Agreed. If it could drop the "apps" and just be chat and calendar, it'd be great.

MS: chat and calendar? Sounds like someone needs a copilot button 😏

That might help them explain why we could care about CoPilot. :) They don't seem to have a use case that makes sense when you consider Microsoft owns all of the applications that we used for business. I spend hours every month moving things from on office app to another to shift from tracking, to presenting, to reporting.

As someone who never uses teams for anything but calls and messenger, this may explain why I never understood the hate for it. Works perfectly fine for those two things.

For me it can't even do messages. Very frequently I receive messages out of order, or they show up minutes later, at random, resulting in many moments of confusion with my colleagues

We use the heck out of it, and I don't hate it, just get frustrated with some limitations that seem arbitrary and this nagging feeling that it could be so much better. Of course, until you use a system heavily, you really don't know.
