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.
