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?
I’m on Mac and I dislike it too. No flashing cursor to let me know I’ve selected the chat window to type. The app insists on changing to a different view when I switch windows, making me lose it. The share screen ribbon always manages to be exactly where I need it to not be. Doesn’t allow any sort of Markdown-esque formatting in chat, only WYSIWYG.
Are you on macOS 26 Tahoe? The lack of text cursor is something I’ve noticed with Liquid Glass (also on iOS). I’m not sure if it’s a bug or by design, but either way it’s annoying and not intuitive.
Regarding markdown formatting, it works just fine for me. Is there a setting somewhere you need to toggle?
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.
