Microsoft has integrated Microsoft Teams with the Xbox Game Bar, allowing users to stream their gameplay in real-time to friends over Teams video calls. Up to 20 people can join a call to watch and chat together while gaming. The viewer can see both the game and overlaid video of friends. However, streaming performance is currently limited to 30fps or less, which is not ideal for viewing high-fidelity PC games. Viewers also cannot yet see overlaid video during gameplay. While this new feature aims to compete with Discord for social gaming, the integration still needs improvements to provide a comparable experience. Overall, Microsoft is trying to grow Teams communities and social features to rival other platforms like Discord.

I miss Slack. Fuck Teams, it’s so awful.

[–] Megaman_EXE@beehaw.org 10 points 1 year ago

Me too. Teams is the worst for finding old conversations. They might as well be gone after a couple days pass.

Not to mention lately teams will sometimes just not update with any notifications lately. So I'll go an hour with no messages or whatever and then suddenly teams decides to update informing me that I missed a call and a handful of messages.

Signing out and back in usually helps but man it feels like they took Skype and just Jerry rigged it

They’re both shit, mate! It just happens that Teams is cheaper, since it’s included in 0365.

At least Slack has a usable user interface... Teams is, well, I'd rather sit on a cactus. Let me phrase it like this: We have Office at work. We also have a Slack subscription, because Teams is just so much worse in comparison..

I don’t know, I had to use Slack because of a specific customer, and I can’t stand the UI of it.

The way it displays the reply’s… the confusing crap of the workspaces (which each one has it’s own account, and they are independent)… the (lack of?) inline images…

I don’t like those two, but I surely hate Slack!

I'm the opposite. I literally never hear the slack notifications, and half the time my Taskbar icon doesn't show I have new messages. My volume is at a reasonable level to hear everything else. I'm not the only one at my job who has the issue either.
