That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

The fact that me and a coworker can't both share our screens at the same time is absolutely batshit. 1x1 collaboration isn't even reasonable, nevermind anything more

Yes. Why the fuck doesn’t Teams have this capability??

[–] [email protected] 2 points 19 hours ago

Honestly, I like that it doesn't have it. We use Teams for meetings where one person is presenting, and if someone else wants to share, then we're going to switch presenters. Making sure everyone sees the same thing is important.

We use Slack for 1:1 or other impromptu small group discussions, and it supports multiple people sharing their screens.

So for us:

  • Teams - larger group meetings with generally one presenter; collaboration happens via audio, not screen sharing
  • Slack - smaller group meetings where there's a lot more active collaboration with screen sharing and whatnot

I only use Teams for scheduled meetings and Slack for everything else.

Try sharing anything except excel and enjoy your 3fps. Being a game dev and wanting to show videos or share my screen while playing is a no-go.

Videos can work, but I think you need to enable some feature that prevents tearing. It works fine for people who frequently present with it, but I honestly just avoid videos in my presentations because I don't want to mess with it.

I need to run and stream games at 1440p 60fps 😀

[–] [email protected] 3 points 16 hours ago (2 children)

Sounds like you want streaming software like OBS, not Teams...

[–] [email protected] 3 points 15 hours ago

Yeah, maybe Parsec.

Teams isn't intended for streaming video games, it's for meetings.

Discord would be optimal. But not an option.
