Teams has a bunch of anti-features that I have to click off, including this one. The micro update also tend to break something. For example a November patch broke list in chat, a futher one broke list in general. I have to enter the edit mode every time I want to enter a list. I think the ability to use ''' to enter code snippets was also broken a while ago, and in another patch the indentation of such code block was…
MS Teams is the worst software I've ever used. This is not hyperbole. A room full of monkeys on a typewriter would never create something as bad as teams.
Linux version: - some times the left arrow to move the cursor doesn't work - some times images are displayed and others not - can't have more than 4 people on screen in a video call - the scroll is completely broken - can't get out of the immersive mode without closing the process (the back arrow doesn't work) And the list goes on and on...
You can if you use it in Chrome. I thought Teams was an Electron application, which makes this even more strange.

> a rash of anti-zoom propaganda that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft Zoom had and continues to have a significant developer presence in China. Those individuals are subject to CCP coercion. There was also a time when they routed American calls through the mainland [1]. That has been fixed. But it remains excessive to cast all past criticism of Zoom as Microsoft's work. [1] https://techcrunch.com/2020/04/0…
"Zoom had and continues to have a significant developer presence in China." So whats worse: a backdoor for China, or a giant hole for anyone interested? I guess the latter gives us esual opportunity...
At work we were briefed in detail by spy from CSIS to avoid Zoom. I trust the Canadian spy before a trust I company with CCP ties.
The only thing I can add from that briefing is avoid Zoom, Huawei and product from Facebook, use Telegram if you can and Teams or Google current messaging solution if you can't.

As an anecdote I know of a certain top-100 company that ditched their in-house competitor to Teams because MS made them a sweeter O365 deal. For a time management forced them to use Teams even though they were still developing AND licensing the in-house competitor to other companies. MS is really aggressive with Teams marketing (specially for large bureaucratic enterprise) and I could totally see them doing what you…
And this is why MS is the king of enterprise.

So you are blaming Zoom security issues coverage on Microsoft without any proof and the comment asking for evidence is flagged. What's going on HN ?
> What's going on HN ? HN is an anti-MS echo chamber, so comments like this become popular quickly. It's been this way for a few years now.
In 2020 a rash of anti-zoom propaganda that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft led to a company-wide prohibition on using anything other than Teams "for security reasons" where i worked. This was, I am almost certain, inspired by Microsoft corporate sales getting their hooks into management. This was largely because of news stories like "end to end encryption doesnt really work as advertised" and "if you leav…

My biggest issues are that a) it starts up in the foreground (none of my other autostart apps do this) so it can happily intercept keypresses you're doing in other apps -- and b) it does not respect standard system titlebar / borders, which puts it as the only app in my KDE environment that works in a non-standard manner. A/V issues, navigation, inability to find an existing conversation / conference (happening now o…
I wouldn't even try running Teams on Linux, as I'm sure it's an endless source of frustration (much more intense than on Windows or on the browser). But the one nice thing of Linux is that you can force apps to behave.
What is the solution? More security education for general SWEs? It seems like whatever team worked on this feature never considered any security perspectives.
I think ultimately PM takes care of which fix/feature to be worked on?

> In 2020 a rash of anti-zoom propaganda that I'm almost certain was driven by Microsoft... Perhaps it was driven by Zoom's poor security and privacy record?
