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.

We want a ‘Team Calendar’ tab to put on each Team ….. we want team members to make calendar invitations from the Team, not from their personal calendar… as it is part of the information of the team.
Microsoft Teams suggestion – Help me find the highlight and font color
I expect no-one uses these 2 buttons regularly like they do in Outlook and Word. Therefore I think if you look at the current status of usage, these icons would not be used that much. If you were to change them to look just like Microsoft Word I’d bet the usage figures would go up.
Please consider using the same colour on the highlight and font colour icons
When I message someone and don’t pay attention to their status (Busy, In a call, Presenting, etc.) I want the Teams Bot/App to reply with something like:
Adam Cogan is currently in a call and may not be notified of your message. If it is urgent, please click here to send the notification now.
This will be a useful feature so that we are made aware of the recipient’s status before we start pinging them continuously.
In China, everything is hard and amazing. Chinese users on an iPhone have no trouble downloading Teams.
Android users, talk about plenty of pain if they go down the wrong route.
Basically, they find it hard to download. The Teams website, tells you to download it via the Google store which is bad advice in China (all Google services are blocked by the Great Firewall of China 🇨🇳).
Here is one example of a senior developer:
It took me about 4 hours to install Teams, more specifically to download it
I tried to install it via Google services first, but obviously, it failed.
Then I searched and downloaded 3 APK files from my PC, but all of them are too old.
Finally, I installed it from Mi store (aka Xiaomi store).
In summary:
In China, no you don’t need a get on a VPN to get Teams downloaded. For an Android user, you have 2 options to install. You can install it via the Mi store or AppChina. The Mi store is the best approach – Eden Liang (from SSW in Hangzhou) has recorded a video to help others. Here is the video:
