Microsoft Teams, Buyer’s Remorse?

Well, not quite, since I’m using the free version, and glad of it.

Earlier today I was trying to help a friend find me, which I thought would be an easy task, seeing as how we were on Skype together. It turns out, hardly anything is easy when using Teams. What I finally did was to send him an invite link. That fixed his problem, but when he sent me the chat, sure, I got it but it took ages to find where to accept his chat request.

Now I have another problem and this one is causing me to scratch my head and say awful things to myself, silently.

I can not, for the life of me, figure out how to add him as a contact. I read up on some help but I never found the add contact option anywhere.

Man, when I think back on doing this kind of thing in Skype, and how dang easy it was, I regret even more that Microsoft has abandoned this easy-to-use, at least for me, application.

  1. one of the sounds kind of sounds like a piano when you do a speaker test and when you open the waiting room it makes some sort of doorbell sound and when you leave it makes some sort of synthesize sounds.

  2. I don’t use zoom or google meet as much these days. But I tried it before and at least I’m aware of these two platforms. Nice to have it just in case.

  3. I’m frustrated that Skype is gone. What I will do is to export my Skype info and delete my Skype account entirely and not migrating to teams.
