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

What's bad about it? I'm a Linux admin by nature but an admin of all by profession and overall I have no real complaints about Teams. Has always worked just fine for me and to my knowledge everyone else.

Slow, buggy, annoying interface, hogs extreme amounts of resources locally, can be used to spy on its users.

What's not to like? It's basically how Elon envisions X, an "everything app" that is actually good at nothing specific.

Microsoft spent billions acquiring Skype only for us to be left with Teams

Teams was a factor in leaving my last job. It was a small factor, but a factor nevertheless.

I am glad that I never had to use it, but I have heard many complaints in my circle. The most common one being that it changes one core UI or workflow every fortnight.

Imagine the plight of people who just want to get their work done and go home, only for them to see a tool critical to their work has automatically decided to update and now has a reshuffled UI.

Cannot help but feel that there are too many product managers trying to make their mark on the product.

Out of curiosity are any similar products actually good? My company uses Webex and frankly I'd rather use teams.

Genuinely the single worst messaging app I've ever used. Worse than Skype, which is crazy because Microsoft owns that too.
