Microsoft Teams should have a “cooldown” feature, when someone splits a single sentence into 7 separate messages, they get a message “sorry, you’re doing that too much. please try again in one minute”

There’s nothing more annoying than those people who hit the enter key between every three words and all your devices explode with notifications

Microsoft Teams should have a “doesn’t make my computer’s memory scream in agony” feature.

Omg yes - Sometimes I have to restart my computer 3 times a day because Teams is destroying its ability function normally

Oh awkward I do this lol. Teams is texting, emails are long form. Just mute my chat!

like

I wish people would if their messages are going off every. Single. Second.

It should have a note that says “every time you hit send, I play a noise in your teammates ears.”

like

They need to treat teams messages like emails, but there’s no polite way of telling someone that their premature enter-button smashing is a grenade to concentration.

“this is not an xbox controller sir, it’s a program that makes multiple noises and vibrations every time you hit that button”

like

Those times when I show my partner a message I’ve typed on my phone, to double check before I hit send (text, Teams, Whattsapp etc) and we pass the phone to each other like it’s a grenade without a pin.

It would be cool if there was an option to limit the number of messages you could send in a day.

The thing on Slack is when I hit return it posts. 🤦‍♀️ Whyyyy????

Same thing for any text messages

Discord is just Slack for gaming, and at least there’s an option for “slow-mode”, where you can have a little delay between posts tbh

OMG SAME!

This!! Gave me so much unnecessary stress and anxiety in my previous job, would’ve really appreciated a feature like this! I can still hear phantom Teams pings now lol

You guys really gotta turn off notifications. Bad for mental health.

Pro Tip: The “A” with the pencil next to the text box turns this feature off. It essentially turns the text box into a low-fi word document where you can format and press enter at your leisure. Realizing this changed my life.

Hope this helps.

Microsoft Teams should have features.
