Teams is too ‘integrated’. It’d be so much better if I could pop out certain windows

It's on the way. I have the tech preview with pop out conversations and it's amazing.

I think Teams has some real potential!

Between the two, I would definitely pick Teams. But in general, Slack is far superior to any option.

Current Teams is like iOS 1.0. It has all the right foundational ideas and laughable execution. Just give it time, it’ll be like iOS 13.

Teams is phenomenal. Doc storage & co-authoring functionality is awesome. Meetings/chat is just ok thus far.

like

We use it. It was rough at first and still occasionally crashes but over all way better than Lync (what SFB is based on)

like

Teams has slowly grown on me over the last year or so. Hated it at first and it still has some quirks that drive me nuts some days.

Teams instead of Skype, or instead of Slack?

Teams is the replacement for Skype and Skype will be sunsetted soonish (next summer for Skype for Business Online, January 2024 for SfB Server).

Skype is kind of a moot point now...

Is working on PowerPoint through teams truly collaborative (multi-user edit) like it is with Google Slides?

Not nearly as well done as google slides live editing.

Teams is better than SfB in pretty much every way.

I’m a fan!

Teams is basically Microsoft’s version of Slack

As things start to open up fully, some of my institutional clients are sending notices that we are expected to do X activity over zoom from here on out (things we used to do in person). Clearly it’s a cost cutting measure.

When is it either allowed or seen as OK to start using FTO? I recently started here and while I’m not looking to slack off and take time off, I just want to know how it works.

Fishes, OK so this is true. Wipro is delaying the joining by half a month due to some restrictions or organisational changes & not ready to compensate for that half a month loss of salary. Very rude & absurd behaviour from them. Hence rejecting the offer as such company if u aren't sure when to ask for joining u may revoke the offer letter later on. Hence multiple options in hand is necessary nowadays. Infosys Tata Consultancy HCL Technologies

I have a partner who routinely ignores emails or responds to them several weeks later. He has to approve every single document sent to the client or the court, which means you have a physically go to his office to ask him to review something.
