The markdown formatting doesn't even work consistently. Some days things show up bold, some days they don't, some days I get inline code, some days I don't. It's very random and seems to be based on my typing speed at the time. That is, type ` and then wait a moment before typing the next bit and it works more reliably, but if I type like normal (around 100 wpm) it rarely registers properly.
I'm now in the habit of typing the opening backtick, ctrl+shift+v to paste some line of code, then having to WAIT a second or 2 and then type the second backtick. That usually formats it correctly. But I'm also very quick on the backspace and retyping the closing backtick, which is sometimes necessary.
Starting a new chat with someone in your organisation that you haven't chatted to is also annoyingly slow. This one I keep forgetting. So I search their name in the search bar, choose the hit from the dropdown and immediately start typing, only to notice that my initials 10 keystrokes didn't register, because the new chat was still initialising.
I'm curious, do you touch type? I'm also at about 100wpm, but only thanks to learning to touch type.
My $employer is still on skype for business. I usually liken the choice between SkypeFB and teams between having a broken leg (Skype) or a stubbed toe (teams).
Of course given this binary choice I would prefer a stubbed toe, but can we just move to something that is actually pleasant? Thanks!
Given this bridge moving to element seems like a no-brainer for anyone on teams.
The customer group for teams seems to be used to the likes of Cisco Webex, Skype for Business, Lync and similar crap. Compared to those, Teams is a step up.
The markdown formatting renders differently in the desktop client depending on whether you are in the main application window or a popped-out chat window...
Which are both different than the formatting that the browser version of Teams shows.
