    Whats Wrong With Microsoft Teams

*(not in any order, and i know few of these have been fixed, like having conference in separate window)
**These are mostly from Classic version, will collect New Teams specific in the gist below
Chat


If you typed message in some chat, then alt tab and go to another chat, that message is still in the chatbox (wrong room)
if there is many single messages, with link on each, tooltip emoji menu popups and blocks your view to previews item (and you can accidentally click it if tried to click the previous link)
if paste image to messagebox, messagebox stays very small 2 rows.. so cannot see anything (or wait, it expands after you alt tab away..)
channel mention doesnt show alerts for people by default
replies minimize automatically if leave chat open for a while (so context is lost where you left it)
if you write multiline message, clicking the send (paperplane) button below doesnt send message
if you add people to new chat, and prepare message to be send, and then go to another chat to copy something, the whole "draft" chat disappears!

Calls / Conferences


Now changed layout in the participants list, can only see people in or people out
Uploading file in another chat, while you have join window open, closes the the join window?
Conference timer text width changes, moving the buttons around by few pixels
If more than 10 participants, can only see 10 names in that list (even though rest of the panel has empty space!)
its not clear that who is talking, especially during screenshare (no proper highlights)
Request permissions button appears suddenly there, when you tried to click participants list (and you cannot cancel the request!)
If someone calls into wrong group, everyone from that group will then later rejoin the call and pull other people in from the correct teams conference..
You need to click those grayed out buttons on left, to access rest of the teams during meetings
You lose all track of current place that you were, when entering conference (since video steams the focus and forces you into that chat, video should popout as separate instance, so you can work on teams normally)

Files in Teams tabs


Cannot see where its downloading the file
Cannot cancel download
Cannot see if you have already downloaded this file (and clicking download automatically downloads with new name)
Cannot right click to "open local file/folder"
Double clicking does nothing (well some weird menu changes appear, but not clear whats the point)
Open button is actually dropdown menu, shows single item "open online" (eventhough i have downloaded it)
Weird [x] button in the menubar, when file is selected.. seems to mean "deselect"?
Strange "This page uses cookies.." - notification banner
Cannot go to next/prev image if there are many images in files tab
Cannot open full screen view of document?
if you upload 2 files, 2nd file then shows 0 bytes after completion (and refreshing doesnt help, download works)
no preview or thumbnail view, with folder full of images in files tab
clicking downloaded notification takes you to the folder, but doesnt select the file
viewing power point file, cannot press Page down to go next page
cannot drag and drop files into files tab header, or inside the tab either
no download button, have to press that ... dropdown
copy link context menu doesnt copy the link, but opens dialog where you can copy it
if you lose network connection during upload, upload actually continues(?) after reconnetion, but you dont know, and then you upload new file, but in the end it asks file already exists, and starts overwriting previous upload
if you start upload 1 file first, then upload 3 more, it shows uploading 3 files (should be 4)
cannot drag and drop files inside the files view
files are not sorted by date as default, also it doesnt save your selected sorting, so need to click sort by date again
no file sizes visible!

General


after windows password change, teams application login page is broken (with broken swedish letters too)
Cannot see your activity past 1 month (and cannot search it either)
cannot keep one chat "always active", like slack/discord
Asking me to login, but yesterday was autologged still..
Today its asking again to link teams to office, i dont want
Meetings in separate windows? dialog again, i answered it last time already
joining a meeting from Outlook, it opens browser first for the join link, and sometimes browser is slow or needs updates.. why not just directly call Teams on local machine?
downloading teams .msix requires you to first manually download "app installer" from ms store!

File attachment in chat


Says 404 not found, but same file in Files-tab works fine..
cannot delete file sent into chat (other than by deleting the message)
If you go to chat from alerts, then view file, and close the file, you are teleported back to first alert chat (not the same you viewed file from)
really slow opening of files, with no progress bar to say that something is loading
txt file in chat doesnt open, only worked once, after that need to use open online (regular viewer shows blank)
files are removed after few months???
after upload, you get random notification, "you have shared..." (and clicking it takes you to wrong chat, not where you shared the file)
when downloaded file from chat, chat message popup covered the downloaded file popup, so you cannot click it..need to go explorer to find it
cannot download all from one message, need to download one by one
if you start uploading file, then go to another chat and come back, you dont know if download is still going on
unfinished download disappears completely if you close teams and come back!!
Cannot create folders in Chat files tab! (so after few years, you'll be browsing thousands of files there..)
DWG viewer is a joke (you get some pixelated thumbnail image only) and download button for it is hidden under ...

Image attachments in Chat


Cannot copy image! (there is "copy image" in right click, but it doesnt copy it (at least not in any usable format for Word, Paint, Photoshop..)
There is Download icon in top right, but nothing happens when you click on that "1 file downloaded"

So you have to manually browse into downloads folder, and original image name is lost and you end up with hundreds of  "MicrosoftTeams-image (1).png" images


Cannot see images in chat after reboot!
image shows error thumbnail for a long time, then later appears (when come back to chat)
clicking image opens faded out panel, but no image (and no indicators of what happening, is it loading or what?)
if image is png with white image part, you cannot see anything (since image background is white), same if click those images
replying to message with more than 10 images, your reply disappears until you go to different chat and come back
all downloads are named with MicrosoftTeams-image.png (so data is lost if user wants to transfer specific filename)
cannot view next image with arrow keys or mouse (have to close current one, click next image)

Planner


Sometimes loading planner tab is slow, all names assigned are shown as "Former member" (until they are loaded)

Video Player


stuck buffering on first try
avi files not supported, with mysterious error message: xxxxxxx-ed67-4f73-xxxx-551ddc7aba77.xxxxxxx-23c0-4f2e-81a9-xxxxxxx

Activity feed


cannot search the feed
really messy to read that feed, lots of similar text (due to long titles), hard to see what was the actual mention
cannot filter my own activity (where i posted that thing last week?)
what did i do last week
where are list of all open tasks assigned to me or that im part of?

Teams


clicking teams title in main window doesnt scroll to it in teams list panel
dragging team titles make strange jumps, not sure what happened, did the teams move or not?
cannot star/favourite multiple items at one go from "more channels..", have to do that manually for each item one by one
cannot use keyboard to scroll teams (have to press enter for each item and then focus moves away from the list)
cannot search teams list
No indicators if non-favorited topics have new messages or not

Gifs in chat


Dropping gif file doesnt show preview in the compose panel (so you dont know if its correct file, have to go watch it in file explorer manually)
playing gif doesnt show that its loading, just pause button is shows
gif doesnt loop automatically
When componsing message with gif attachment, clicking the gif doesnt open it

General


Everyday you get "Stay connected with out mobile app" banner advertising, and after closing it, another tooltip banner appears for "download the teams mobile app here"
top right, the "private" text looks like button (rounded edges, gray background), text is selectable too.. but does nothing
Cannot do ctrl+F to find in current view (or area), like activity list
"See more" is not smart, sometimes hides only 1-2 lines (which should be rather showed then)

Tasks Due - Email Notifications


Links open in browser, not in desktop teams
Email is stuffed with advertising spam: "Bing Maps - Get More Apps", "Get the Planner app for iPhone or Android"
Clicking on Bing maps dropdown, opens map for microsoft office location.. useless

Private chat tutorial video


clicking that "[play icon] private chat and calling" opens video player, but video doesnt autoplay (even though there was clearly play video icon in that link you clicked)

Help


Help system doesnt have free text search (to find help on some specific keyword)
Help, Troubleshooting list is not scrollable with middle mouse button, until you click another item in the list

Files


double clicking file doesnt do anything (oh i see, have to click exactly on the file name.. not the row, why)
right click has "copy" but its disabled, so whats the use?
clicking file opens strange small "open file messagebox", if you click another file, new popup opens each time
closing file preview goes back to the chat, instead of back to the files list (so if you were in some folder, need to go back)
no preview for powerpoint file (yet this is microsofts own product..)
viewing excel sheet in tab, sheet horizontal scroll is jumping around until scroll the page

Mentions


your name is shown as red color, which seems excessive (looks like its error or missing person or something else)

Adding file to chat message


if you click Attach/Upload from my computer, default folder is Teams installation folder (why not documents at least..)

Chat tab


your most recent chat is open by default, so you cannot open this tab during screen share or meetings, if you have private discussions there (no way to "close" chat, to show some empty default screen)
suddenly old chats are gone? i dont see any button to see old messages and contacts here.. Supposedly its archiving old chats (and hiding them), only way to get them back, is to find that person in some team, start sending new message to him, then your old chat history appears again.
Nothing listed in chat contacts list (yet i have lots of chats history with people)

Forms


Renaming forms tab show edit in the name field: "Edit | Your title here"
Rename dialog is not draggable/movable (cannot see the name that you wanted from behind it)
Theme colors are not matching with the selected theme button color (button is much darker, stronger)

Error messages


After changing windows password, "request is not properly formatted. the parameter "login_hint" is duplicated"
Cannot copy error message, copy context menu is grayed out

Bugs


CTRL+Z doesnt work anymore! (for example, if you paste link)
Teams is unable to stream desktop view at good frame rates (its like 320kbps 4fps)! what a joke
cannot send png today : o "failed to send" or stuck "sending" and then just disappears! (so you dont even know you had tried to send it and it failed!!!!)
Added new Word Online file to Files, wrote big list of things there, then suddenly the document reverted into initial version! No undo or redo available.
What does this mean? i did got one results though: "search is unable to to all results at this time. While we fix the issue, you'll receive limited results"
after a group call, this call chat doesnt appear on top (in the chats tab)
typing message, left/right arrow doesnt move cursor anymore!
pasting link to teams excel, it changes it into email text and link (previous rows?)
calender doesnt open from the open calender button (right side)

Powerpoint viewer


No download button top right corner, but other files have..
No close button, like other files have

Word viewer/editor


If you press enter on a line that has hyperlink, that link is opened (instead of newline gets inserted)
Cannot search in word viewer!!
Shift arrow left/right to extend selection doesnt work on first try, need to click document again?

One Note Tab


Doesnt keep your layout settings, if you resize the section/page panels, they reset back to default EVERYTIME
cannot lock the section/page tab to be visible always
triple click doesnt select whole line
copy paste list breaks list indents

Team Meetings


cannot view rest of the teams, since it locks your into meeeting view!
shows only 4 people in the list below screenshare
Person sharing his view, can see his whole chat list (with latest comments visible)
At the end of meeting, there is always that "how was audio quality rating"-screen, its useless
cannot cancel call if you call someone from meeting

General Missing Features


No "seen by" count on posts
Cannot print image from chat image viewer!
no easy file share functionality with expiration date (if just want to send file to someone, but dont need to keep it in teams forever polluting the files list)
cannot set max upload or download speed (as it still kills whole internet when upload)
cannot pause upload or download
no click counter on links
no download counter on files

UX FAILURES


meeting: "People" button moves around, soon after you join, so you tried to click it and then suddenly "Raise" button takes it places
Searching apps and then viewing the app info panel, back button clears search, close button completely closes app search
Selecting text to copy from chat, all the popups interfere with selection on first selection and you need to select again
After editing chat message, the Accept button is bottom right, but it also triggers those smily faces in next message
more actions menu item with arrow > in message top corner, one item appears on top of the menu root (strange)
windows taskbar icon shows persons name and green icon, but in the window itself the person icon is away
Cannot press backspace to go back folder in browsing files and folders in teams files tab
Application icon in taskbar shows greendot, and the username on which chat you are (but the person is offline, yet the green icon makes it looks like they are online)
zip viewer, no download button (but have conversation and close buttons), download is under ... dropdown menu (even though that is the most needed and used button)
zip viewer, after closing it, meet button is directly under close button, accidentally can click it easily
ctrl+shift+r (refresh page in Firefox) triggers reply message in the email..
when uploading file, you get notification: "you have shared 0...", only first letter is visible!
hard to find names in chat recent list, because name is not bolded (same color as message text)
cannot see how many people already in the meeting (shows it only if theres many?)
suddenly UI was completely changed in next app start (no notifications or options to revert)
cannot message to self (to share some data between computers or just keep quick note)
triple click selects username and date from message (cannot easily copy just the whole message)
searching for message only shows that single message, cannot jump into that day/thread.. (now has jump to message button, but still only shows that 1 message :D )
if you paste message on channel, then go to another chat and come back, that message has been switched to some article editing mode (and you cannot switch back to just posting regular message!), so it mean you need to open notepad to first copy paste your stuff, compose the full message in notepad, and then come back to post it as regular message
if you start writing message on channel, and go else where and come back, your cursor position is changed to start (instead of end where it was)
viewing excel in Teams, scroll bars are white (opposite of any other application, where draggable area is darker)
Copy image, it copies it as base64 img html tag :D lol
If you search message, you cannot copy text from those results! wow!
if you delete message (between 2 messages), deleted message row jumps as last message..
list text is black on call chat panel! (with dark gray background)
cannot drop image to message, UNTIL you type something first
suddenly today new thumbs up icon in the feed (looks more blurry and not clear with purple background)
If someone reacts to your message in the current that that you already are, then you need to go to notifications and come back to have "mark it as seen".. (when you already saw it as it was for the last message there)
if you click channel link in chat (to enter it), it wont become visible in the channels list
Cannot click forwarded message to see images and context (it doesnt even show the images!)
if you search messages, results are NOT ordered by date or anything! (and you cannot sort them by date)
Clicking "More" on messages search results, show same results but with extra tools, but still no sorting option
Clicking "Next" shows few more results, nowhere there is info on how many total results or pages there are
new message popup is too dark, close button not visible until mouse over
cannot mark channel as read, it keeps showing red (1) icon, until you find that flagged message from one of the reply threads
if you click your own profile icon, it displays "start chat", but clicking it doesnt do anything
from activity feed, you cannot jump into the channel where notification is from (hard to see what is the root teams name either, not clear from regular text in description dropdown panel)
in private messages, if message contains more than 1 image, you get arrows to view next/prev image, but in team chats you dont get arrows for viewing multiple images!
Copy file link, opens copy dialog need to press copy button (why not just copy directly) AND after press copy button, another dialog opens for "copied", but it has another copy button there! (so user ends up doing copy about 3 times?)
"Are you writing finnish now" constantly appears sometimes, surely they could use detect language algoriths, instead of bothering user (the panel sometimes blocks your message when it appears or moves)
starting new chat and adding people, pressing tab doesnt add highlighted person (first item in results), even though its highlighted!
Clicking downloading file doesnt open the file in explorer, need to click that file downloaded (that is visible at the same time in the end)
Never put anything important in the meeting chats (you'll never find those meeting chats again!) (or always duplicate the message in main channel chat for that topic/project) as those meeting chats seem to disappear in history and search cannot find them either..
viewing files from chat, opening even small files takes 30 seconds (and there is no info or progress, so it looks like its bugged)
viewing files from chat, if press close, it jumps back into start of the list
New 18.01.2023: When you upload or delete item in Files, uncloseable popup panel appears on top right..
Messages dont show date, only day name and time, so it looks like the message was from this week, Until you scroll up and see the full date (messages are grouped to date)
viewing pdf file, cannot press Page down to go next page (until click the page manually once)
Writing email: Cannot first character from email address (it removes whole address) asdf@opkpokokpo.okop (if press delete ahead of "a" letter, it erases whole email)
Viewing files list, cannot easily click "modified" header to easily sort ascending/descending, it opens some dropdown instead with all kind of options (non standard way)
No way to cancel download
No way to see whats currently downloading (files tab icon shows that something is downloading)
cannot click main teams name to get there! "Cannot Click here > Sub Teams", impossible to find it, actually cannot be sure if its chat or teams that you were added..
viewing word document: cannot double or triple click to select whole line of text
viewing word document: close button was moved in between other buttons! not in the top right anymore..
Files view: if select multiple file rows, Share button disappears! need to share 1 by 1..
Searching for filename, you get few related results and bottom has "more files" link, pressing it displays "We couldn't find any results for ...", then why display the link at all?
cannot see if the meeting is already running (only if meeting has more than x amount of people it does close mic in the join window), this causes issue that people join in later (when meeting is already ended, because they dont know if anyone is still in the room) and then everyone get the windows notification for "asdf started meeting.."
during meeting, top bar buttons move if someone shares screen (so you will accidentally click wrong button) when you tried to press chat or people
if company meeting has not started, people will join and everyone get notification that "asdf started meeting", Teams needs option that only organizer can start meeting!
With the new message system, if you leave message unsent, you get "continue writing this draft" there and have to click it.. so its 1 extra click again.
Downloads list, no right mouse button menu (to open file folder like elsewhere), left button opens file location in explorer (while normally left click opens file in Teams)
with the new chats per topic/thread, you cannot see files tab on those threads! it means if someone says the file is in files/ you have to go into main channel first, and then into files, and then back into that thread..
if you type something with ( ) characters, if tries to convert it into emoji constantly, on every key press!
"Reply"-row now requires 2 clicks most of the time!!! started few weeks ago, and it takes almost 1 seconds to "activate"
uploading file with same name shows warning about "Uploading a copy because a file with the same name is shared in this channel. Reshare older file instead" AND then it renames your current upload file (before its uploaded!!!) and the name is really strange "file1.gif" becomes "fil 2.gif"
cannot see from activity or any history, that who called you today?!?!?
opening word doc in chat, vertical scrollbar is ~4pixels wide, hard to click it (especially if you have 2nd monitor on right side of screen)
opening word doc in chat, there is no close or clearly visible back to chat button!!
when attache docx to chat, you cannot open or preview the attached file! so you have to go open it manually from explorer, to confirm its correct
Files, if you move existing file to another folder, it takes several seconds before anything happens (so it feels like it didnt work, no indication that its doing something)
when you send message with image, and are forced to press "See More" to see your just sent image, it appears for 1 second and then folds again, have to press "See More" again.. (and every time you come to see it again also)
when starting to write message in teams chat, if you mouse hover some user, it steals focus from text input box!
when you go into teams chat files, and come back, its not in the same chat position anymore (need to scroll back up)
when file has finished downloading, and you click "downloading" (not the "downloaded"), it doesnt do anything!!

Apps


Apps require wide permissions "Access this team's information such as team name, channel list and roster (including team member's names and email addresses) – and use this to contact them."
Clicking "Add" app didnt do anything..* actually it appeared in main channel, not in the channel that i clicked add
Apparently need to go add apps again, click the added app again, then there is option to disable post message to channel, but no option to add into tabs still

Weather app


shows fahrenheit even though my computer and country uses celsius (and cannot change it anywhere it seems)
doesnt search from my country with zip code
what, its not even supported https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/suggestions/33252442-weather-in-celsius

Viewing Powerpoint in Teams


Cannot press Page down (to jump pages) or mouse scroll
clicking the page goes to next page
while clicking next/prev, tooltip never disappears

Viewing Word Document in Teams


Cannot copy image from the document!!! (even when you pressed open, not just from the view mode)

Signin (after password changed)


"We need you to sign in! Either your password changed or the server needs your sign-in info again", signin button doesnt do anything (it just opens the app again to this same page)
Pressing TAB allows you to browse content behind the signin window! ahaha.

Links


cannot put links to network drives (in email you can)

Chat


Backspacing on url keeps jumping around backward and forward
Blinking taskbar window, shows title of current chat (even though notification is in completely different chat room)!
No reply button visible for thread, but appears if you click "new conversation", then scroll down

Real Feedback From Teams users


"Everything gets lost in teams"
"Lets go back to using emails and shared excel in network drive"

Favourite Contacts


If you typed someones name, selected user, then click elsewhere, you cannot edit the field anymore (need to close and open again)

Bugs

clicking shift-enter after a link breaks the text box (cannot move, until click in the start of the line)
recently it started to happen that when you select chat from the list, it doesnt scroll all the way to the end by default, so you need to always scroll down to see last messages
clicking "go to message" from search results, it doesnt go that that message
searching inside chat, can see results on left, but clicking the message doesnt do anything! (and it doesnt show the full time and date for that message, so its more difficult to find)

edited Word file from chat, saved and pressed close Word (local), it says "we've saved your changes locally, but we can't upload your changes to the server right now. We'll rety uploading them the next time you open this file." *How hard can it be to upload a file in year 2024???
Opened file again as it suggested, it says "we couldnt verify that you have the necessary permissions to upload the file" (but its private chat with 1 person, why cannot upload modfied OR even renamed file?)
today same error multiple times "There was a problem reaching this app"
if you select that "There was a problem reaching this app" text, then re-enter/reload, everything is selected in the teams chat
popup: add ..something.. tools into chat, click here to watch how. I clicked it, nothing happened.

power viewer only shows first page, takes long to load the rest
again ads popup for "Get the Teams mobile app"
shared files are deleted after certain time (with no warnings or info!!)

Permissions


Unclear what app permissions for, like "Read your Enterprise", does that mean they can read all enterprise messages? and the rest also, it feels like they can read every chat, which probably is not the case, but unclear. Needs (?) for more info or tooltips..

Search


cannot search from specific chat only
if i found file in search, how do it go into that Teams files tab? cannot go anywhere from the results..

Popups


"One more step to set up Teams with Office", cannot skip this step! what if i'm in a hurry?

Cannot join meeting on firefox (forces to use edge by using special edge: link)

Missing features


no "forward message" feature (so you need to download file, copy message and send manually to someone else)

Teams Mobile


Copy link, copies link to teams chat message, not the link that you pressed copy for..
Keeps showing old messages as new (notifications, even if you had cleared them)

Teams Meeting recordings


Have now an expiration date. A recording will expire in 60 days, too short for anything, why its default?

UX WOW


Huge blue blinking water drop icon appeared on top bar today, with circles emitting from it! "add shortcut to one drive", totally useless and annoying. Clicking that water drop icon opened some weird help panel for "finding files faster", then it closed itself, not sure how to even get it back..
Today every calender event is bright yellow!
06.10.2023, suddendly today you cannot make regular posts anymore!! It creates post and start with Title field, so you cannot @people there, need to fill in title and then go to write message below!!! (cannot add download link to title either)
Right mouse button context menu is disabled in some Teams or announcements?!?! Just wanted to copy address from one message with mouse..
at some update, when you type @... it doesnt offer names, UNTIL you type 4 letters, previously it would offer earlier
there is NO ctrl+f SEARCH in PDF viewer?!?! Ahahaha..
Cannot copy text if its message title!! Works if you select whole title text MINUS 1 letter : D
Cannot copy selected text with right mouse click (opening right mouse menu selects all text from message!!)

Mobile UX


Sending message on Teams chat, "new conversation" button is not visible at bottom (there is blue icon, but it doesnt look like "new conversation", more like close or open link button), so you most likely press reply (on older thread) instead

SPAM / ADVERTISING


suddenly one channel shows banner: "reserve your seat for whats new webinar...to catch latest product updates"
needed to send quick message, but suddenly on opening teams it showed mobile app modal banner

Missing Features


cannot share link to specific post or topic! (but if you share chat to outlook, it contains link to thread!)

Cant believe it


ms removed mediakey commandline option, now have to use hex editor to fix it manually! https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/microsoft-teams/media-keys-and-teams-notifications/m-p/3668430/highlight/true#M118777

Security


Asks for authenticator code, but you can close that window and scroll messages behind it for a short perioid of time (and can repeat it as many times as you want)

UX Issues


title bar is gray, hard to see search box there
Everything has more margin and padding and rounded edges? Cannot see as many messages in Teams view
All teams chat messages are using gray background, which looks like they are quoted text instead (and main background is white instead!! why..
List circle symbol is now not filled? hard to see it as a first level list
Pressing arrow key up moves into other messages, while you are editing your own message!!! (leaves the textbox)

Missing features


File tab still doesnt have file size columns
