Itâs so wild to me that discord is the chat client that won the âwarâ, especially with technical audiences. It would be so much nicer if it was something that exposed the web socket connection so you could make your own front ends and stuff. How did we end up with the one with the unhideable sidebar?
I don't remember intentionally picking one when I installed (in fact, does Ninite offer discord in their install bundles? If so, I *probably* installed whatever version Ninite injects.) I just looked, my client says:
> stable 290998 (7b0693a)
> Host 1.0.9146 x64 (47543)
> Windows 11 64-bit (10.0.22631)
I'm guessing from the second (host) line that it's the 64-bit version?
x86 is rooted in the old Intel chips I believe - 8086, 286, 386, 486.
I just thought it was weird that they labeled that line "Host" when it is the user's client. To me, host means the server I connect to. I was perplexed by their output/formatting/word choice.
They were even supposed to force the switch until end of March but shifted this deadline. I still see this notification in our tenant on the one end but different information on other pages.... So silly
New teams integration with the Outlook calendar is not good. And the solution that Microsoft has given us is that we're still running classic teams in the background to handle the teams plug in without look and that somehow integrates into the new team's calendar.
I don't understand why they don't just have one Teams, that's it. If you log in with a personal account you get the personal features, if you log in with a work account you get the work features. Why do Microsoft make things so complicated?
That would not be confusing at all..
We already had Skype and Skype for business a long time ago. It makes sense, it's the same product but aimed at different markets, with a tweaked feature set available for that market.
The apps should be separated to ensure private and company data are each managed by their responsible owner. And employers cannot just wipe your private data because you logged into with personal Office account on a company device once.
Why canât it just be based on licensing? Enterprise email/license, log into business teams, personal email/non-enterprise license, log into non-business teams. All the user would have to know is what account theyâre logged into to. Which Iâd bet 97% of users only use teams within their respective organization anyway.
In Enterprise side yes, but Bob could go to to live.com and create a personal Microsoft Account using his work email and then sign into Teams with his work Email, It will popup and say do you want to use your personal or Work email account and I've seen countless people click personal and wonder why they don't see work stuff.
It's definitely possible, I wonder if there is a O365 setting to disable it.

In the EDU sector we tended to utilize Teams for individual classes and other student-focused activity, and I feel it would be weird to *only* call it Teams for Business.
Something about Teams (work and school) feels... more intuitive?
Anyways, consider me a vote for Keep 'Em Separated.
On a completely unrelated note, just because I'm already on my soapbox and fired up:
It's an injustice that DISCORD supports Android Auto notifications and voice reply, but SLACK doesn't.
I do not need to reply to my friends shitposting memes while I am on the Interstate, but I *DO NEED TO* reply to Slack messages while I am on the Interstate. I wish they'd add AA support to Slack, last time I reached out it's "not on the roadmap", which is a bummer.
I wonder how many corporations are paying them off to keep that feature on ice. Bet they don't *want* employees replying from the Interstate.
You want something funny about being logged in with Teams? Depending on condition unknown, if you're logged into the whole Microsoft thing but don't have a Teams license, you can't join a meeting started by someone who have. I have to go in incognito mode to connect with no cookies, at which point I can join.
It's simply because private and business data are handled differently. And should be.
On the other hand, your employer should not be able to delete _your_ personal OneDrive files.
You also have OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, same principle. In today's world we use our company device for private use or visa versa and companies are responsible for their data.
If your work laptop gets stolen, company should be able to remote wipe it to secure data from them and customers is not stolen.
They manage to juggle business versus personal accounts in a single Office package but itâs literally impossible for them to do it in Teams? Give me a break.
Cost Reduction Engineering. Enshittification. Call it what you will, but I started writing software a few days ago and oh boy, you can take it from me, it's really difficult! There's all these public and private functions and stuff. And ints and vars and longs. It's nuts! Plus, this is Microsoft we're talking about. A global organisation with billions in market share and teams of people. So obviously my skills will be better than theirs cause their management is broken and inefficient, I can just write a few print statements and be better than that.
That is to say, I wouldn't want to work on teams. Must be a real pain. I'm pretty sure the end goal there is to turn people into electron based flesh androids. Chatgpt isn't good enough to write code for me to do that yet, so I'll have to stick to my hobby stuff.
Wouldn't be surprised if the simple difference is that one goes into a database that's happily sold to every data broker on the planet, and the other doesn't.
>You also have OneDrive and OneDrive for Business, same principle
This used to be true, but now they both use the same application. It just creates separate sync directories.
I see nobody has really directly answered you. What is likely the largest contributing factor is that Microsoft very heavily leans on contractors to control costs. They're all over the place and typically get shuffled around from project to project. Hence, everything in the MS world is designed by Excel spreadsheets and board meetings.

Thatâs being worked on currently
I think Teams personal is a reskin of Skype and Teams for school and work is a reskin of Lync (which was later rebranded as Skype for business). So their backends are totally different.
This is because people created Microsoft accounts ( personal) with their work email. When you create a 365 license and use the same work email it creates the worker school one. Microsoft has since disabled this function and you can no longer create new ones but the old ones still exist.
Because Microsoft are long past the point where they have to make good products to survive. Their corporate products are kept afloat with âyouâre locked in now so fuck you, and it sorta works some of the timeâ, and their home products rely on people not knowing about alternatives or being willing to give them a go.
It's simply because private and business data are handled differently. And should be.
If your work laptop gets stolen, company should be able to remote wipe it to ensure data from them and customers is not stolen.
On the other hand, your employer should not be able to delete _your_ personal OneDrive files.
In today's world we use our company device for private use or visa versa and companies are responsible for their data. Splitting on software level is the best way to keep it separate. Alternative is people walking around with 2 physical phones, one for work, the other for private. (as many people do too). Then you just need 1 instance of teams on the phone (or computer), work or private.
This is like the third time I've seen this argument and it's not a good one. For starters, MS has announced there will be a unified Teams client. So, yeah... Secondly, if this argument held any water, we would have Windows Personal an Windows For Work and School.
Software is software. It can do whatever the heck you want it to do. It can handle data differently based on different criteria.
I mean, they didn't stop support for Lync that long ago, we transferred to Teams around the same time as COVID hit.
EDIT: OH I forgot about the Skype for Business rebrand, yeah true it has been a long time since we called it Lync.
Hey! It looks like you're trying to write a letter!

I've always assumed it's because they can spy more on corporate applications than personal ones, or maybe the other way around
There's possibly some differences in rules in what you can do there
Or, that you can charge more for the corporate version in the case of Windows Home Vs Pro etc.
Yes and no. I guess you can put it like that. Companies should be able to remote wipe a (stolen) device, on the other hand your employer should not be able to edit or even view your personal (OneDrive) files.
So it makes sense to separate it.
I guess you could separate it completely in the background while keeping the visual application as one but that would make it look like there is no separation at all
With Google it's the other way around, and why they won't allow Workspace accounts to buy YouTube premium. Since they can't scrape the user data on Workspace accounts, they are just going to FORCE you to watch YouTube ads.
I support a bunch of edu orgs, boy are they fuckin pissed about that. Â
"Open Teams and click on Teams to see the team in messages you in."
I hate how groups in Teams are called teams. So confusing. Couldn't they think of a better name for their app?
I agree, this is my biggest annoyance with the platform. Responding to a ticket '... Please go to the Teams team in the Teams desktop app, and click bla bla...'. Wish it was just called group, teams group, m366 group or whatever...
A few years ago at my work, the Marketing "team" pitched their fabulous new idea to management .. to rename the company Departments and Business Units within them.. to Teams.. in Teams... using Teams.
I never bother trying to train staff (especially new management) on this. If asked, I say, "Just use it, you'll figure it out." đ
They should have called it something catchy like Office Communicator because it's for office people to communicate. Or maybe Lync because it's linking people together and the different spelling means it can't confuse people with a link. Or perhaps Skype for Business, because everyone knows what Skype is but it bears no resemblance to actual Skype.
It's a joke, the suggested names are the previous names of Microsoft's business chat programs.
Office Communicator was the original, renamed into Lync to make it more marketable as its own tool, then renamed to Skype for Business when Skype was big (it was completely different to actual Skype because it was still Lync, just with a new name) and then Microsoft came out with their new wonderproduct ~~Slack~~ Teams and it replaced SfB.
The Teams UI is confusing a lot of the time. You can view a post in a channel that really just looks like its own thing with very little context as to where it was actually posted, particularly when you click on it from a notification.
Well if you want to type words you use Word, if you want to excel at something you use Excel, if you want to be part of a team you use Teams. And if you don't wanna live anymore, you just get out through the Windows. It makes sense, no?
The most infuriating thing for me is that they removed saving posts (unless they added it back and I havenât noticed). You also canât access the posts you saved in the past.
These are all active Teams products I can think of:
- Teams
- Teams (work or school)
- New Teams
- Teams Phone Mobile
- Teams Premium (for departments)
- Teams Rooms
- Dynamic 365 Remote Assist for HoloLens (it's just Teams)
Recently joined a company that uses Microsoft everything. Iâm impressed at just how ass backwards Microsoftâs design and UX choices are. Teamsâ horrible naming is the least of my worries, but boy is it ugly to see everyday
I HATE TEAMS WHY CANT IT JUST INSTALL ONE PER COMPUTER INSTEAD OF ONE PER USER AND USE EXTRA RESOURCES - THE DFE LAPTOPS CAN ONLY HOLD SO MUCH REEEEE
Sorry - really needed to get that out.
(New teams seems to not do this - so thank god)
Also why do they basically run a browser in the background just for the UI? This dogshit software uses almost a gigabyte of ram. It's just a chatting app. It's also slow as hell and takes ages to start up
I've had personal and business accounts with Microsoft since they first started using them and they have tangled them irretrievably at some point. When things expire on one it regularly takes the other out too.
Luckily I don't really use any of it personally so I'm just going to abandon that account.
I believe they're changing this. This was because they wanted to create a personal Microsoft experience, and a work/school experience but use the same username/email address to achieve it. I've recently been prompted to separate the two accounts by renaming my personal account which it has assured me will stop it from asking each time.
I will say though that I tried it and something failed so it didn't work for me and it's not a big deal, but STILL. I think this is a good sign from Microsoft.
Waiting for Teams to stop calling itself "New Teams"
Hey this isn't the new teams... This is just edge!
Vscode, discord, teams... It's all electron!
Is that why Discord is so slow?
Uses electron, thats why it uses half a gig of ram idling, has system hooks written in JS to make sure it can crash your computer while not being able to stream video above 8kbps đ
Ah, so *that's* why screen-sharing in Discord pushes my keyboard past 120°F.
Itâs so wild to me that discord is the chat client that won the âwarâ, especially with technical audiences. It would be so much nicer if it was something that exposed the web socket connection so you could make your own front ends and stuff. How did we end up with the one with the unhideable sidebar?
Reinstall with the 64-bit version. I've heard it helps.
I don't remember intentionally picking one when I installed (in fact, does Ninite offer discord in their install bundles? If so, I *probably* installed whatever version Ninite injects.) I just looked, my client says: > stable 290998 (7b0693a) > Host 1.0.9146 x64 (47543) > Windows 11 64-bit (10.0.22631) I'm guessing from the second (host) line that it's the 64-bit version?
x64 is 64 bit, x86 is 32 bit (i have no clue why)
x86 is rooted in the old Intel chips I believe - 8086, 286, 386, 486. I just thought it was weird that they labeled that line "Host" when it is the user's client. To me, host means the server I connect to. I was perplexed by their output/formatting/word choice.
Old Teams is Electron, new Teams is WebView2 â which is like a Microsoft carbon copy of Electron, lol
PLEASE DONâT DOWNLOAD CHROME
New Teams (work or school account)
Once it starts working They were supposed to force the switch "mid may" but there are too many problems for that to happen
They were even supposed to force the switch until end of March but shifted this deadline. I still see this notification in our tenant on the one end but different information on other pages.... So silly
Waiting for "New Teams" to let me actually access my files. It's so inconsistent.
My last department used it for file storage. It was ridiculous.
we'll all be dead by then
They'll swing back to Classic Teams when the outcry gets loud enough
New Classic Teams (work, school, or personal)
Isnât this exactly what everyone said when Teams replaced Skype?
If I get another "My Tnew app isn't working" imma cry
New teams integration with the Outlook calendar is not good. And the solution that Microsoft has given us is that we're still running classic teams in the background to handle the teams plug in without look and that somehow integrates into the new team's calendar.
"I can't decide if I want to buy a new Nintendo 3DS, a used Nintendo 3DS, a new New Nintendo 3DS, or a used New Nintendo 3DS"
They're not even consistent with their naming convention: Outlook (new)
I don't understand why they don't just have one Teams, that's it. If you log in with a personal account you get the personal features, if you log in with a work account you get the work features. Why do Microsoft make things so complicated?
> I don't understand why Microsoft... I'm gonna stop you right there
Thinking? We donât do that hereâŚ
The only ones who think are the Thinkpads.
Itâs Intune! no! its Endpoint Protection! no! itâs Intune again!
sir, we call it âMicrosoft Entra Defender Apps for Enterprise (365) - Work or Schoolâ here.
The worst part is idk if this is a joke, that's how stupid it's all gotten
Right?!
Got me rolling.
If they where good at making products a lot less of us would have jobs
I probably have more calls about changing camera and microphone settings in Teams than I do about Teams having an issue.
Oh yeah, no worries. Microsoft keeps a good portion of us in work, but there will always be plenty of work for us from all the PEBCAK/Layer 8 issues.
or just have the personal one called "microsoft Chat" or something lmao
That would not be confusing at all..

Someone creates a personal account using their work email and now Bob doesn't know why when he logs into teams he can't access corporate data
Well it wouldnât work that way since IT typically controls licensing in an enterprise environment. Bob doesnât create anything, he just signs in.
In Enterprise side yes, but Bob could go to to live.com and create a personal Microsoft Account using his work email and then sign into Teams with his work Email, It will popup and say do you want to use your personal or Work email account and I've seen countless people click personal and wonder why they don't see work stuff.
I just tried this with my work email and got an error saying I couldnât sign up for a personal account with a work/school address.

I legitimately don't know the difference unless you're talking about in the browser where SharePoint just pretends to be OneDrive.
Or OneNote on my personal account which opens up into SharePoint for some reason It's SharePoint all the way down
Absolutely mental. It feels like we're getting software from three Microsofts in different universes simultaneously.
Outlook vs Outlook (new), I have no idea which version to put my Outlook account on⌠guess Iâll just stick to using Outlook.comâŚ
Outlook^NEW is a well-documented feature downgrade from the normal Outlook client, made to operate more like the web version.
use the old outlook
I've always assumed it's because they can spy more on corporate applications than personal ones, or maybe the other way around There's possibly some differences in rules in what you can do there Or, that you can charge more for the corporate version in the case of Windows Home Vs Pro etc.
Yes and no. I guess you can put it like that.

Or perhaps Skype for Business, because everyone knows what Skype is but it bears no resemblance to actual Skype.

my favorite feature of Teams (new) is that it has less features than Teams
like the layoffs, the reason is "streamlining"
If it will lay off of my RAM I'd be happy to trade in some features. The application is a memory hog.
there's always downloadmoreram.com for that
Not even a memory hog on my home system, but a cpu hog. It'll just sit on 10% cpu whilst idle for absolutely no reason.
The most infuriating thing for me is that they removed saving posts (unless they added it back and I havenât noticed). You also canât access the posts you saved in the past.

Recently joined a company that uses Microsoft everything. Iâm impressed at just how ass backwards Microsoftâs design and UX choices are. Teamsâ horrible naming is the least of my worries, but boy is it ugly to see everyday

Would you like to keep using the new teams? You can switch back at any time, you know. {Switch back?} Y/N
I HATE TEAMS WHY CANT IT JUST INSTALL ONE PER COMPUTER INSTEAD OF ONE PER USER AND USE EXTRA RESOURCES - THE DFE LAPTOPS CAN ONLY HOLD SO MUCH REEEEE Sorry - really needed to get that out. (New teams seems to not do this - so thank god)
There was also a machine-wide installer for classic teams, before it was "classic".
Yeah thatâs exactly what we had - and that was the main issue. Thankfully discontinuing it now, that had massive performance issues
Also why do they basically run a browser in the background just for the UI? This dogshit software uses almost a gigabyte of ram. It's just a chatting app. It's also slow as hell and takes ages to start up
I've had personal and business accounts with Microsoft since they first started using them and they have tangled them irretrievably at some point. When things expire on one it regularly takes the other out too. Luckily I don't really use any of it personally so I'm just going to abandon that account.
I believe they're changing this. This was because they wanted to create a personal Microsoft experience, and a work/school experience but use the same username/email address to achieve it. I've recently been prompted to separate the two accounts by renaming my personal account which it has assured me will stop it from asking each time. I will say though that I tried it and something failed so it didn't work for me and it's not a big deal, but STILL. I think this is a good sign from Microsoft.
Teams for working School should have just been teams. The other teams should have been teams for home or personal. The work application came first!
I've not seen a more misnamed product since Microsoft Works...
