We moved from IBM Connections and WebEx to Sharepoint and Teams. I still think Teams is terrible software[1] but I’ve learned there’s definitely worse software out there.

[1]: the 100% CPU, the fan noise in the background of many peoples calls, the 500-2500ms lag between clicks and a screen update, the UX disaster of teams vs chats vs private channels, etc.

Amen brother. We had webex in my previous job and we needed to install a libpurple plug in for pidgin to make it work...just the chat. The video most of the times worked, but it required quite a lot of button clicking and was a separate web application .

Teams in comparison is heaven video and chat together... Wow. Of course it eats processing power like hungry, is slow and requires thrid party cookies.
