Help Microsoft Teams look better when you move it to ½ screen

By Adam Cogan in Teams March 20, 2020 0 Comment

I often have Teams on the right side of my screen and there are a few little things that could be fixed.

Some examples as per the red arrows

Expand “4 more”
Expand columns
Move buttons
Add column last access eg. “5 hr”

Figure: UI Bug – On Windows, the Teams app is not responsive

Help me know what resources a client has access to

By Adam Cogan in Teams March 19, 2020 0 Comment

Inside SSW, we have added a lot of clients into the Teams team. On the downside, you start seeing a lot of names you don’t know.

Suggestion:
John is a client and a person I don’t really know. It took me a long time to know what he has access to here at SSW.

On this popup window it would be nice if you show something like this:

John has access to:

1 team
1 DevOps project
2 invoices (via an extensibility point)

Figure: Suggestion – Add a 5^th icon here “Activity” (this would enable the user to learn more about what John has access to)

Figure: On this 3^rd tab Activity, please add what John has access to

On this Related Content view, I would like to see stats on who is clicking this and the length of time it took…

… say “Show the last 10 runs”

Figure: Right here I would like to know: Who has been clicking this?

Figure: Can you add columns “User” and “Execution Time”

Help me easily see the form I work on each week

By Adam Cogan in Microsoft Forms November 26, 2019 0 Comment

You know I love Microsoft Teams – I use it every week.

1. Are you going to be doing many changes to this view (I don’t enjoy using it a lot)

2. I am baffled when I see all these groups (when I have never used them)…. can you give the user the ability to remove them? (Even better dont show them if they are 0)

3. The group I use every week never shows up… I expect it to be #1 based on usage… so it kind of seems like a bug to me.

Figure: Sadly Recent Group Forms just shows me junk

Navigation – Help me know where I am

I click a link (sadly an unreadable link):

https://teams.microsoft.com/l/file/946926A6-F818-4208-9CFE-0D74BBC96619?tenantId=ac2f7c34-b935-48e9-abdc-11e5d4fcb2b0&fileType=xlsx&objectUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fsswcom.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FBrisbaneRetreat2020%2FShared%20Documents%2FGeneral%2FBrisbane-%20Retreat-2020-Attendance.xlsx&baseUrl=https%3A%2F%2Fsswcom.sharepoint.com%2Fsites%2FBrisbaneRetreat2020&serviceName=teams&threadId=19:27c127ee866b495e9a42775b66be92b9@thread.skype&groupId=fb84bba4-1504-4c82-96e5-ab938868ad2b

And I go here.

Suggestions:

Where am I? Can you please add a breadcrumb that takes me to the team that this file belongs to (see red arrow)
The ‘Close’ button should be renamed to ‘Cancel’ because it takes you back to where you were eg. the last chat
