Lets have no illusions. Teams is the absolute worst I have seen for teams. Basically every other tool I tried worked better.
However, Slack isn't that much better. It still gaslights Firefox users and tells them their browser is not supported. What a nice way to put it, that after friggin' years, they still have not managed to implement voice chat in a standard conform way. Discord and others have had this for years! Only Slack and Teams (in browser) seem to have incapable development teams behind them, who are comfortable with gaslighting unsuspecting users into using Chromium-based browsers, furthering web mono-culture.
There are so many issues with Teams, that I am wondering, what they are even working on. Surely they cannot be bugfixing all day, if so many bugs remain after years. We've had 2-3 years of pandemic now. What the heck are they doing!? They could have made the business. Instead they shove this broken thing down our throats and time will come, when people will just run away screaming, just like they did with Skype. Another business opportunity of MS ruined by bad quality software output.
Stuff like that should get banned immediately, before it can harm the web any more, than it already has.
Without any inside knowledge, but having been part of many mega-projects like this I'm willing to take a stab at it: new features vs. QoL is a huge, huge tension that exists in projects like these.
New features get new customers, and more importantly gets execs excited and people promoted. Refactors, performance improvements, etc, are almost never appropriately rewarded or prioritized, so QoL problems tend to accumulate until a crisis moment, where the organization is forced to shift priorities to address a user experience that has badly degraded to the point of significant customer revolt.
I saw this with a front-row seat with Google Maps: features kept getting piled in to the app (did you want to know what the most popular dishes at a restaurant is? Now you can!) while renderer performance continually regressed, map overlay rendering bugs accumulated, and the original "slippy map" UX degraded. At this point the mobile app is deeply unpleasant to use - it hitches regularly and has trouble hitting 60FPS even on top-flight flagship phones. The product clearly hasn't reached the "crisis" moment yet, but it is on a trajectory to.
Teams seems like it might be at (or near) the crisis moment. It's a shame that organizational dynamics prevent these sorts of issues from deteriorating to this point, but it's a pretty common feature among product teams to prioritize new feature dev while existing (and way more core) features degrade.
> It still gaslights Firefox users and tells them their browser is not supported
I checked in to this a few weeks, and it really doesn't work for technical reasons. They use some deprecated experimental Chrome API (which is also slated for removal). Slack in general is an absolute mess in terms of engineering.
It just so happens that I had to use Teams the other day for a job interview, and at the last possible moment it notified me that Firefox doesn't work for video :-/ Had to hastily install Chromium. Didn't look in to the reasons for that.
I can tell you something they are working on and its not bug fixing but more bloat: They are adding games to teams so you can play solitaire while having a call. Not sure what kind of product manager thought that is a good idea but here it is!
Discord is probably the only company that can make voice+chat+streaming software right.
It's insane how bad Teams' chat is.
I don't know who was crazy enough to paste fucking formating with text,
so when you copy from IDE/docs/whatever then Teams applies font sizes / colors and makes mess, so you have to copy stuff to e.g notepad and then to Teams. Additionally leaving `` block sometime doesn't work <wtf>
Cool software doesn't do crazy shit with Clipboard and Links

lack of Push2Talk option (not mute/unmute btn) is tragedy, did those people ever play some video games with teams/guilds?
Ventrilo had this feature in probably 2003, Discord uses it too, but enterprise communicators struggle to figure this simple feature despite being so good, especially when everybody was WFH and had people in the house talking.

On the positives side - calendar and its integrations are unparalleled and meetings are decent.
I'm so happy Microsoft's attempt to buy Discord died. Intuitively it would have been great, MS would be able to leverage Discord tech and make their other products better. The reality would have been, like their purchase of Skype, to continuously make the product worse until it becomes as bad as all the other MS products.
Discord is still lackluster on many fronts. Their implementation of threads is probably the worst I've ever seen or used, for example.
That said, it is a great platform to use nowadays. But as someone who's used it (literally) daily since 2015, it's worth pointing out that it took them a significant amount of time to get to this point, and they still have ways to go.
The (forced) threaded chat in Teams is an absolute nightmare and I refuse to believe they dogfooded it to see if it was actually useful. It just made everything take a whole bunch of extra time and effort to follow and comes across as a feature that someone thought was just kinda neat without caring to determine actual usefulness.
Do teams really have that many separate discussions in a single chat so often that it necessitates threads instead of, say, splitting those broader topics into new rooms? That also lets users mute or otherwise adjust notification settings for things are are less relevant to them. Last I remember, threads barely even reported new messages inside them, and would only show the first message, so the team chat just looked dead forever the moment it was added.
I sometimes want to keep formatting when copy and pasting documentation from the KB in the web. Keeping formatting helps with emphasis and colored text and bullets in documentation.
In teams on Mac, to paste as plaint text on a mac, when you paste, use Shift + Option + Command + V, it appears to work for me. The Shift + Option modifiers doesn't seem to work with the right-click menu, but it does with the keyboard. For windows it may be Control+Shift+V. https://www.howtogeek.com/807223/ctrlshiftv-is-the-best-shor...
> Discord is probably the only company that can make voice+chat+streaming software right.
Discord is absolutely terrible though compared to what I'm used to. The default settings are bonkers — you get badges and dots and all the crap EVERYWHERE, but it turns out those all are super-important @all @here @everyone "server announcements". Broadcast mentions should just never have been invented. They definitely shouldn't be displayed the same as personal mentions. And Discord notification settings aren't easy to configure correctly. I somehow managed to mute a "server" so much that I wasn't receiving even direct mentions, when my intention was to only disable non-direct ones.
The UX for when you haven't been reading a chat for a while is also awful.
The UX in general, with it being an Electron app and implementing all controls and their behaviors from scratch, just can't technically get even close to feeling macOS-native. This, the forced auto-updating, and having to run one more Chromium instance, made me realize that I can run it as a browser tab and not lose anything.
Teams will literally crash my 16 inch i9 Macbook Pro (2021). Failing that, it will drain the battery in an hour or two (even when nothing is happening on teams). God forbid I try to copy or paste some text on teams...
Teams is an absolutely garbage app and platform....on a good day
Why when someone react on a chat message, opening the chat channel is not enough to dismiss the notification counter? No! I need to click on "Activity" tab. Here I see a list of my activities. The reaction is still here! Someone put an emoji on my text. I exult. Teams can now dismiss the notification counter...
I hate it, but... goto the chat channel and click in it.
I had someone on the team here send one, I was already in the chat and it still showed up in Activity. I just click in the message area and it goes away.
Teams is worse on Windows, but so is everything, especially Microsoft apps for some reason. I find them to be annoyingly-glitchy-but-usable on macOS but entirely unusable on Windows.
It’s actually even more dumb: Teams does dismiss notification as they come into view. As they come into view. Notification is about a message you already see? Scroll away a little, scroll back again, bingo, notification dismissed. Works at least 90% of the time.
I've developed such a deep-rooted, passionate, magmatic hatred for Microsoft Teams that I'm now infamous amongst my friends for my mini rants. I'm a freelance software consultant, and many of my clients have their own Microsoft Teams Teams (?), and there's no easy way to join and switch between multiple teams using the same account. Typing is slow, and literally _everything_ else is too, and video calls regularly bring my 2019 i7 MacBook Pro to its knees.
If a witch approached me and told me she could make Microsoft Teams disappear for good at the cost of severing a finger (presumably for a potion...I've got no idea; I'm a developer, not a witch), I'd offer her two for the trouble.
Teams is hands down the worst piece of software I have used in my entire career. Not just because it's slow and resource heavy - the amount of bugs, idiotic design decisions, artificial restrictions and the constant wheel of changing features without giving the user any choice or say about any of them.....it all adds up. It's just an awful awful awful product.
I was an early adopter of Teams and generally feel like MS gets too much criticism for e.g. Windows. I really wanted to like Teams. But having used it daily for two years, the only thing I'm impressed with is how badly they managed to mess it up. Whatever software team worked on this should be ashamed.
It caused my 3 year old high-end Windows laptop to hang completely after a few minutes of conversation, sometimes eating all my CPU with no activity whatsoever. Tried to do a clean boot, didn't help. Had to get a new laptop just because of Teams.
Microsoft needs to disband the Teams team and start afresh with a non-Electron base that’s better designed. MS Teams is awful on Windows too. It’s slow to respond and makes the system slower. Having 16GB RAM and not running anything else that’s heavy doesn’t make much of a difference either. MS Teams is like the camel in the story “The Arab and the Camel”. Teams won’t stop until it occupies the entire tent!
The problem isn’t with Electron. Electron is really fast. It isn’t even with voice or video or whatever. Those are native DLLs/libraries with good codecs if you have the desktop app installed.
No. The problem is that Teams was rushed to market a few years back to compete with Slack and whatnot. Using Angular.js (that’s right, not Angular 2+ which was already available). Years passed. Stuff keeps getting added. It’s still Angular.js.
>MacBook Pro 16" i9 with 16GB RAM every day. This was supposed to be the most kick-a$$ laptop at the time
Firstly that entire era of MacBooks is hot garbage, literally. The case can’t handle the heat the processor creates. Even for basic tasks they all sucked and were probably the poorest performing Macs in multiple decades.
But here’s the real issue, end of the day there is no incentive for devs to build proper performant Mac apps anymore. The sheer cost and team required to ship one of these natively as well as on top of the iPhone and iPad apps which again require custom work each is absurd compared to just shipping a chrome wrapper that doesn’t seem to impact the success of an app at all, hard to name a popular Mac app these days that isn’t just a chromium wrapper, outside of video/audio/3D software.
Teams is by far the worst application I had to interact with in the last decade.
Sometimes I have to go to incognito to open meeting link.
Other times I have to open link from Chrome because opening from FF doesn't work.
Sometimes I have to reinstall it.
Sometimes audio decides not to work.
It takes 1 minute to launch it.
I mean, if you have a meeting, 10m notification in advance is about right as that's the time you need to start launching it and you should be just on time or just a little bit late.
I have no idea what the team developing teams is doing.
They should be all fired and rehired just to be fired again.
Maybe they're using teams for standups/meetings or something?
Remember Skype? How it could run in the background and get text messages and calls and not really cause any problems?
And then Microsoft bought Skype, and every subsequent version just kinda got a little shittier? And then MS puts effort into MSN Messenger and other not-Skype things despite Skype having a huge established userbase for both personal and professional use?
IIRC, they gave up with the later versions of Skype and used Electron for those too, but I still remember them being at least a little bit better than the absolute heap of shit that is Teams. I mean, it's almost like you have to put effort into being a shittier-than-average Electron app.
Thankfully there is only one person inside of one client company who insists on using Teams. I couldn't imagine having to use it every day. I have to presume that nobody inside of Microsoft uses it… I can't imagine this shit is being dogfooded.
At my previous job, I despised using Teams. I know, we're not supposed to be multitasking during meetings, but Teams harmed the performance of my computer so much during meetings that I was forced to focus on them. Heaven forbid if I had to be presenting (had to turn off incoming video for this to even be at all usable)! And, of course, one should assume if it's dragging performance down, that means the fans are going full speed the entire time. I have sensitive hearing, so I had to apply a power profile that turned down the fans without the computer overheating, which means lowering performance and making the Teams performance vampire worse.
And this wasn't on a mac. This is not a mac only issue.
I was so glad to learn my new job uses Slack, instead. It has its own set of problems, but it doesn't try to kill my computer.
The online chat experience is subjectively worse in the last 5 years or so compared to how it was in the '90s, '00s, and early '10s. I don't have the issues the OP has, but I do have significant lag with text input when typing in Teams or Slack. This was never an issue with IRC clients, XMPP clients, or aol/msn/aim/yahoo/icq instant messenger clients. I'm not sure about screen sharing, but I do know that video chat was supported by later versions of the proprietary ones.
At least screen sharing and video/voice chat works well on Zoom, even on Linux distros.
It's an incredible piece of crap on an M1 Max too. It's by far the heaviest piece of software I run on it, and that's counting games and heavy Scala and F# development. A flippin video chat :)
Slack, which is also an incredible pos, feels snappy and lightweight in comparison.
I think I've mentioned this 5 times before on this website, but on Linux Teams will keep recording your microphone after you leave a meeting (which is easily verifiable through pavucontrol). In the year and a half that I worked at a company using Teams, this was always the case. The only way to make it stop is to restart the process.
Do you have adblock of some sort? Especially something at the DNS level, like the PiHole operating on your computer or network?
Because that will absolutely destroy Teams.
Teams tries to send Telemetry to MS, and the code is poorly written, where it keeps stacking up all those messages it was supposed to send, and keeps trying to resend them. This adds up and brings it to a grinding halt.
Try disabling the ad/dns blocking and see if it helps.
Only tangentially related; why is Teams removing space indentations in chats on MacOS? It’s so annoying when you type a piece of (pseudo) code, all leading spaces are removed! It drives me nuts, why would anyone implement this!
It's been doing that for a while, and I don't think it used to. I can't imagine it's intentional. Pasting formatted/styled text into Teams always ends up outputting some butchered version of what it originally was.
The one thing I hate about Teams and Outlook on Mac is that it takes a full minute to convert a smiley face :) to the emoji equivalent. Sometimes it even crashes the apps.
I haven't had this experience with Teams on my similar MBP 2016, but do experience it on a Surfacebook 2. I could never understand why these electron apps just destroy certain machines though. I'm not doing anything intensive on them. It would be lovely to have light-weight clients similar to mIRC just to do the daily chatting.
Teams is the worst Microsoft app i’ve used in terms of performance and reliability. critical UI elements like the mute button will suddenly disappear permanently. features like chat will disappear and reappear on reboot . i’ve been suddenly logged out in the middle of calls and prompted to enter microsoft login when it’s not needed . and ditto to the comments on memory and cpu consumption

1. Install the Microsoft Edge Web browser on your Mac
2. Log into https://teams.microsoft.com
3. Click ... > Apps > Install this site as an app
This will create an Edge app for Teams that uses almost no resources but has feature parity with the regular Microsoft Teams app.
We tell all of our students to do this, and it has solved all Microsoft Teams performance issues on student Macs (both Intel and Apple Silicon).
