Team has issues is the understatement of the year. A simple feature like screen freeze has been requested per use in the thread below hundreds of times...

"Between different messaging boards (including the link above) this feature has been requested over 2000 times (1044 times as of this writing on the link above alone). Could Microsoft chime in to let us know if this is going to be on the roadmap? Thanks."

The tool will say you are in the meeting but won't let you have access to the chat. A bug hitting regularly hundreds of persons.

I pity GitHub employees and would consider resigning :-)

Stagnant feature requests are the least of Teams' problems.

It's a slow buggy resource hog that crashes frequently.

Features keep getting added but until they address the fundamentals, all they're doing is polishing a turd.

I suspect that it’s a resource hog because it’s not fully native. Someone may correct me though.

Have you tried the web version of Teams? It’s not ideal, but I have found it to be more stable than the desktop version.

They don’t even have something as simple as a key combo to mute and other basic functionality (macos).

Why is this such a hard thing to get right? WebEx seemingly has 4 different mute keybinds, depending on the style of meeting you're in. It's worse than nothing because you randomly mash keys, making it look like you're not paying attention.

I am not trying to defend Teams, I hate it. But Cmd+Shift+M does that on Teams on macOS.

I was forced to memorize that keyboard shortcut because for the last several weeks Teams will randomly stop recognizing mouse clicks.

that's not true. CMD + Shift + M mutes and unmutes your mic. you can also press Option + Space to temporarily unmute yourself.

Nice, I can't even view the first link because I'm redirected to a stupid MS login and I have blocked scripts, not even a message shows, just plain black screen.
