This is gonna sound like a troll post but i assure you it is not.

I don’t have a coding background but I’ve used Teams in a lot of workplaces and really only encountered like 2 issues entirely.

Either I got seriously lucky or it was before enshittification.

Why do you yourself dislike it? Is it UI? Performance?

I should also say I use Teams for basic purposes like messaging and uploading files, I literally don’t touch anything else and performance hadn’t been an issue. (Likely because I’ve been given thicc-ass workstations in the past)

    If I want to copy a text message, I have to avoid the emoji pop-up, then very carefully click and drag over the text, making sure I don’t also copy the user name. Then I have to paste it in Notepad to edit out any weird hidden characters. Copy it again and paste it.

    If I want to send a reaction emoji, it’s just a clock away.

    Who the hell designed this abomination?

      You reminded me how Teams defaults to emoji when typing too.

      I’ve had times where I’m making a point like “ Here is a point (here is context): “ and Teams will turn that last ): to a sad face emoji….

      It’s been a while since I’ve encountered that, but I had no idea how to undo it and it irritates me that they default to emojis over grammar for a work-first application.

      If you double click on a message it will highlight everything (including the name and emoji crap)

      If you triple click it will only highlight the single line or paragraph.

        If you 7-click the text, then SHIFT+CTRL right click, then say “Bill Gates”, it’ll copy the text in ASCII.

        But it costs 2 Azure credits.

          I think it’s fair to criticize that these usages aren’t well surfaced but double and triple clicking to select different amounts of text works in most selectable text contexts in windows. These are user actions that most people will learn in different applications.

        I hope the UX designer that came up with that forever has weak elastic bands in his/her underwear.

          Fair, it should probably be the other way around. It’s still not difficult, but it should go from smallest to largest.
