While downloading a file from a Chat window Teams goes non-responsive. Should be async task and not block UI.

On Windows 7 Machine, Microsoft Teams notification stay for long time - 4-5 mins. Which was annoying for the users.

Desktop is glitchy slow and just plain not fun or nice to use. I removed it from my comp and use the app. The app is way more functional. I don’t understand why developers focus so much perfection on apps for mobile devices but when it comes to pc’s nothing ever works.

Expand desktop apps tabs.

In the desktop toolbar (left) there is 5 default apps, and a 'More Apps' ellipsis.

This is followed by heaps of whitespace below the ellipsis. The extra apps (or at least user configurable) should be put in here too.

This is particularly useful for planner, as you may be in multiple teams/boards but you want to look at your assigned tasks, to do this currently you need to do at least two clicks.

It's not the end of the world, but it is annoying.

Some laptop docking stations have graphics adapters that don't work well with some apps: disabling the hardware acceleration usually solves this. The Teams aop needs to support this as well - or if it does, make the settings much easier to find.

I believe that the user interface could benefit greatly from having access to Microsoft outlook that way I could perform the following all in one place:

- Discuss items in my teams
- Add meetings to my outlook calendar
- Add to-do's as per my task list in Asana
the follow on benefits of the above; and
- be able to send out emails based on the chat/to do's that have been communicated

To be able to not only pin chats to the top but also group couple of chats depending on nature of those to folders and have ability to pin them

When using multiple screens, Teams will sometimes "snap" off the viewable screen, where I am unable to move or see the window.

Closing and reopening the app via Task Manager does not fix it.

The only workaround is by going to a single screen and then it "snaps back" into the viewable area.

Within the desktop version, there is no indication that new items have been added to review... or new comments

The only communication is via email this would really improve the usage of teams

If you click the "Downloaded" popup on the bottom right a window should open bringing you to the item in Windows explorer.

This isn't complicated. Teams literally opens the downloads folder when that popup is clicked. Now you just need to have it highlight the item that was downloaded.

Allow file links (https://teams.microsoft.com/_#/files/<link_to_file>) to open in Desktop client when installed. This already works for channel links (https://teams.microsoft.com/l/channel/<link_to_channel>)

For quick start-up times, save state of last session.

Less blocking/waiting for main UI to appear.

Allow different aspects become useable when the connections become available so the user has something to do other than wait.

I have multiple screens.
I open Teams and then move it to another screen.
When I close Teams and re-open it, it then opens on my main desktop screen again. This did not always happen, in previous versions of teams it would open on the screen it was last on.

This behaviour seems to change from update to update - almost as if there wasn't proper version control going on.

Pasting an image into the chat window, and having it very slowly upload like a file is very painful and not user friendly. Please emulate the behaviour of consumer Skype when it comes to handling images.

Teams even said my 4.4MB image was too large... other chat applications just compress the image and don't complain. You can't expect users to be compressing their own images in order to be able to send them, it'll be a support nightmare.

Let me change my avatar from the desktop app.

Having enabled local synching of Sharepoint group folders with OneDrive for Business, it would be useful open the local copy instead of using the browser.
This apply to non managed files extensions (ie: .zip, .txt, .json, ...)
