We just Skype for Business and Zoom at work. Both are just one click. Webex is also good. It's little confusing though (too many options). My partners use it so I have to also use it.
Maybe, you need to evaluate your teleconf s\w.

Our IT team has sent out a bunch of surveys trying to triage the cause of the intermittent issues, but haven't been able to result the problems yet. It drives us nuts though. And that's with the resources of a Fortune 100 trying to deal with it.
Glad it's working well for you, though. That gives me hope they can't get it working more smoothly for us eventually.
Switching to Teams has made life a whole lot better.
There are idiots who constantly take 15 minutes to figure out those teleconference software. Each and every time. I can understand taking 3-5 minutes extra the first time using something like that, and I can understand occasional technical difficulties.
What's not acceptable is after 2 calls still having technical difficulties.
For example, A year ago I started working with a driver developer who would constantly drop out of the teleconference after 7 minutes, without a polite "technical difficulties" IM or email. Turns out he was always calling in from within some kind of VM and always needed to reboot in the middle of the meeting. We had to get the manager to tell him to stop it.
Another example is that, a few days ago, I interviewed someone through WebEx. She took 10 minutes to figure out how to get her microphone to work. After 5 minutes I made up my mind that, unless she was spectacular, I wasn't going to hire her. (She interviewed very poorly.) What's extremely frustrating is that she didn't have the decency to just have WebEx call her phone, and instead kept me waiting for 10 minutes. That's just plain rude.
For example, if developers using Linux are asked to teleconference using tools built solely with Windows in mind, sometimes it will work with a VM, but often it randomly doesn't.
If I remember right, Intel used Skype for Business which as a teleconferencing tool was just rubbish. (Maybe it still is?)
Don’t blame the people when all you give them are shite tools.
Skype within the app is good, but if you use their dial-in numbers, it takes a minimum of 30 seconds to get into a conference.
