'm glad it is a better product for some people.

One of the features that kills me about Teams though is that I'm not able to join from Firefox.

Yep, I think people are just trying to be edgy or whatever. Teams is also a huge success at 270 MAU. It's clunky but it works every single time. Sure sometimes it feels like it's using a lot of resources for whatever reason but that's about the only complaint I have.

I think it especially works well when you exclude it from Windows Defender, I reckon most people having issues don't actually make a reasonable thought/config change before they get a knee jerk reaction to something.
