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)

    Current pet peeve: I’m in a meeting, and I click to switch to another app to check something, then I click the Teams icon to switch back to Teams. Clearly, in this case, I want to get back to the meeting.

    Instead, it shows me the calendar view. WTF, Microsoft?

      Isn’t the meeting just a different window? Sounds like you have an issue with your windows manager instead.

        Yes, it’s a different window.

        The issue is that it’s not the first window that Teams selects when I click on it.

        Blame it on the macbook if you like, but IMO Teams is at fault.

          If that’s program defined behaviour then yes that’s definitely a Teams problem. Stuff like this is why I hate grouped icons though, I just don’t have the issue because I have seperate task bar slots for both windows.

            I don’t have this issue in any other apps, so yes, def a Teams thing.

            What OS are you using? AFAIK there’s no way to pin the separate Teams windows to the Dock in osx.

              That’s on windows, I don’t have teams on my arch install (does it even exist for linux?) but it works with KDE too (at least with other programs).

              Kinda sucks that mac OS doesn’t even allow that as an option. Windows started defaulting to grouped icons at some point (probably copying mac) and I’ve always disliked it, but at least you could always disable it (save for some small period at the start of windows 11 that I thankfully never had to use).

              Though overall it seems pretty popular, it’s just cases like these where it can get really annoying I suppose.
