That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

Unfortunately, much better than Skype

[–] mangaskahn@lemmy.world 7 points 1 week ago (3 children)

Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?

I mean, Skype now is just a turd. I guess it was given to interns as an exercise and as a way to force people to use other solution. But teams also suck, in its own particular way as you described
