Every update, some thing breaks. The “new” Teams does not work well with the microphone on my work laptop, I’ve had to resort to using headphones. The interface just sucks too. I hate that the left pane auto-hides now. So inconvenient. It’s not just Teams too. Every part of Office has broken for us during previous updates. I miss the times when Windows was just an OS for the most part and MS was not trying hard to be Apple.
Web based teams has worked better than app based teams for years on all of my computers. I haven’t touched the app in a long time at this point because i just gave up on it.
A customer wanted to used Teams couple of days ago, I couldn’t make it work on my companies laptop, trying three different browers. I just loaded an empty white page.
I had to use a laptop from another customer, that also use Teams, to do so, which worked, but gave me toothache, in terms of security.
Both laptops where on the same network and both ran Debian and I tried the same browsers, without any plugins and jitsi-meet works fine on my companies laptop. So apparently the system need to be specially configured for Teams to work.
I am staying with jitsi-meet, thank you very much.
The customer, I got the laptop from, knew what they did and provided managed Linux Systems for people to be able to use Teams.

It drains away too much resources too
if you like a feature that ms software has, and can’t bear to part with it, the only option is open source.
