I think Teams is the best “all ‘round” for chat and video and screen sharing.
Slack is best in class for chat though.
Teams chat sucks in a few ways:
* Posts? Why can’t messages be more lightweight.
* No custom emojis like party parrot.
* Total crapshoot whether it converts my three backticks into a code block.
* Please fuck off with trying to offer me apps every time I paste a link.
The alternative is group DMs but those come with many issues as well:
* They tend to proliferate every time you need to chat with a slightly different group of people;
* No support for threads whatsoever;
* Why is it in a completely separate place from "teams"?
Custom emojis and gif search integration. I know Teams has the latter but it's clunky.
Agree. Formatting a message in Teams is like playing the lottery. You have a chance of winning but really in all likelihood you will lose.
Slack's WYSIWYG editor is pretty bad as well, but: it's much, much better than Teams's; and I can disable it altogether.
In the privacy settings "Optional connected experiences" will turn off the app previews (and web previews).
I was very excited to turn this off, but it turns out it's already off.
