A windows dialogue saying "Select an app to open this 'msteams' link. The suggested apps are Microsoft teams, with a "new" subtext, and MicroSoft Teams, with the word new in its icon.
They didn’t just…update Teams? That’s insanity, but I also just fought with bluetooth drivers on Thursday on my PC and it was a fucking disaster mess shitshow. My favourite part was knowing that the control panel is still there and functional even though there’s “settings” now, which does essentially the same stuff but also it’s different and also if you’re a new user or not paying attention you might not even know the control panel exists.
Not only is it bad to start but they seem intent on making it worse with every update.
The older variant of Teams was delivered with Office and is an Electron app, the newer variant was delivered as part of Windows 11 and uses a shared Edge view (basically Electron but Edge-based and memory-shared)...
I think there are also feature differences, as in: The newer version has fewer features.
Incredible move. Who the hell makes these decisions?!
I love when I dig for a setting in settings, and it opens a control panel window.
