The only advantage of teams is that it’s bundled with other Microsoft software. It’s worse than slack in every way. It’s a textbook example of a monopoly.
Teams is the absofuckinglutely worst
It’s the worst software product I’ve ever have been forced to use
I use it every day for years now because we don’t really have much of a choice, yet I haven’t had a single day where it actually worked as it would
Typically screen sharing is broken, the cam doesn’t work half the time, the first 5 minutes of every call and meet is always “can you hear me now?” because the fucking audio settings always get set wrong… sometimes it just dumps my browser in a loop that causesy entire computer to freeze, requiring a hard reboot, custom backgrounds never work
But all our customers use it because reasons, and it being a closed system, it leaves you with no option
Meanwhile Google meet (as evil as Google is now) just works. Zoom just works. Hell, the next cloud video calling system just works.
It might just be you homie, especially if you’re using it through the browser which is objectively the worst way to use any Microsoft product.
I use teams daily in a remote support gig and I rarely have issues with teams aside from MS changing shit for the sake of change. I get on calls daily without audio or screen sharing issues.
It’s not a good platform by any means, but I don’t see a tenth of the shit people complain about.
If you, for even a second, believe anything Microsoft tells you, you deserve whatever comes next
