    Sounds like it’s working great for you- I wish it would for me too! I’m not OP but some of my main gripes are:

    • Most calls have, for at least one caller, a wierd lag time where the call doesn’t start for 10 seconds or so

    • Quite frequently (I’d guess 5 calls a month) a call will be disrupted by teams failing completely for someone on the call (camera not working, not being able to join etc)

    • It uses a lot of RAM even when idling

    • It has hundreds of features, like “together mode” that bloat the software without adding to its core functionality

    • The UI is a confused mess, and the conceptual split between teams, channels and chats is messyat best.

    On top of that, I don’t find teams makes me more productive, if feels like a constant distraction that modern corporate culture requires me to have, even though its a net drop in productivity. This last point is more on instant messengers as a whole, but it doesn’t place me in a very charitable or forgiving mindset for interpretting Team’ multitude of flaws.

      We don’t get that lag but we do frequently get it when the camera doesn’t work for somebody.

      I really can’t understand the separation between teams, channels and chats. We almost never use anything other than group chats.

      We indeed never encounter the technical issues. A couple of years ago teams had issues with images in chats, but that’s the only technical issue i encountered.

      And yeah, it’s got the usual bloat, but it’s not hard to ignore all the useless features. But indeed, if you have issues with calls, that sounds annoying.
