In the past, I've used Matrix/element, and I can't say how many times better it worked. About 1.5 years ago, we decided migrate to MS 365 and I find it a pita.
Does anybody have a clue about the status of Teams<->Matrix integration? I remember, there were numerous attempts to do this using a bridge/puppet, but at least AFAIK that didn't work too well.
What is the status of this? Any insights appreciated 😎
How is #MicrosoftTeams such a poor experience. I do a "Meet now" and it puts me, as the organiser, into the pre-meeting-experience or something.. and no ability to "start" the meeting. People joining just get told the meeting has not started.
Then the other person did the same thing.. and got the same problem! We were entirely unsuccessful in starting a meeting,.
We resorted to #Zoom instead.
EDIT: fixed (for now) - thanks to everyone for all the help!
I guess I'll put this out there since now I've met @guffo who's having the same issue.
My work laptop is Windows 10 and after Leap Day this year, my Teams shows meetings a day ahead for some reason on the calendar, but with the correct date on the meeting itself. Nearly missed a meeting Monday, but luckily since the day itself is correct on the meeting, it notified me and I noticed it. All the meetings still just show on the wrong day - a full day ahead.
Tried restarting Teams, the whole machine, nothing. Can find NOTHING about it online anywhere. Any ideas to fix are welcome, or anyone else dealing with this, or anyone else who wants to talk about how shitty Teams is. 😂
Update for the day-switching in Teams after Leap Day -- I'm seeing more reports of this online now, and for me, the issue appears to only be for the 'Week' view in Teams. The 'Day' and 'Work Week' views have the days correct. So I switched to 'Work Week' and I'm good now, I think?
I'd say it is astonishing that #MicrosoftTeams via @pidgin is more stable than via their own web interface. But yeah … it probably isn't. It is Microsoft, doing web. Microsoft is probably the worst Software company out there. In future, I'll refuse to work for customers using Microsoft Software …

I frequently write a message in teams, paste a link or two, hit send, and the message that pops up is only the first word or two of my message. If I wait a second or so before sending, this doesn't happen.
I assume it's an issue with the links being checked by some system, but I find it absurd it would silently send the wrong message, rather than just queuing.
Do you want to integrate #MicrosoftTeams with #HomeAssistant to control your smart devices based on your presence status? In this blog post, I will show you how to use PresenceLights Custom API to achieve this. You will learn how to configure PresenceLights Custom API and how to configure Home Assistant to change the color of your smart lights according to your Teams status.

Current level of hell: copy/pasting all links from Microsoft Teams into Firefox because even though FF is my default browser, all teams links end up in Edge, with an embedded Microsoft Teams split view.
As Microsoft doesn't have any of my credentials, every link is a 404, 500, or some form of "Restricted Space".
My last job used #GoogleMeet and #Zoom. I wouldn't wish those on anyone either.
Wish my undergraduate studies in #UX and #database design had better prepared me to create a world-conquering team #messaging solution that would put #BigTech out to pasture, but no one was handing out giant bags of money when I earned my diploma. #capitalism
Again, Slack (owned by Salesforce) is changing its look and feel. But this time users aren't allowed to stick with what's familiar and works just fine.
Software companies do this routinely.
It's as if the furniture dealer had the right to come into your home and rearrange everything -- but you weren't allowed to put things back where you liked them.
It's simple corporate arrogance, and the software business is absolutely brimming with it.
