> A flippin video chat

The video chat is less terrible than it’s worst parts. Managing documents through it is just gross.



Whoever thought that I’d want to edit a word doc in a frame in teams is insane. I’m not sure the use case where anyone wants to do that rather than launch Word or launch a browser.

It’s so dumb as it has a limited subset of functionality and takes over my screen from a meeting and only opens one document at a time.

That and if I try to link to a document it links to opening the document in teams. It’s so bizarre.

I can’t imagine the Teams team dogfooding Teams. Or perhaps I can and it’s some schizophrenic bizarre group who thinks it’s all intuitive.

It kind of reminds me of how crazy the Steam client is with it’s crappy browser stuff. But at least they have links working properly.


Didn't even know that was possible. But yes: huddling and sharing screens in slack actually deserves some credit because that always works well. (Jesus C. - I just gave software credit for working.)

In my mind Slack does not add one iota to mIRC 4.5 (?) which fit a single 1.44M diskette and came as a single executable. That shit started before the MouseUp event was even fired on pre-pentium hardware. What in the name of something holy happened?


I believe it's using Sharepoint behind the scenes, so yeah... gross.
