As someone who uses teams for work it sucks tbh. It is crazy to me when I found out that only one person can share screen at a time.

A big group of people who have to use it for work would say it's the worst app ever created.

Just curious: why do you feel like that's such a major problem? How often do you need to have more than one person sharing their screen simultaneously?

[–] [email protected] 1 points 1 year ago

Honest to God no "problem" for me because I don't like to share my screen during work but sometimes it is needed or maybe wanted etc so some one can see two screens doing something at once etc. But only other app I use is discord and that definitely does it.

Honestly, seeing the possible interactions between teams and the office suite, for a business it does makes sense to use one if you have the other....

The issue is more of it not being a choice as they are bundled even if you don't use it.

They’re bundled yeah but you don’t have to use it. You’re fully welcome to buy a competing platform like zoom and use it.

You have the choice to use Linux with Libre Open Office (as I do). If you use Microsoft, you should know what you're getting yourself into.

It's still a very dirty way to acquire marketshare. Sure, Msft is evil but a lot of companies rely on their services.
