- 100% with you. I literally shot myself in the foot with not knowing the difference between Bookings/My Bookings and Virtual Appointments. An executive for one the largest asset managers in the world unexpectedly replied to a linkedin invite I sent to him. he said he would give me 30 minutes of his time. I wanted to impress with a private booking page for him and the invitation link looked like it was fortran code. His reply "Frankly you’re spreading your pain to me - I took the time to share my availability, that’s the max I’m willing to do here. Good luck" I learned a valuable lesson. I am not using ANY of the new features on 365 externally until I go thru all of the manuals from the help pages. I saving the pages and downloading the pdfs. Why download? The hyperlink hell of the online manuals are endless. I will say this........Teams is getting better each day. Testing some of the features yesterday really impressed me. The avatar feature is a must have. I thought it was cheesy at the announcement but it is really good. If you have the time to setup Loop then DO IT! Holy Smokes is it good.
- Teams really needs Webex's custom URL private meeting room feature. Rather than having to set up a meeting, you have a static custom URL (e.g. contoso.webex.com/FirstName_LastName) you share with folks. When they join via the URL, you get a notification (or email) that they've joined and are waiting for you. That said, Teams' integration with Outlook is much better than Webex's (for obvious reasons).
- More specific examples may be helpful. I moved to Microsoft 365 Enterprise Teams last year after using Enterprise Webex for years. The adjustment was jarring at 1st, but I'm used to it now. Teams chat is far better than Webex but I still believe Webex has a better videoconferencing product.
It's not possible to present a set of videos and present them in order. It's not possible to share a video in Teams (with MS Stream backend) and have a description and thumbnail appear, this is broken because MS engineers failed to include a couple HTML meta tags -- this is basic HTML development. It's not possible to present information in a Team in Teams and not have the content obfuscated in multiple ways -- you can't control the post order (in fact it's actually upside down), all the comments crop the comments so it's only possible to write no more than 3 lines of content before it gets hidden, and each comment below has to manually opened one by one. They got rid of Wiki with only one month notice forcing us to scramble, and worse, they provided no comparable solution or a dysfunctional way to port over thje content to OneNote but failed to move any content structure with it. On Mac OS they bungled the focus in Febraury and they've never fixed it so double-click / single click etc all behave erratically, and it's never been possible to click on the Teams item in the dock and have the app appear (they clearly tried to overwrite native Mac UI and broke their own software.) The focus bug also makes dragging an image into teams to share a very difficult and frustrating experience -- takes about 5 tries. Uploading a video is slow and it's not possible to click send and have the message send when the video is uploaded -- you just have to sit and wait (and often I just forget to send). This is just a few random specific examples. Of course WebEx is bad, but most tools are way better than teams. Basically it's clear the product hasn't been designed and the piecemeal development cycle has left the tool so fragmented in functionality I believe the only solution is to scrap it and start with a fully redesigned solution.
- I'm on Teams v1.6.00.11166 (64-bit) & Wiki still shows for me. Are you using Teams on macOS primarily?
