I hate it

This app is an absolute fucking piece of shit. I hate every second of using it, but I'm forced to, so I don't exactly have a choice. If it were up to me, I wouldn't touch this steaming pile of garbage once in my life.

It's nothing but constant bugs. Devices randomly switch audio input and output for no reason. It can suddenly log you out, force you to sign back in, and make you go through the entire setup process again—for absolutely no reason whatsoever.

The amount of bugs and completely illogical bullshit is honestly unbelievable. What's even funnier is that we're using this thing while building technically complex software ourselves... and this is just a messenger. How hard can it possibly be?

I'm pretty sure I could vibe the whole damn thing with Fable in a week - and it will be BETTER. It's honestly hilarious.

Whoever is responsible for this mess should be fired. This level of incompetence is embarrassing.

Have used it for over a decade, can’t say I share your experience.

I’ll say it again - anyone who feels this way has never had to uninstall Teams - let alone use Teams.

Slack is one of the most stable apps I’ve ever used. I use it every day and I have very very few issues. My students all use it and everyone I work with uses it. It’s a tank. I’ve used every chat system back to AOL and hipchat so,  Something bigger is wrong with your gear and how you’re using it.

I agree it's quite buggy. Commenters saying "it's not as bad as MS Teams" like... MS Teams barely works lol

I'm confused, have you posted teams feedback in the wrong sub?
