Just when you thought in-car technology couldn’t get any worse, Mercedes and Microsoft have teamed up to put Teams in your vehicle.

      Currently-new Teams just closes itself on me. It’s a great feature for those urgent messages

        I had that problem on new new teams but not on new teams. Old teams works better on the company intra-net.

      Remember when Microsoft Teams disabled Emergency Calls on Google Pixel devices?

    ‘I’m driving’ is no longer an excuse for not attending the meeting!

    Mercedes says the Microsoft partnership turns your car into a “third workspace”

    Horaaaaaay, question mark?

      The people buying these aren’t the workers being forced into meetings. They’re the idiots who think meetings are the real work. So they can be in a meeting wherever they are without dragging out the laptop and pretend they’re the ones making money before they have an expensive dinner while they’re making the people who hate meetings work late.

    You have to pay a subscription to remove teams.

    this very much sounds like it shouldn’t be allowed

    it still makes no sense to me that you can get in trouble for glancing at your phone (not actually using it), but new cars come with a whole bunch of distracting touch screen tech

    Teams runs like shit, randomly crashes, and is sluggish. None of those things are what you want associated with your car.

    So, do I upvoted the post cause it really is an onion headline, or do I downvote because vomit?
