Works well? In relation to what? Carrier pigeons? Did you forget the /S ?

The only thing I’ve seen it do well is share recorded videos almost immediately.

It doesn’t even send messages as you’d expect. It’ll show sent on your side but the other person never gets it

Someone calls and it rings, but the answer button has a 50% chance of not being there so you can’t actually join unless it’s a group call and then you can after it rings for 30 seconds and you don’t even know who called unless they ping you saying they’re calling

Sharing your screen takes a few tries occasionally and sometimes requires you to rejoin the call

Notifications? What notifications. They work so rarely it’s become a habit to manually check every few minutes

And it opens docs in teams!? Who wants that hot garbage

And the freezing! It regularly freezes for 20 seconds when doing anything in it

I’d gladly take Skype over the garbage that teams is

And if that wasn’t bad enough, it’s apparently such trash that it triggers me when someone has anything nice to say about teams. Sorry 😅

I use it 5 days a week for work and don’t have connectivity problems.

These issues are company wide and are not unique to me. I would switch isp providers if that would solve the issue. It’s bad enough that if you want a new computer you just talk to tech support about the issues and they’ll send you a new one since they can’t fix it (not that the new laptops work any better with teams)

I only communicate with internal employees, so we’re all in the same network with company issues laptops. I even tried the app on my phone for a while and that wasn’t any better so I ditched it

I’m honestly surprised anyone has had a good experience with Teams

Sort of. Still can’t donate if you’re taking prep (hiv preventative) or if you’ve had sex with multiple people.

Need to be off prep for 3 months and not have sex with new or multiple partners.

The no prep part is a tough ask. Especially with how healthcare is

Much better than it was but it still excludes a huge portion of the community

Unfortunately it applies to gay men only. Our straight counterparts can switch up partners as much as they want.

Well, it’d apply to bisexual men who’ve had male partners as well.

I should also point out it doesn’t have to be new partners. Just if you’ve had more than one partner you can’t donate even if it’s an exclusive polygamous relationship.

I see what you’re saying but they are specifically worried about anal sex. You’re welcome to switch up partners as much as you want as long as anal sex isn’t involved, which is much more likely and much easier for the heterosexual community.

Same goes with prep. I’m sure that there are circumstances that would have individuals taking it that are not related to their sexual orientation.

I’m just pointing out that despite the major improvement it still excludes gay men quite thoroughly from donating blood.
