Huh, but you are in the same office?

Hi, Looking at a Teams collective call going on about a project I am not in (yet) the three people in it in the same office, two sit next to each other the third opposite. Why a Teams call? why share screens when you can look at your neighbors, possibly the only thing I can think, is it is being recorded but why a Teams meeting at your desk, we have break out rooms for that...
More than ten years ago, had heard from a colleague that her mother at home, once called her on mobile, to find out where exactly she was at home; not a big house, but just too lazy to search around.

Agreed. My teammate and I sit 1.3m apart and prefer to collaborate via screen share (no headsets, though. too much echo) 40+ year old eyeballs also are at play… and our furniture setup really does not work for two people unless you standup. (back to your lazy point)

Probably not the reason in this particular instance, but Teams now will create a summary of what was said during a Teams call. Not 100% accurate, but still helpful to get all the note down from what was said....

and then Teams will delete it....

Before video conferencing apps with screen share, they still did it with phones, even when desks butted against each other!

Reminds me of when the company decided to switch to team approach to everything. Out manager called me to his offce to tell me he wanted me to be a team leader. I told him we didn't have any real teams. He asked what I meant? I told him that real teams have cheerleaders, so could I interview cheerleaders and design their unifoms? H decided that I was unsuitable as a team leader, whch was my whole point. CQ de W5ALT

My back, neck and eyes (I have to use 125% magnification) really favor doing things from my own desk rather than crowding aroung the single monitor of a coworker. Add the fact that I can cross-reference with my code an my documentation when asked a question, trather than going back to my desk, seraching and returning (or yelling from one side of the office to the other)... yeah I do prefer teams meetings unless we are brainstorming or just aligning.
