There's a noticeable reaction time between clicking on a person's image in the left bar and the screen being updated. Even when going back and forth between two contacts, even with 64 GB of RAM, so you'd think they'd cache it somehow.
Sometimes when scrolling up in the chat, it goes back down then continues scrolling up (even when the contact is offline, so nothing changes the history).
Even the buttons on the left side (activity / chat / teams / etc) lag when the mouse just passes on top of them.
Also for some reason there are regular CPU spikes (on the order of 20% of an 8th gen desktop i5) even when I'm not actively using it.
I find it so stupid that this same computer can run fairly new games at 4K resolution with all settings at the max and nearly 60 FPS, but it somehow struggles to update a chat application.
The search result will only show you the single message it matched but not all the other messages around it! The only option is literally scrolling up but the performance just degrades as you go further back.
Like I can tolerate a lot but damn. That always frustrates me to no end.
Starting a new chat with someone in your organisation that you haven't chatted to is also annoyingly slow. This one I keep forgetting. So I search their name in the search bar, choose the hit from the dropdown and immediately start typing, only to notice that my initials 10 keystrokes didn't register, because the new chat was still initialising.
I'm curious, do you touch type? I'm also at about 100wpm, but only thanks to learning to touch type.
Cons: slow, consumes lot of memory plus all of the above
Pros: not as buggy as Skype for Business
Of course given this binary choice I would prefer a stubbed toe, but can we just move to something that is actually pleasant? Thanks!
Given this bridge moving to element seems like a no-brainer for anyone on teams.
Which are both different than the formatting that the browser version of Teams shows.
Ich course, everything still sucks, yes.
In short, I would have loved to have the option of using Element to chat with my team instead of MS Teams. Thank you for making this!
