It's mind boggling how many features Teams Calls are missing.
It still does not have an "annotate" tool. Other features are good-to-have, but not being able to point things out in a shared screen is a deal breaker for remote work collaboration.
The biggest issue I have with Teams, Zoom, Hangouts is that I have to use all three in the course of the day and I can never find anything (mute, share, etc.) because they all have different design patterns (which change seemingly with every other release) so I end up hanging up on calls when I want to unmute myself.
Zoom has it but it's awkward. Slack has a very convenient crayon that just works most of the time and is nice for quickly pointing at things, but Slack calls still seem iffy sometimes. Who else has annotation?
You can format your post as a "quote", but that doesn't give you a true-pointer (e.g. you cant click the quote to go to the post, like in a Watsapp or Slack reply)
To add insult to injury its very clunky to quote and respond in the same post. You have to paste the text you're going to quote, then hit return and type your answer and only after select the text and press "quote" in the rich editor
If you don't follow that particular order everything (including your response) becomes part of the quote.
I'm ranting, but seems such a trivial thing to get right that it bothers me. And I need it everyday
Just type > before pasting the quoted text. But you have type some text in a separate line as a place holder of your own response before you paste your quote or else your response will be part of the quote as you just said.
In Slack I can type > to quote something, and a line break will continue the quote. However, pressing backspace returns to normal text
In Teams you're stuck on quote-mode
Notice that in Slack I don't need to use quotes for replies, as the reply-to-message works
Retraction as I write this after some intensive googling: apparently pushing shift+Enter twice in teama breaks you out of quote mode. So at least there's that.
