Das einzig Gute an MS #Teams für mich sind die Emojis, die sind niedlich und süß.

Why do video conference apps like #Zoom, #Skype, #Teams have a reactions menu instead of a simple "The mic is still muted!" button?

Neuen Beitrag auf dem Blog schon gelesen?

Darin geht's um das Problem fehlender Verbindlichkeit in #Teams.

Der Fokus liegt dabei auf der Stärkung der #Verbindlichkeit durch

👉 die Etablierung gemeinsamer Ziele,
👉 klare Zuständigkeiten,
👉 definierte Prozesse,
👉 das Halten von Versprechen und
👉 die Schaffung psychologischer Sicherheit im Team.

Customer to the team: „we really need to focus on finishing PBIs to get the work done and reach our sprint goal“

Me thinking: what the fuck do you think I do all day long?

Do these people really think that work will get done faster by putting pressure and stress on the dev team?
No, it will definitely not.

But people will be more pissed on the day job and work will result with less quality, because everyone will focus on get shit done as fast as possible and not get it done right. That’s not sustainable (I hate that word, but it’s the most suitable here).
Artificial pressure from people in leading positions is the worst thing you can do to a development team and really drains motivation. If people in a leading position can’t handle pressure and stress, but simply forward it to the dev team then they are not the right person for the job.

That iconic macOS XP wallpaper we all know and love #background #wallpaper #teams #zoom #ChatGPT4

A landscape that combines the style of Apple's majestic nature wallpapers with the location of Microsoft's iconic Windows XP wallpaper. This image should capture the lush green rolling hills from the XP background but rendered in the breathtaking, high-resolution style typical of MacOS wallpapers. The scene should include vibrant colors, with an emphasis on natural beauty and a visually stunning composition. The sky should be dynamic and expressive, enhancing the overall majesty of the landscape. The image is intended for use as a computer background in a widescreen 16:9 aspect ratio.

Can Microsoft #Teams not imagine that you would want to share your screen in a meeting for any reason other than showing a presentation?

I share my screen multiple times per day (we're a fully remote team, so Teams is our communication medium), and I think I've shown a presentation maybe one time out of ten thousand.

No. We show code, or we go through Jira boards and open multiple tabs for different stories and epics we want to look at. All of which are at the top of the screen. Exactly where that infernal "You are sharing your screen" bar is. The bar that you cannot hide, and you cannot dock anywhere but the top of the screen.

So when I'm driving our planning sessions, I have to work around that by un-maximising (restoring) my browser window, and then moving and sizing it so that it's ALMOST maximised, but there's just enough space above it so the sharing bar doesn't hide my tabs.

Come on, #Microsoft. You can do better. :P

It is very cold outside, so it might as well be very cold in this call, too. #background #wallpaper #teams #zoom #chatgpt

An extreme winter scene depicting the coldest, snowiest backyard imaginable. The entire landscape is engulfed in a massive amount of snow, with towering snowdrifts and icicles hanging from every surface. The suburban home in the background is almost buried under the snow, with just the rooftop and chimney peeking out. The trees are completely covered in thick layers of ice and snow, creating an almost surreal, frosty environment. The sky is overcast with heavy, snow-laden clouds, adding to the intense cold and snowy atmosphere of this extreme winter wonderland.

Dank unserer flexiblen Arbeitsweise konnten wir auch im Bewerbungsprozess schnell Anpassungen an die Corona-Herausforderungen vornehmen:
Wir bearbeiten deine eingehende Bewerbung und melden uns schnellstmöglich bei dir per E-Mail oder telefonisch zurück. Das erste Bewerbungsgespräch wird dann meist als Videokonferenz (via TEAMS oder Skype) durchgeführt. So kannst du uns auch ohne direkten Kontakt persönlich kennen lernen und kannst deine Fragen stellen. Wir geben unser Bestes, die Gesprächssituation für dich so angenehm wie möglich zu gestalten – fast so wie bei einem real stattfindenden Erstgespräch.

Das Onboarding gestalten wir in enger Abstimmung mit dir: es kann entweder virtuell stattfinden oder unter Berücksichtigung der zum entsprechenden Zeitpunkt geltenden Regeln auch persönlich im Büro in der Hahnstrasse. Die Arbeitsmittel übergeben wir dann natürlich mit ausreichend Sicherheitsabstand. Wir sind schon in Übung und haben auf diesem Weg seit April bereits 10 neue Kolleg:innen in unserem Team begrüßt.

There have been so many twists and turns in the #OpenAI melodrama! But here's one that I definitely didn't have on my Bing-o card: #Microsoft tacitly admitted that no one doing serious engineering wants to use their terrible software. According to "The Biggest Winner in the OpenAI Fiasco" from #wsj:

"Microsoft prepared to give those [OpenAI] engineers everything they needed to continue their work: a floor in LinkedIn’s offices, plentiful cloud-computing resources, #Apple laptops. The trillion-dollar company’s employees assured their potential colleagues that they wouldn’t even have to use Microsoft’s workplace-communications app #Teams."

This new 'feature' on my work #Jabra headset is one of the most annoying things I've ever come across.

It's supposed to be a visual reminder of #Teams meetings and pressing the call button is supposed to connect you - except I haven't got any meetings in my diary this morning, there's no timeout, and the shortcut rarely works. When it does, the 'join meeting' screen loads and the flashing stops - but closing that window starts the flashing again. It's just there, just in my peripheral vision 👀

An animated gif of a Jabra headset in-line control. There are four icon buttons - mute, volume down and up, and call in progress - and a central button labelled 'Jabra' that acts as a busy button. The call in progress light is flashing on and off green every half a second or so.

One of the most glaring issues in #Teams right now is the lack of the ability to mark discussions as sensitive. Any message from any contact in the organization will just pop up on your chat / notifications with clear text. That gives me extra anxiety right now while we are going through layoffs. I desperately need a way to mark certain messages a message as "sensitive" which will make any preview now show up immediately on a users' screen without interaction.

“We all feel great when Forbes comes out and says, ‘This is how much you’re worth and how much the teams are worth.’ But when the rubber hits the road and it’s, ‘Well, the company’s worth X; write us a check’ — most of us in sports, we’re not profitable; we’re not wildly profitable,” Leonsis said. “So it was a real issue.”

Reading Time: 3 minutes

 To get best results you need to take all your project team with you.

Introduction

Sometimes the most difficult part of the research process can be getting full buy-in from the project team. This can be especially true when the team have strong opinions on what needs to be done and the research is contradicting this. This can lead to conflict and the validity of the research being questioned. However, there are ways to bring the project team with you and get their buy-in and support at every stage of a project. Let’s explore these.

Consequences if there isn’t buy-in to the research project

It’s simple really. If we don’t ask the right questions, we won’t get the answers to enable us to help staff and customers get the best outcome.

Likewise, if we don’t listen to staff and customers’ feedback then we run the risk of creating a product or service that pleases no-one.

However, there can be some challenges to overcome.

Challenges

There are a number of challenges involved in doing research in a multidisciplinary project:

  • Preconceptions of what the research will say
  • People attributing opinions to customers “I know my customers”
  • Having a preferred solution before the research takes place
  • Ensuring all views are valued equally (not the most senior opinion)
  • Ensuring the team understands that the purpose of research is not to blindly validate the opinions of the team
  • Explaining the importance of attending a research session
  • Making sure that no-one feels threatened or vulnerable at a feedback session

What we want from a research feedback session

  • To deliver clear and accurate feedback to the project team
  • Each team member feels that their opinion is listened to and given value
  • Avoid cognitive bias colouring the research outputs
  • To ensure no team member feels defensive or under threat when delivering research feedback

How we achieve this  

  • Work to ensure that the team has identified and framed the problems they want to address, you don’t want any surprises after the first session
  • Get research questions clarified (agree what we are trying to learn)
  • Ensure the feedback clearly answers the questions you agreed to answer
  • Make sure that everyone understands the rationale behind the research and how it will be conducted
  • Make sure everyone understands their roles
  • Make sure the opinion of the most senior person in the team is not sought first, leave them until other people have had a chance to speak. This ensures that people don’t just agree with the boss
  • Invite the project team to observe at sessions (create guidelines to give to observers)
  • Involve the project team in the analysis of the research project
  • Clarify at the start how you will communicate findings

Being sensitive to peoples feelings

Sometimes resistance to the research comes from a place of vulnerability or fear:

  • Always be aware of the feelings of the people that you are feeding back to. If a finding is going to be critical of someone’s work, be sensitive and constructive in the way you word it
  • If the feedback is very mixed start off with the positive points first and then deal with the challenging feedback then be sure to finish off with some positive points. This makes it easier for people to accept all the feedback
  • Understand if the feedback could make a team member feel vulnerable, and if so take them through the results before the formal feedback session. This will enable them to collect their thoughts for the session

What I have learnt

To get best results you need to take all your project team with you ensuring that everyone understands their role and the value they add to the process.

People all have different motivations in a team, try to understand those before you begin the project.

Be kind – it pays dividends in good will.

Don’t allow yourself to be persuaded into watering down your findings. Being able to accept criticism is healthy for an oganisation.

Always remember the reason why we do what we do is to make improvements for staff and customers.

Arrg, bruk av \` (#backtick/GRAVE ACCENT) til å angi `kode` i løpende tekst à la #Markdown fungerer ikke lenger i #Microsoft #Teams.

I den såkaltene menyen så kan en velge såkalt «Fast tegnavstand» under «Avsnitt» (!).

Merk at denne ikke fungerer for såkalt fast tegnavstand for avsnitt/kodeblokker, dvs. det resulterer i ikke-sammenhengende linjer.

Heller ikke bruk av trippel \` for å angi start på kodeblokk fungerer lenger.

Leketøy for slipsfolk.

-- La til escape vha \

My daily experience using the piece of garbage that is #microsoft #teams . clck through these 3 error screens before the login screen is finally presented. I think our Azure AD sessions time out after 24hrs or something.

"something went wrong"
"can you sign in again"
"sorry we've run into an issue"

Giles Hinchcliff has hit the nail on the head - "Enabling teams are meant to be the lifeblood of an organisation. A way in which the enterprise can share good practices amongst all the teams in the org."

Let's hope these pitfalls he fell down will help others not to do the same.

I note with trepidation that the Microsoft #Teams app on my MacBook has updated and is now calling itself Teams Classic.

I fear the worst …

That #Zoom pro account I purchased last week is already paying for itself. Have a meeting with a client this morning who *doesn't* have a pro account, offered mine, we'll use that. And unlike #teams, I don't have to rip off my own face and spit down my own bloody neck to get it working...

Click a #zoom meeting link, it works immediately. Click a #teams link and it works... 0.1% of the time. There aren't enough words in *any* language to express my utterly vitriolic hate, disdain and contempt for this product.

Example for small steps:
#Microsoft released the new #Teams 2.0. It can't do video conferencing - my main use case - and refers to the old Teams. If Microsoft can so such a thing, you might be able to do the same.

Another miss from #Teams. But it's not the only offender I've seen doing this. Please let me use English as a language but Finnish date and time formats. I'm not doing it for funsies, you know, I'm doing it because I need it that way. And because I don't understand your 12 hour clock.

#TIL that #Microsoft #Teams will blur out a cat’s face but not its tail or butthole

#catsofmastodon

#Windows 10 virtual desktop. Most apps are behaving, but #Teams keeps popping up on other desktops.

Googling this gives me solutions for putting it on *all* desktops. I want to pin it to a *single* desktop.

I know I did this before on another machine.

Microsoft #Teams really needs a "mute channel for X time" feature, like Mastodon. It's so annoying when you're trying to get into flow, and a couple of teammates choose that exact time to get into a discussion on a channel you need to stay subscribed to.

You mute it, and then a couple of days later people are asking why you haven't responded... because you forgot to UNmute it later.

Surely a multi-billion-dollar corporation can replicate a feature Mastodon has?

Microsoft backs down to Europe over Teams and Edge

Tech giant will unbundle Teams from Office 365 and stop links opening in Edge by default - but only for European customers.

Paging folks w/exp in training #MicrosoftTeams #Microsoft #Teams

I want to build a train-the-trainer network at my campus to help alleviate rampant ignorance in Teams use (admins won't do anything).

Suggestions for resources to use? Manuals, blogs, videos, etc.?

I am not Teams fluent, but I understand deeply how hardware, file systems, and networks function so I can seem passingly competent.

Thanks!
