Sorry boss, but using Teams in the car violates the Safe Driving SOP so no I can't make the meeting
Isn't it like speaking on Hands-free system with phone?
it's still going to be a distraction, especially if it's the rare type of meeting you actually need to listen to or engage with.
yeah, my thoughts exactly
But why?
Meh, the reality is Android Auto is such a bad idea anyway.
Being dependent on auto manufacturers to keep their head units up to date is silly. They're terrible at this game.
Ever had a car with GPS? My Android phone has beat car GPS since 2006. I have a new car in the family, and it will never see a mapping update. Oh, they claim it will exist, but when? And for how much? And when the manufacturer of that hardware ceases operations, what then? We use it just to have a map up, and phones for actual nav, for voice directions.
Until we see open hardware in head units (so we can manage it ourselves), it will continue to be a shitshow. But we know manufacturers will never give up that control.
I thought the phone rendered the UI shown on the headunit and all it does is pass though the video and button presses. I haven't had a headunit update in 6 years and android auto is running the newest UI.
I really don't want to be available for work while I'm driving. At least give me that time frame for myself.
My dude, I want two things in my Android Auto, and two things only: Maps and Spotify*. That's it. Stop cramming stupid shit that can't be used while I'm driving, what the hell.
*swap it for your music player of choice.
Vii music is great as well.
Ah yes that sounds like an incredibly safe idea.
How is that safe? And some people actually use their commutes to not work.
Not my boss. He'll be on a teams call while driving to the office. I don't get it.
That thumbnail is cursed
Great. The one app I actively avoid all the times is chasing me around like a scooby doo villain now.
No thanks. Keep the shitty electron app off my phone.
I can scare think of something I want less hahaha.
damn microsoft why you have to threaten us like that
Why in the ever loving fuck would anyone want Teams in their car?!
I even don't know a single person who wants it on their computer.
