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)

    While this makes sense to you and me, how do you explain this to brenda from hr?

      You don’t. You fix it with group policy or Intune and she never sees that.

        While this is the answer for an IT Admin, it isn’t for companies on not-Windows and all the small/medium companies on O365 who were sold it on the promise of not needing IT Admins for their stuff.

          not-Windows

          The context is literally a Windows dialog box.

            Not everyone at a company can be managed by group policy or in-tune or whatever. Like if they aren’t using windows. You can run into the same situation on macOS or Linux depending on if you have the old and/or new clients installed at the same time.

              The context is literally a Windows dialog box – one which the user should never see in a properly maintained corporate environment.

              It is 2024. Endpoint management software is cross-platform now. But this is a Windows dialog box. So I’m not sure what point you are even trying to make.

              I have no interest in engaging further with your pedantic hypotheticals. Go move the goalposts with someone else.

                I wasn’t even trying to argue with you. It was just info that didn’t require a response since not everyone lives in a corporate computing environment. You are the one who wanted to tilt at imaginary goal posts for no reason. Not every comment in a thread is an argument.

                Touch grass and relax a bit. The corporate environment can be properly maintained another day.

        I hate that your solution is to remove more user control. I admit it’s probably the correct one… but I hate it.

          If you’re responsible for enterprise workstations, the last thing you want is for Brenda in HR to be able to install/run unauthorized software in the first place. She has full access to employee files, payroll data, insurance, etc.

          Her shit better be locked down.
