If I ever work at a company that uses Teams again, I will quit that company. How much I hate Teams can in no way be overstated. For a chat program it shouldn't cause so much anger, but its so bad at everything it does.
I’m eagerly anticipating our company moving to Teams.
Right now, the only approved chat solution is Skype for Business (with only plaintext messaging - rich text, files and images have been disabled for security reasons).
Other chat and social media sites are blocked at a firewall level (including Slack, Discord, Facebook, etc.).
I’ve heard bad things about Teams, but it’s surely better than the current solution we use with its lack of persistence and plain text limitation.
Oh man, I actually prefer the Linux version to the Windows one. The interface is a bit more usable, in that all the controls are grouped in the same place. On Windows, the bar is split along the top and right sides of the screen, and you can't set the incoming video to take the whole screen. Even "focus on content" still leaves a bunch of stuff hanging around.
The only thing I prefer on Windows is that it uses native notifications. Other than that, it's the same laggy, broken piece of crap on all platforms.
When I was still using a Mac, teams there seemed similar to Linux.
I just use the web version which works well enough on chrome, but is annoying. But luckily we also have slack and that's where most of data science/software collaboration happens
