Microsoft Teams down for thousands of users
It&#x27;s hard to understand why Teams is so bad. They have all these engineers, and it&#x27;s not like it&#x27;s difficult to make a chat program. Teleconferencing, sure, that&#x27;s difficult. But most of the problems I hear about is &quot;Teams crashed&quot; or &quot;Wouldn&#x27;t connect&quot; or &quot;Makes my machine run unbearably slow&quot;. How do you end up with such a crap app? And why is the interface so terrible? Can&#x27;t they afford UX people? And why are there only 6 emoji reacts? Do they realize that people prefer Slack because <i>the experience is better</i>?<p>On top of all that, if you don&#x27;t have a &quot;Microsoft&#x2F;Office365 Business&quot; account, you can&#x27;t even connect&#x2F;join a meeting from a handful of clients, depending on if you&#x27;re chatting or teleconferencing. Only Chrome&#x2F;Edge works on browser, I can&#x27;t remember if Android works at all without a business account, the Linux client <i>kinda</i> works? It was such a pain when I tried to interview with a Teams-using org that I think I just sent them a Zoom invite, which of course just works everywhere.
