Microsoft: Cloud services demand up, prioritization rules in place

I still absolutely loathe teams. There is no way to get it to show you have unread messages (the red dot of slack). Notifications do not work reliably. When I am in a Teams channel I miss notifications from the Chat channels, and vice versa.

For me Teams has been a major downgrade from Slack

You totally get a dot (or a @) in either teams or chat to tell you have something unread.

Unread teams groups are bold and same with chats that have new messages.

Calls likewise get a dot and so on.

My biggest gripe is people keep creating new "posts" thinking they're simply typing in to a normal chat window. The posts are replies to other posts, but then when you go back to that screen (team?) they're in a completely random order.

They should add a speed bump to post a new topic in a team, like the new chat button in the chats.

The best was IRC and mumble. It's been downhill since then.

I like IRC and use it. I have zero understanding why anyone on HN thinks IRC is a viable chat option outside uber-nerds.

Show me a training plan (outline is fine), case study or blog or anything outlining how to train my 50 non-technical coworkers in the use of IRC. They need image support and audio chat and all the other modern chat features users demand. Keep in mind there are a lot of chat options and users will walk if what you want to use is rejected by them.

IRC is not and has not been a even remotely viable option for anyone but nerds and hobbyists for many years now. i would be very happy to see any evidence to the contrary.

I mean, Discord is basically re-skinned IRC, and tons of "normal" people who have never heard of IRC use it every day.

I get a count of the messages I missed in a channel and when I’m called out I see an @

I get all the activity I should be alerted to in my alerts button too so document conversation, hidden teams, etc all show up there too.

At my current client we use teams for meetings/conf calls. All chat communication is still slack.

That doesn’t even make sense
