Its Teams--the meeting was a mess the minute it was scheduled using Teams
It seems to be bad wether or not its on Windows or Mac (I used to think it was just bad on Mac but I have had that assumption proven wrong multiple times now).
The number of times I have coworkers whose cameras just don't work.
My current fun 2 issues, I no longer get any alerts so I am stuck keeping my work phone next to me for teams alerts and my microphone has a weird popping or static to it (I can't reproduce this with any other app).
It feels like almost every meeting someone will end up uttering the words "damnit teams" or some variation when something just doesn't work as it should.
Slack may have had some problems but I really miss using it.
It’s maddening.
Of course in Google docs and sheets many can edit at the same time and create a mess. But it's not really integrated to an online meeting.
The few times I have used Microsoft Meet I found it harder to navigate. Whether that's a real problem or just not what I am used to I don't know.
I never got why many people hate on Google Meet.
It’s one of the few that don’t push a download to join a meeting, everything is lightweight and sandboxed in the browser.
But as a team (if you have a meeting with a team) there's agreements you can make, like how only one person can speak at a time (use an accessory like a ball to indicate who can speak right now). This will make the meeting more egalitarian, since in a lot of meetings (usually involving men), it's a lot of people interrupting and talking over each other so that the less forward participants are effectively pushed out of the meeting.
There's also a lot of cases where a meeting goes from reviewing workflow or implementation details and someone ends up railroading the meeting into bikeshedding the sidebar color.
I'm not putting on a cape for Teams, it's just the best entree in the buffet line to me right now. I do hate that they removed the ability for any meeting attendee to go add notes to the meeting in advance though.
