Of all the meeting solutions, I’ve come to the conclusion that Google Meet is the least bad.
You can't set alerts for availability. This is functionality that it used to have, but lost across updates. This is by itself is enough to relegate it to the compost bin.
While I'm not saying it's perfect, I still think it's aeons better than Skype was shortly after its acquisition by Microsoft.
Screen shared coding with 1 fps. Genius.
Can't even see animations, quick actions, or significant subtleties.
What is crazy is that Mac version is more stable than windows in my experience. Still shit, though
It literally doesn't even function half the time.
I no longer work with corporations, but an online ornithology classI did used teams. It worked, mostly, for a while. Then one day it decided that video would no longer work on my machine. Of course there's no obvious log or anything.
I even booted windows to see if it would fix it, but no.
That was on a very exotic yoga 7 pro laptop.
It's the only piece of software that's ever behaved that way.
I use it daily and think it's excellent. Skype, on the other hand, is diabolical.
Everybody liked this
It may be crap, but it's a masterpiece compared to Skype for business.
I chalk most of the shit that makes teams horrible, is closely related to electron and their whole web app as a desktop app bullshit.
Buckle up, because they're doing that same enshittification to outlook next. It's already begun. There's a "new" Outlook. FML.
If teams was just teams and didn't have all this cross integration bullshit with OneDrive/SharePoint and Todo and viva I wouldn't mind it.
But no, it has to be part of the ecosystem 🤮
Why do they want IT admins to be useless?
My biggest complaint is that you can't save chat logs.
I work in government, and we do a LOT of stuff on Teams, and I'm just waiting for us to get sued because we can't turn over Teams chat logs in Open Records requests.
The only thing it does better than Slack: A list of all my chats, most recent at the top, without any disappearing or grouped in some weird way. Slack annoys me.
This is a most excellent place for technology news and articles.
