That’s all.

EDIT: Thank you all for detailing your experience with, and hatred for, this miserable product. Your display of solidarity is inspiring. Now, say it with me:

Fuck Microsoft

Well, I'm a unix guy for 30 years and hated M$ bill gates blablabla and forced to use windows at work etc. Teams was somewhat bad at the beginning, especially start of covid pandemic , I'm using Teams multiple times daily for ~5 years now. But since ~1 year it handles video call pretty nicely, 20+ feeds, share screens, whiteboard, etc. it's pretty stable at least, don't crash anymore, and we can have multiple accounts. It took times to reach this state I agree...

In the past two years, I have had horrible issues where it decides that I'm not allowed to join the call because I have a Teams account logged into a different organization, that it won't let me log out of. An issue where Microsoft servers just time out if you have ipv6 enabled, etc.

Don't get me started on Skype for Business. It's still around.

Oh yeah, that multiple organizations things absolutely fuuuucks me since I'm adjunct at multiple universities/colleges. It keeps trying to default me to a place I don't even work at anymore and somehow still refuses to let me leave it without reinstalling Windows (which I won't do as I'll be moving to Linux full time once I do).

Teams are losing parts of text chat conversations for me. Not sure if that's issue of their PWA on Linux or just an issue in general...

PWA in Linux is unusable yep, with FF or Edge, super buggy.

I'm using Teams in Windows, I have a software KVM to move between my Linux PC and work windows laptop
