Do you agree that products always have room for improvement?
"Every day there are little things in software that we find annoying. Some write books about it, like Annoyances.org, but I thought this site would be more constructive.
BetterSoftwareSuggestions.com is proudly maintained by myself and the developers at SSW."
I am not sure if this is an edge case…. I’d love to know how others work.
On some calls – for example a managers meeting – you want to temporarily add in someone just for a quick question. You don’t want them to remain after the call. It is kind of a security or privacy issue if you don’t remove them.
So I find it really annoying when I forgot to remove them after the call and they probably find it annoying when they get our messages after the call. So I would prefer not to have to remove the person manually.
Suggestion – next to “Add people”, I think it would be really cool to add a person via an option “Add people (temporarily)”.
We have a new feature “Delete” a chat. I’d love to know if people will use it.
I’m not sure I will use it as I like history in chats, but I regularly use ‘Hide” to remove a chat conversation (I am always aiming for a 0 inbox and a 0 chat list).
On the right click menu, notice the last 2 are about getting rid of a chat…. And so is “Hide” chat. Therefore it is in the wrong place.
Please can you move “Hide” with the bottom 2 menu items. Those 3 are related.
We all love Microsoft Teams and I think this UI looks like it is about to be clever, but it is not.
When starting a new chat… If I pick 1 person… please attempt to guess the 2nd person I will add to the chat. People are often related and I know it would be a nice for all Microsoft Teams users if the people picker showed the like people that I will chat with together.
Today, it doesn’t matter who I pick first in the chat, the search always shows the same people.
Figure: I type ‘Gert’ it pops open people, if I pick ‘Bob’ it pops open the *same* people!
Suggestion
Please pick who I will probably pick next … it should change the people based on who I am adding.
More info: Delve tells me who I talk to a bit, that would be ok. But when you talk to a manager, you probably are going to pick another manager. When I talk to an Azure DevOps engineer, I am probably going to pick another Azure engineer (not a React developer).
I think Jean did a great explanation of the permissions problem.

This is really weird behaviour – fire up Fiddler and you can see what Teams is doing in the background.
Turns out that when you search in Teams before it shows you what you have access to, it weirdly adds a refining query to only show documents from a list of every group you are a member of…
Figure: This string of group id’s is about 75 items long, and I believe it is made up of every Team I am a member of… I’d like to turn this offFigure: Query yields 1 result
When I remove that refining query, it works as expected:
Figure: In Fiddler when you edit the request and remove the group id refining query …it yielded 21 results
So I would say this appears to be a deliberate decision rather than a bug, though I think it is important to be able to turn it off if you want to find stuff using Team’s search 😂
In fact I would turn it off by default, so it is consistent with SharePoint Search
When you create a Microsoft Team, the Team has an email address associated with it. However, there is no way to see this email address from within Teams.
Note: There are Channel email addresses that you can view, but these are different.
Microsoft Teams should show the Team email address on the UI – like it does in Outlook.
Figure: Team Channels have an email address that can be viewed from Teams ✔️Figure: Missing – The Team also have an email address, but this cannot be seen ❌Figure: This is useful – you can see the Team email address in Outlook | Left nav | Groups | Team name
Do you know about“Gallery at Top” (see image) – if you are not using it, try it. I’d love to know if you also think it is awesome ⭐
Suggested option: “Keep the person talking in the center” … what do you do if 2 people are talking? Move both of them to the center…. Basically I’d like the people who don’t talk off to the sides.
Suggested option: “Keep people who have cameras on, in the center” Basically I’d like the people who don’t turn their cameras on, off to the sides
Figure: Move the people to the top with the option “Gallery at top”
