Can anyone honestly recommend Teams? Asking for a friend

LOL, not this guy. What's amazing is... how the heck did they screw this up? Like with Rocket and Mattermost both being older, open, and free and Teams just.... completely fails by comparison! How can they have so much money and be so completely bad at this?

It's seems that Teams is popular among Colleges or at least where I'm working at and where my wife works at.

Microsoft give stuff away / offer significant discounts, for Nonprofit and Academia. This trains generations of people (including IT folk) into thinking Microsoft is a "Standard" (as opposed to a "Product"). I'm in the predicament of having access to 365 licencing to cover my workplace, for next to $Zero, and it's the only external cloud based solution that offers data storage (at rest) on our soil (which is mandated by our upstream funding) for that $Zero figure.

Rocket and Mattermost both do that, too.

Looks like it's a bolt on.

I think part of that is that Microsoft installs this without asking on desktops. Then people see it and wonder what it is.

That works with anything, not just Teams. It just creates a default webcam.

I'll just persevere with trying to streamline / simplify Teams for the staff here... try to limit the ability to "Potato" anyone if I can find ways

Just read about Zoom's privacy issues, not good.

I've got a great YouTube link for MS Teams training for employees and/or yourself: https://youtu.be/HmzU21JbkjY. Very clear and straight forward training. YouTube link also provides timestamps links for specific training topics.

We are moving our organization wholesale to Teams. It has been reasonably easy to get people up to speed on it. There are some edge cases that take more digging, but overall it has been fairly easy to facilitate the transition. It helps that we're pretty deeply embedded in the Office 365 ecosystem.

OK - ran into this post while trying to get directions on making Teams skip the lobby for meetings.
https://www.magenium.com/Information/Articles/how-automatically-admit-attendees-microsoft-teamsseems like a bug, at least the post offers a work around.
*edit - tested this last night - and it does solve the problem. I did have to run it twice to hit all of my users oddly.
