I used this app a few times in college... It SUCKS. It's so slow, choppy... I really don't understand how Microsoft is really bad at making web app... Probably with the exception of Vscode...

Really annoying considering skype works well (or at least used to, haven't used in a while) and MS bought skype...

Yeah, Skype has sucked for quite a while now too.

As someone who loathes Teams...you should try the new version. It was, supposedly, rebuilt from the ground up. It has a lot more pop-out features, supports multi-org, and I can even be using pop out windows from one org while actively in another.

That said...Teams is still pretty shitty to me. Even if it's leagues better than it was. The shitty keyboard shortcuts alone kill me.

Okay here’s my fucking beef though- there are FOUR DIFFERENT VERSIONS of teams that can be installed, team classic personal and work, and the new teams, personal and work. If you install 2 of the four, the OS is incapable of differentiating between them. Opening meeting links on your calendar in teams for work will sometimes open it in teams personal(why does this even fucking exist??)

So at best you have to join as a guest, at worst you can’t join at all.

And they PREINSTALL the dogshit personal version on windows 11, which doesn’t even allow you to sign into a work account- it says account does not exist.

Anyway Fuck teams

it's just a trillion dollar company, I think you have to take that into account. They obviously don't have enough resources to release excellent products.
