Cool, cool. Spamming the hell out of users is definitly necessary to let them know it exists islnstead of asking them if they want notifications the first time they start it up.
They should just know there is a setting to turn it iff then, right?
I can't set my mic to be automatically muted when I join a meeting. I have to choose every time.
I can't adjust the brightness of my camera exceot for whatever 'Enhance' does.
Guess I'll just keep looking for settings when basic ones don't exist.
There are settings for notifications in every single app these users have ever encountered in both their professional personal lives. The basic understand for apps by users it that notification settings exist. They may not know that there is a specific option to turn one specific type of notification on, but they should know they can turn shit off.
I've never noticed an issue with the muting thing, It's a fraction of a second when joining to pick what settings I want for that meeting which does vary so it's helpful to have.
Brightness settings for Camera.. holy shit.. Light yourself properly. Ring lights are $30 on amazon, get one and look actually professional when attending your meetings.
Beyond the basic point that other video apps have had brightness settings for decades, saying to spend more money to fix the feature is asinine.
There is plenty of light for zoom, Teams is dark. When I go to a conference I'm not going to lug a fucking ring light around for a random video call in a quiet corner. Instead, they could just put a brightness slider in like a competent company.
It is impressive how hard you are shilling for Teams by excusing a lack of basic functionality.
No there isn't, if you have to adjust the brightness digitally the camera itself is not getting enough light based on what it was designed for.
Teams does have a brightness setting, it's just a toggle rather than a slider. If that still isn't enough, then you are sitting in a pitch black room. I just tested this, with every light in my room off, including the overhead and the direct facial lighting, the teams toggle is enough to make me reasonably visible in the light from my screen alone.
I don't need the toggle on at all with an overhead light on, and the annoying shadows from the overhead room light go away with my facial lighting on.
Here's a $21 clip on USB powered laptop ring light, https://www.amazon.com/Meyin-Brightness-Conference-Broadcasting-Streaming/dp/B0D1DTF7H6
Yup, there is zero gap between the sunlit oark that Teams needs to have a decent picture and a pitch black room. Clearly zoom is doing some magic by having a brighter picture even with the default settings, it can't just be Teams that is the problem.
