Rant warning!

I mean I just quit a office call, the share screen ribbon wouldn’t disappear, opened task manager to kill it nope not found, finally had to select a “quit teams” option from start window. Note this is still windows 10.

Further the entire teams app is sloppy, when I start listing, the enter works but within the same message (when unintended) I have to ensure I click shift+enter to enter a new line. I can’t choose between enter and shift+enter.

A few questions now:

  • why/how do these guys design a product this way
  • Does it mean Microsoft can keep running any app which necessarily doesn’t appear on my task manager?

    If I type *blah* it shows it as something like blah, but I want it to not format until I send. It’s difficult for me to write in WYSIWYG editors. I want it to show *blah*.

      Ah yes, the live preview… that would be nice to have but I don’t imagine Teams would ever implement this degree of granularity in customization.

      If you end up submitting a feature request, make sure to tag it with “ai” and “copilot” so there’s at least some tiny chance someone will look at it ;)

        The AI push right now is crazy. Where I’m working all teams have to show how much they’re using AI and where. Rather than being measured on their success they’re being measured on how they’re doing it.

          Yes, I was only half joking about that.

          If you are ever so inclined, you can look at the Microsoft Graph API logging for some of the O365 services like Teams, there is a field in there that logs if Copilot was even mentioned in the transaction, let alone actually used.

          Seems like in many cases you can easily game the system to show how much you’ve embraced Ai.
