Which is unfortunate, but a consequence of Microsoft's perennial, embrace, extend, extinguish - they embraced instant-messaging version 3 (or wherever we are now), and they're onto the extend part - extending Teams' reach by bundling it 'for free' in Office, and the OS, so people don't "need" to buy Slack.

Slack won't be 'extinguished' but it will have a falling market share, despite the dumpster fire that is Teams, and the bean-counters in most corporations getting kudos from their bosses for 'cost savings'.

Teams are decent tbh

Ive been using them since 2021 iirc and they improved a lot

And im using Discord daily which is state of the art

Teams is trash, don't lie like that. It's the single most frustrating piece of software i interact with at work.

Im not lying, I dont have any problems with them

Calendar and meetings are decent, chat is viable and I dont need more

Whats causing problems for you?

Frequently fails to connect, doesn't honor system audio device settings and frequency forgets its own, frequently fails to mark messages as read, sometimes even after hitting "Mark all as read," sometimes fails to send notifications on new chats, especially on my phone.

It's the least reliable chat program I've ever used.

The next victim is going to be Figma
