What they wish it did

Capabilities people described needing that Microsoft Teams does not give them, taken from the highest-scoring problems first. These are individual accounts written in each person’s own terms, so two entries may describe the same underlying gap in different words.

What they do instead

The manual processes people built around the gap. A long workaround list is the strongest evidence a problem is real: someone is already paying for it in time. Where several people described the same workaround, it is marked.

Read this fairly

These are complaints, and only complaints — nobody posts to say their software worked. A high count mostly reflects how many people use Microsoft Teams at all, so this page is not a quality judgement and should not be read as one. What it is good for is the shape of the gaps: the specific jobs people could not get done, which are the same whether the tool is popular or not.
