I fucking hate how Microsoft makes several different versions of OneNote, Teams, Outlook, MS accounts, etc. and then gives them the same name, and a very similar icon.
I can't wrap my head around who thought it was a good idea to have two Teams apps installed, with almost identical icons, and if you log into the personal Teams with an enterprise account or vice versa, you just get an error message.
Teams could have been a plugin on outlook. Now I need two apps to talk to everyone on work.
Every time I talk to my mom about her work with Microsoft products I'm dumbfounded "you have 3 tools from the same author and none of them interact with each other in any meaningful way but you have to use all 3 to get anything done?"
In order to resolve a concern, she has to check teams for the message to check her outlook for the email which will link to the ticket on Azure... And this isn't even an uncommon workflow lmao
Oh it gets better than that.
There are two calendars, one in outlook and another one in teams. They don't work the same way. If you have a teams meeting you need to attend you have to open that meeting in the teams calendar. Opening it up in the outlook calendar will just show the time but won't connect you to the call.
There‘s a button in the Outlook meeting to connect you or you click the link at bottom.
Eww no, Teams is a Slack like work chat app, Outlook is an email client and email is the worst thing to happen to corporate communication, email is only good for company wide announcements. The threaded view of a email chat looks idiotic, I've never met someone over the age of 40 who knows how to find an old email with attachments, so they keep asking you to email them the same files as attachments over and over again, it's slow as he'll, nothings more excruciating than the silence where you are on a meeting someone sends a email to someone else and now everyone has to wait for the email to arrive in the inbox. If it's not instant messaging I dont want it, "Yours sincerely" has no place in 2025 for me
It's often the only way for intercompany communication. Even if both companies use teams the various it departments have to do some incantation in order to make them talk to each other.
Sometimes meetings would be on the outlook calendar and not on the teams calendar or vice verse and then theres also shifts which is only viewable through teams and it makes me want to pull my hair out
