Outraged, I tell you! Well..not that outraged. Who gives a fuck, lol?-
Enterprise customers and school districts. However, I couldn't care less as an administrator. The less it does, the happier I am. That mean less issues for me to troubleshoot.
-
The only difficult part here is explaining to the users their favorite feature is now a business expense that needs to be justified.
-

-
It's quite the substandard piece of software! I find it hilarious that anyone would refer to any aspect of it as "premium".
-
Teams is a serious piece of shit. Cut and paste doesn't even work.
-
... anymore...
It seems like the developers are given a list of working features to break...
-
There was a time when it worked properly, ie copied what you highlighted, not the entire fucking comment the thing you highlighted was a part of?
-
-
That's a special feature coming in the next release cycle!

-
It would quite a bit of enhancement to elevate Teams to the status of "piece of shit"
-
Funny you should say that! Based on my wife's work experiences with Teams I've recently taken to referring to anything that's audaciously and unapologetically crappy as "a Teamsing pile of shit".

moving features that were once free to a paid product has never pissed off a single customer. ugh.
rather than demonstrate how badly planned the Teams rollout was, perhaps Microsoft could have come up with new features that people want to pay for. but what do i know?

Not this! Not the beloved organizational analytics feature!

pay more and get less (welcome to the cloud) FIFY
-
The vast corporation I work for has decided on a strategy of "everything in the cloud" and OneDrive is a key piece of that.
These types of features are what we get for free, due to our size but I'm guessing once Microsoft have all our user data we'll have to start paying.I would be upset about it if my boss could get me to care, but he can't.

Subscribe to "your" computer for only $20/mo!?!! What a steal!
-
-
And bait and switch. It has been all but impossible to know exactly what you getting when you buy a MS license. That is why I always bought the most complete version possible on the grey market.
-
"grey market"... LOL Ahoy Matey!

-
They're putting live captions, an accessibility aid for those with hearing issues, as a premium feature?!
Argh. They better not!
-
I'll always argue the merits of communication via written word. Often it wins for those using Braille readers and those who have hearing difficulties.
On the bright side, there's now a perfect excuse for not paying attention to a virtual meeting.
-
TFS says live *translated* captions. I think that's a feature that really deserves a premium for a niche case.
-
Ya, it's one of only two features (the other is built-in recording) that Teams has that makes it useful for delivering classes: I can record the lectures with live transcription, and the students who have trouble parsing what is said in the lecture can read the subtitles...and it's a feature that actually works well (unlike almost everything else about the disaster that is Teams).
Oh well, the whole point is to get schools and businesses to pay for the premium version: I predict most schools will pay for the

Jitsi is pretty cool and can be self hosted. Works well with firefox too.
-
Did they finally fix the Firefox issues where the first person to join using Firefox caused the Jitsi server to become overburdened because the WebRTC implementation in Firefox was implemented badly? Last time I used Jitsi was back in late 2020 with the pandemic going on. Jitsi said that it wasn't their problem and Mozilla also seemed to indicate that it wasn't their problem either. With both sides saying it wasn't their problem, Jitsi users were basically hosed.
-
Well I've not seen that personally. Maybe fixed now?
