have they fixed teams yet?

that app that like the entire united states uses for pc work every day?

i still cant copy paste a code block, or copy paste literally anything. i think microsoft should use AI to learn how to code code blocks in chat or they should ask chatgpt how to use the clipboard of their own OS

Yes of course. It works perfectly for what it was meant to be: good enough so people won't switch away from MS ecosystem to have a group chat. Nothing more.

Teams is actively developed along the lines that deliver greatest value to Microsoft at the expense of their customers (a business model increasingly popular these days):

1) implementing corporate-nerfed versions of vanity features introduced by competitors in group chat space (Slack, Discord);

2) broader integration with everything else in Microsoft's corporate ecosystem.

You can be excused for thinking Teams is just a crappy chat-based interface to SharePoint, because this is what it effectively is (Don't have SharePoint? Sucks to be you.).

Copy-paste? What are you? A corporate smartass? There's no budget left for smart-ass features - it's all in lock-in features, where the RoI is much greater.

Copy paste? What are you trying to do, exfiltrate company secrets? Security turned off that feature to protect us all.
MS Teams is exactly what I'd expect from an AI-generated app --- barely working, lots of little bugs and general oddness, and overall a mediocre experience.
Isn’t teams quite an old product?
Every day, I thank myself for working in the one municipality that went in early and hard on GSuite.
