I cannot believe they did this shit.
Every time I look at the teams icon with the word new on it, my brain thinks that means there are messages.
Also the “we’re setting things up for you” or whatever user-dumb-hide-details crap the Teams PWA throws on your screen while launching is just… As if there was a live team of engineers carefully configuring your current Teams instance so that it starts up right. (A bit off-topic, but current trend of software “speaking to users in patronising manner” is annoying af. Unless it’s up to or exceeding HAL-3000 level, it should be abolished.)
We had the teams update at work, with the endless notifications to let me know that a new version was coming, would I like to update early, on the 1st the update will be forced …
And the new Teams is not simply a replacement, no. It’s called “Teams (for work or school)” or something, while the old app is “Teams classic”. Both look the same and are the same sluggish mess. So why exactly did we do all that crap?
All I know is that one of them has a /v2/ subpath on its URL, and the other has nothing.
Oh, and calls work in Firefox one the /v2/ one. That’s an important difference.
What I really don’t know is why they kept pestering me for months to make sure my browser supports the new version (where they know what my browser is, and only published enough requirements to tell IE won’t work) while they only changed stuff that makes it work better on it.
