MS tries to do way too much with M365 Teams. Why is this application concerned at all about the details of my WiFi connection? What if I’m wired? Tattle then?

Teams has it’s own bug-addled system-independent audio settings too, and it completely broke compatibility with my Bluetooth headset device some years ago. Took forever to diagnose. MS can’t help but layer complexity on needless complexity in Teams while allowing this bloatware to continue to harbor extremely obvious and annoying bugs.



My biggest pet peeve - Ctrl plus shift plus v pastes unformatted but right next to it is Ctrl plus shift plus c which starts a call in whatever chat you are in. Also there is no way within ms teams to remove this binding. Wat‽


> Ctrl plus shift plus v pastes unformatted

“Paste with formatting” is a scourge of a “feature.” I can’t recall ever wanting to actually do that.


You should be able to capture this keybinding with autohotkey. I don't have my script handy, on mobile, but you can capture keys based on the active window. These keystrokes aren't passed to the active window, so you could have it take an alternate (or no) action.


Lol. Autohotkey on a corp machine


Lol. Following "corporate policy"; that's for suckers. Hacker mindset means you can't stop the signal, mal!


People are down voting you but this is very similar to the answer I got from a real employee (as opposed to a v dash) at Microsoft. Their solution was they use something called power toys, which is technically a Microsoft product.

Problem is I've worked at places where I don't have admin access to my own machine and it is more common the you'd think.


Are you sure that PowerToys require admin access to the computer? Most user preferences do not need that.


Does it just go by SSID or is it looking at the public IP address? If it’s just SSID I can just add an SSID of the same name.
