I am curious, because the Teams hate is pretty substantial here, what are the reasons you hate Teams. I feel besides it's Microsoft (!) and it is a resource hugger plus why tf do I need a second app telling me I have a meeting besides the main one (outlook) it's okayish? Maybe because I was never allowed to try alternatives? Please, tell me

I miss Skype. I think Zoom is better. It just worked in the browser, on a Linux host. The dependencies for Teams is icky to me.

Because Microsoft, and just the constant little BS problems I'm always having with it. Which are probably a result of being subjected to Microsofts shit QA processes. They're always changing shit with it while the problems that have been there for years keep occurring. Also my work decided we don't need actual desk phones because Teams calls work just as well (they don't).

I don't think I hate teams for the same reason as most on this site. My gripe is the stability issues. Just at my department alone there are 20 different issues per teams. Some range from buttons working after a few presses to teams just bsod the device. On my laptop teams has a memory leak and which is persistent. I have to clear teams every week or it will not even start up anymore
