> Teams is probably the worst communications app I've ever been forced to use.

Not to pile onto MS Teams, but it's by far the most amateur hour system I ever had the displeasure of being forced to use.

I feel they even managed to botch their transition from Teams Classic. Official docs were out of sync with the app's transition, whole features were missing, some features were suddenly only made available to pro users. What a mess.

Make no mistake: the problems with MS Teams are not technical. It's product design and management. It felt like a rush job where everyone involved failed to get their stuff out, product managers felt the mess was acceptable, and the senior manager still made the call to release anyway.

MS Teams is a mess for the ages.

I apologize for venting like this but I had multiple critical meetings being postponed and rescheduled because MS Teams failed to work in creative ways. This definitely did not happen with Zoom or Google Meet or Slack.
