What I love about being remote and/or being on a geographically-distributed team is when someone sets up a (usually) #MSTeams meeting and fails to ensure that the meeting has a dial-in number. It's like, "cool: I can hear the call and I can see the video presentation, but, since my laptop's microphone (and camera) is disabled, I can't actually provide spoken responses to questions directed at me".
Two meetings in a row where the call was set up with no dial-in.
Also, why the fuck does #Teams not offer the option to turn off the freaking gallery?? I so don't need to see the other people on the call if they ain't talking. And, if you must show call participants, how about showing only those that enabled sharing from their cameras. It provides zero value and sucks up useful screen realestate showing me participants' initials especially if they aren't talking.
Every time I use Teams, I'm reminded of why Microsoft is able to include it free with their O365 accounts.
I'm a software developer working in the #video streaming space. Specifically, I've been working on Media over QUIC (MoQ), #WebRTC, and other "ultra low latency" technologies. I write #PureScript, #Erlang, and #Rust at work these days.
I'm still living the #RemoteLife and now work for a distributed London-based company from the woods of #Michigan.
In my free time I enjoy #hiking and playing games with my family, and playing with radio waves.
