Not until Microsoft Teams gets the layout fixed, see https://microsoftteams.uservoice.com/forums/555103-public/su...

Not really.

Teams biggest "Feature" is that is part of the Office 364 Suite, a lot of the layout and other issues are simply forgiven since there are no additional licensing or costs to use it over Slack if you are already on Office 364 Enterprise

Teams is "good enough" for most organizations and is improving,

That is microsoft current plan, be "good enough"

That has always been Microsoft's plan, to be "just good enough" to make the cost of switching outweigh the cost of muddling on.

In this case, it’s also their competitors plan! Slack seems to have the same ethos.

What happened to the last day of Office 365?

Off-by-one error. Or a joke about availability.

As a 365 admin, I'm quite certain it's an availability joke.

If you’re an office 365 admin, you would know it’s not a joke :-(

Ask Microsoft, they seem to think there is only 364 days in a yer based on their availability

How many days are in a non-Microsoft yer? (sorry!)

Yep. My large, distributed government agency was a free-for-all for several years. After letting everyone try things out, they've now decided to standardize on O365 and dozens of team-specific Slacks are getting torpedoed in favor of the agency-wide Teams instance.

Couldn’t they have had an agency wide Slack instance?

Thanks for the link. I’ll be watching it.

Out of curiosity, what do you think of the Stylish userscript that enables a compact mode in Teams and offers dark and light themes?

It's a well-made workaround until Teams gets a first rate UI.

I still prefer an App instead of the browser, but that's just personal preference.
