Same with discord. Sitting next to @pixiecatsupreme.com, together in a call, I have my mic muted bc otherwise we'd get horrible feedback. Sharing her mic but we each have our own headphones on our own machines.

Oh god, I had to use Teams to dial into a partner meeting the other day, and Chime for another one a week or so back. What is with these overly-corporate VC platforms? Please allow the UX designers to do their jobs for once...

Makes me glad my laptop has a hotkey to mute the built-in mic - that way Teams (which I have to use for work, sadly) gets absolute silence and no chance to show this abomination...

"are you trying to say something?"
No, just coughed/sneezed/insert random sound

Thank God computers don’t have noses. Imagine Teams asking who farted.

Don't give them ideas. 🫣

"what is your 2FA?"
"fart toxicity"

So I need to eat taco bell to unlock my work laptop? 😦

Or in my case, the person speaking in sitting in the next cubicle over, and teams thinks it's me.

Focus time reminders... The only way to focus with Windows 11 is to turn it off.

I'm on Linux and using a browser version of Teams.

😄 This mother funker gives me a micro heart attack every now and then
Love the correction🤓

I've had windows for the last time. I grew up with it and was faithful in my love for it.

I got windows 11.

Next computer will be linux. I want control over my computer, and who gets access, and what shows up. I shouldn't have to risk bricking my laptop to uninstall bloatware. Ugh.

ryanthedemiboy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Anyway, good luck with your meetings!

olafurw.com•90 days ago

I'm on linux and I use the web version for company meetings. So there's no escape.

ryanthedemiboy.bsky.social•90 days ago

Oh no, gross. You're supposed to be free!

I am far more pissed off at the “something is requesting your location” icon, the way it shifts the whole taskbar

rajacexplains.bsky.social•90 days ago

It is the dumbest notification and it drives me round the bend.

I get it, Teams. I'm making noise and the mic is muted. That was intentional! That's the point of mute! Not all noise is speech! ARGGHHHGHFJDJDJFJ

The worst part is that at work almost everytime there is someone « sorry, forgot to unmute myself » proof that’s useless.

rajacexplains.bsky.social•90 days ago

Plus, we have an established process for dealing with this.
