I find teams won’t mark messages as read. Like I’ll be focused on the chat and it’ll stay unread. I have to click out and back into it.
When there’s one of those horrible “teams” things with threads, clicking on a new message on the sidebar shows me just that message. No context. I have to click on the channel and find it.
The core problem is they have “chats” and then some other horrible thing that looks like channels but sucks. Maybe they wanted that to be like a message board? I hate it.
Most of my work uses “chats” instead, but that’s horrible. No discoverability. A thousand permutations of people in chats. One for every meeting. (Was that important message in the standup chat? The planning chat? The side chat with the three competent guys?). And no threads.
I never kissed a message with Teams. I never get alerts with Slack. I find out 20 minutes later when I notice that the unread category is in bold.

Just give me channels with threads.
