I’m in the same shoes about new job having to use teams and I wildly disagree. It is awful.
The best part of it is the noise cancellation on the microphone in calls seem pretty good and having a chat created for meetings is a good integration. BUT…
- voice quality significantly decreases as soon as it’s more than 2 participants… you can clearly tell the difference as soon as a 3rd member is invited.
- annotating on the screen share is extremely useful in slack (not sure if zoom has it too), not a thing I could find in teams
- the channels Vs chats separation in the UI is just weird
- the chats don’t have threads… that’s such a strong feature to contain conversations. I know the channels kinda serve this purpose but it feels weird to use them and closer to sending an email or posting on a forum than directly talking to someone (with having to write a title and bring presented in 1-2 messages per screen due to the size
Compared to zoom, I guess it’s not a big deal really. I’d prefer zoom but it’s oh well. Compared to slack (which has it’s own set of problems, but still) however it seems like a pile of shit in my opinion.
Teams has live annotations, it’s under accessibility settings.
Why is it under accessibility settings, though?
It’s not an accessibility setting!Its not, AFAIK. I think they are thinking of live captions.
Annotation is on the sharing toolbar, usable with full screen share only.
Thank you, I’ll give it a try tomorrow.
Are you thinking of live captions?
Annotation is on the sharing toolbar (full screen share only, not a window only share).
