TLDR: they’re both bad, but it might be interesting to know what each one does

    I had the displeasure of managing Teams for an IT client of mine, and to say it’s a clusterfuck is putting it charitably.

    It is almost impossible to change the user. A basic, rudimentary function that should be a simple matter of signing out and signing back in. Nope, doesn’t work. You have to reinstall Teams to get that working.

    Oh, and reinstalling is an ordeal itself. That usually doesn’t work, either. You have to manually delete the installation directory and app data cache, and for whatever dumbshit reason, it doesn’t install to program files, it installs to some obscure directory in the user profile.

    God help you if you rename a user. It retains the old user details until you sign out.

    Trying to share a link to join a team never works.

    These are just off the top of my head and I don’t want to continue because it’s stressing me out.

    Fuck Teams.

      As much as a lot of that hate it warranted, I’d say the install location isn’t so much a Teams issue as it is a Windows issue and how it handles user-level vs system-level installs. Obviously still a Microsoft problem, but important to note.

        You’d think Microsoft software would work optimally on a Microsoft operating system, but, quite often, it operates in the shittiest, kludgiest ways.
