While they’re at it can they get rid of Copilot, too?

Teams is fine for people who are tied to a desk, whether in office or remote. I’m on the road a lot with many hours of windshield time. Many of my d=co-workers are so tied to Teams that they will never actually make a phone call or text.

I can handle a call or text when driving. I can’t do anything with a Teams message.

I am not a fan of TEAMS. Mandatory usage for my organization.

Install Teams on your iPhone and you can handle a Teams call or message while driving as well.

We use Teams at my job extensively, especially since the pandemic and work-from-home mandates. I like it better than Zoom.

Every two weeks it deletes and I have to go through the stupid multi factor authentication. I can’t do that on the freeway.

I also can’t send a text to Car Play, like I can with my phone. Yes, a scheduled call can be handled on Car Play, but not if video is needed.

When someone does a Teams message to me, I call them back. I don’t care what anyone thinks. I work with a bunch of Gen Z idiots who are too fraidy to make a phone call.

I use Teams on my Samsung and work Iphone

You can use it while driving, just need to have the permissions right

Using while driving will mean all in the meeting will hear the car crash as you are not focused on driving.

[redgolum]

It is the same as a phone call, and set up the same.

Most people use hands free cell phones or apps while driving.
