I hate MS Teams so much.

Hey, do you want to open it in the browser, or teams? Both are pieces of shit. That's it. What other option where you thinking of?

Oh you wanna project so everyone can see? Ok here's full screen! Oh yeah, we can show those employee icons bigger! Oh you mean full screen! Here's this option, we just need to hide 70% of your screen. There! Tiny screen full mode!

Ugh. The browser then!

"Hey, you should try using Microsoft edge! CLICK THERE TO TRY and here to not. Are you sure? Really? Last chance. Ok, for now. "

Looks like you're using a local account. Do you want to upgrade to a Microsoft account where you must have Internet to get to your shit? No? I'll remind you in 3 Microsoft days........73days and counting....72d...71... 3 seconds...5hrs....25minutes...50days...

In my work machine, mine has a special feature when someone shares their screen during a call and you go full-screen - the extreme audio lag feature.

But MS teams is very secure! It’s sandboxed in a web browser :) It’s effectively a single-tab display of an entire ram-eating chromium process :)

The only unfortunate side effect is that it can’t read your system default audio output, so it uses a cryptographically secure random number to decide which other audio output to use. That’s right - it very securely knows about all of your audio outputs, even though they aren’t the system default :)

Did you just try to send someone a file? Don’t worry, I’ve put the file in sharepoint for you, and have sent them a link instead. Actually, wait - you had already sent that to someone else, so I sent file (1).docx instead. Actually wait - that was taken too. Now it’s file (2).docx.

I would like to provide a friendly reminder that you will need to manage the file sharing permissions in sharepoint should anyone else join this 1-on-1 direct message chat :)
