Trying to play a video in a meeting results in 2009 levels of choppiness. It's insane.

Unfortunately, much better than Skype
It’s possible to be worse?
Oh fuck yeah. Skype used to throw errors when the advertisements scripts didn't run correctly. I remember getting dozens of pop ups when the ad changed to something new. To my knowledge, they haven't put ads in Teams, yet. They first need to kill the competition a bit; really set the hook before they reel you in.
Skype was a steaming pile for sure, but it had the ability to search for and message a distribution group and get an answer from whomever was available and I could pin it for future use. Now I have to know every name in a group and message them individually until I find someone to help or start a meeting to get everyone at once. It may just be how our Teams instance is configured, but I miss that feature. And who decided there should be a limit on how many people I can pin in Teams?

It sucks, it doesn't work properly in Firefox, so I have keep it open in a Chromium window too. This morning I saw new messages in my Chromium but not in Firefox until I reloaded the page. I wonder what other information it's keeping from me.
Is there any video chat service that isn't? It seems every single one has some glaring issue that makes it a pain to use. And it's not like I could just use a FOSS thing that's better; this is one of those things where you are kinda limited to using what everyone else you're going to be talking to is using. :(
