    “I think you’re sharing the wrong screen, we just see an Amazon checkout page.”

      There was a really Fun pregnant pause, the one time I accidentally shared the wrong monitor, and everyone on that work project got to see my search results for sarcoidosis. Scary thing that I do not have but was researching while waiting for test results.

      I do find it interesting that not a single soul said anything to me about it later.

    I hate it so much. I always say “I just assume you all see my screen. As you can see…”. Screen sharing works in what? 99% of cases? We do not need to ask if everyone can see my screen and let 1-10 people answer that stupid question every time. The modus operandi is that this software works in the vast majority of cases and the recipients just need to know that I started sharing my screen and that it will in 99% of cases work just fine. Let them speak up for the 1% of times where it does not work.

    I am also a big fan of ending my emails with “A response is not needed”. Stop sending me replies with those stupid one line emails “Thank you so much for sending me what I asked you for… bla bla”. Not every emails needs a response.

      It works 95% of the time but it often takes 10+ seconds until everyone can see the screen.

      I get your point, but teams is such a broken mess that I think the question is legitimate. Half the time it doesn’t even register my microphone even if Windows doesn’t have a problem with it.

        Honestly, Teams works pretty much flawlessly for me. It’s a resource hog and some actions (like switching between tabs) are inexcusably slow, but it works pretty well 99% of the time.

          That’s the exact opposite of what I’ve read in most linux threads on here. Most people seem to complain about teams not working at all under Linux.

          My whole dev group uses Linux and Teams is a hot mess for us. We have to run the PWA through Chrome to get things to work and even then it’s hit or miss.

          Wait, what? I thought they killed Teams for Linux a few years back. I’ve been piping my Webcam to a Windows VM just so I can run Teams and Outlook.

              Nice! I’ll give it a try. I tried the web version through Firefox and it was unusable. I was able to join a meeting, but as soon as I turned on my mic, my opponents freaked out, saying their sounds were echoing back to them. Firefox + web teams was not doing any noise cancellation between speakers and mic.

              Ooh, that’s a good suggestion to try, too! My specific problem with teams in the browser is the feedback cancelation bits. When I am unmuted, the people I’m chatting with hear themselves echoed. Using the full teams app in a windows VM with my webcam piped to the windows VM works fine. I’ll try the AUR teams first, but if that doesn’t work I’ll look into waydroid, too. Thanks!

    You forgot the intro: Hello, hello, hello, can everybody hear me? Is everybody there?

    It’s missing the awkward pause where nobody can speak for “everyone”, so everyone is silent.

    In this day and age, surely someone can put this into a website and play the melody?

    The length of the notes is proportional to how bad the UX is to get it going.
