I'm curious if you plan to hire a design team so Teams isn't confusing and a serious communication problem? I just don't understand why it's not possible to organize anything and why content is obfuscated so easily. Clearly if it were designed first, then engineered, it would be a better platform than engineers just shooting from the hip with bizarre and unresearched assumptions of how the product might get used.
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).
