It’s such a depressing product that has become an industry standard. Shame on all of us.
Everything else either requires installing an app, using a browser other than firefox, or making an account.
It has a weird habit of grabbing my phone microphone when I join from my laptop, but other than that, it’s good.
(FD: it didn't work on either last I checked, which was 4 months ago because I migrated my org off Teams 4 months ago;; I'm not willing to check if thats changed, but not having support for years is equally unacceptable, I don't care if they've improved in your eyes now--- TL;DR: inb4 "IT WORKS NOW")

what is it even doing? both should be instant
mIRC opened instantly on a 1995 PC
It’s was just painful, and then I saw that the account holder is Microsoft. Is this correct?
That’s like a messed up version of Apple’s ‘it’s 75% faster’ graphs but with more of your time wasted watching a video showing how bad they were and and still are.
Microsoft excels only at stealing existing tech, doing a horrible job at it, rebranding it as their own and then engaging in predatory litigation to try to steal the rights to it. I mean they aren't the only ones who do that, but at least make it better in some way
1) Slow UI. Doesn't always show the latest thing I've typed unless I leave the chat and come back to it.
2) Constantly nags me that I am muted. Close the window and it pops up another one.
3) Notifies me of completely irrelevant things like a person was added to a meeting as if it was a chat message.
4) Meetings and calling seem to rely on some kind of peer to peer system that can break horribly with out anyway to diagnose the issue (e.g. works differently depending on how you access a meeting or call).
Try open a Word doc. The layout is screwed, or is it? Online Word, the app and Teams all show it differently.
Try drag and drop a document onto it on a Mac - that’s broken (may have been fixed in last update).
Try have the app respond in less than 3 seconds after a click, on a gigabit connection.
Try download a large folder from Teams. Good luck - it will crap out.
Every day is another paper cut. I don’t have a better platform to go to but I do wonder if a network share and any other chat app would replace Teams, and we are looking into that.
