Question microsoft teams: what is your experience ?

good day dear friends,😎

...in the last few months, Microsoft Teams has become the central communication tool in many organizations almost overnight – whether in home offices, in hybrid teams, or as a new basis for collaboration within companies. What started as a stopgap solution for many – e.g., during the coronavirus pandemic – has now become part of everyday life – with both ups and downs.

So – I'm curious: How do you experience using Teams – in your organizations, projects, or in exchanges with colleagues?

What surprised you – both positively and negatively?

Here are a few impressions from our side:
  • Well, the integration of chat, file storage, and meetings – it looks quite successful and practical;
  • But: some design decisions still seem a bit immature – I think it could be a bit more clearly laid out.
  • And somehow, sometimes you get the feeling that Teams can do a lot, but not always what you need.

I'm especially interested in:
  • Which features do you use most intensively and extensively and why?
  • Where are the problems in your day-to-day work, what annoys you about Teams and its use?
  • Are there any tricks, workarounds, or settings that really improve your day-to-day team life with Teams?
  • Or do you use alternatives (Slack, Zoom, Mattermost, etc.)?

In short, what's your experience with Teams? 🙂
 
I haven't tried it since Microsoft merged all the versions of Teams into one (there also used to be three different versions of Skype... god I hate Microsoft sometimes).

The main complaint that I've received from customers about Teams is that it takes ages to start up and it auto-starts with Windows.
 
good evening dear Mileymikec
many thanks for the reply. Glad to hear from you. Well i do not like Microsoft so much - personally i am a Linux addicted - but well at my office we have Teams no - being introduced so i just have to get familiar with all that kind of stuff.
I hope that Teams could support our team with some nice features -

First day of usage was two weeks ago - i guess that the "Beta" Phase at our office - will take some time - (untill all colleagues get fully involved).

again - thank you mikeymikec for your reply


btw: you sometimes also dislike MS - well i think we share ths feeling. But anyway - i ll have to use it .. - at least at the office. 🙂
 
We use it at work as our main method of real-time chat. When we first encountered it back during Covid, I though it felt rushed to market. Today I use it for all the things it does and while I don't love it the way I do Word or Excel, it has matured into a solid platform for file sharing, presentation, and chat.
