It has indeed improved a lot over the last 2 years or so and is now actually quite a mature product, as much as I hate to admit that about an MS product. My biggest gripes with it are its refusal to acknowledge you may be using multiple devices (to this day) and MS’s insistence that a person only do one thing at one time (can’t edit calendar items while checking a chat, for example). Their Linux app is a joke and I’m better off running it from Chrome. The phone app makes the WiFi interface crash constantly and I have to run it off 4G; it is the only app I have this issue with.
Which brings me to another gripe. Teams documentation insists that screen sharing on Linux is not supported, and sure enough you cannot see the option for it while on a call with someone. However if you are in a meeting (with however many people), the option magically appears and works absolutely perfectly.
Even if it exists, then it does not have to be good. Look at Microsoft Teams.
Microsoft Teams???
I also hate it but unfortunately have to use it for work.
It’s a stopgap but Teams for Linux at least gives you Wayland support, choice of seperate window sharing and background filters
Even if you look at Windows native version - it’s still trash. The chat client is disgusting bad.
I used browser when I had to use it
They made it basically unusable with Firefox, so unless you also want to install Edge it really sucks

Every damn thing?
skype > teams
It’s so horribly slow and resource hungry. It sucks a ton of memory, a lot of cpu. Every time I start a video call the cpu fan goes brrrr
That’s just Teams on every platform though?
Absolutely!
