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

I keep a Teams tab and an Outlook tab opened in Firefox on Linux at work, and I feel like I have a better experience than most people using it on windows, which seems crazy.

Does your voice calling work ok in Firefox? My video calls start off ok but always seem to drop out after a short bit. I wonder if it's Firefox or my 30 privacy and security extensions lol

Yeah, our daily stand ups are via Teams (international team too) and it works pretty smoothly.

One oddity I’ve noticed is that when working from home and on (fast) Wi-Fi, it will hang for a moment and say the connection has an issue, but then be fine for the rest of the call. When I’m in the office in don’t think I’ve seen it do that.

I run teams in Firefox and it's fine. Audio and camera are stable for hours. You can use a private window to test if it's your extensions

I use Teams on linux on the desktop with no firefox. You might try that.
