The Teams UI on a Mac seems like a horrible abomination. Using it as a guest I have 45 sec startup time with a blank screen, no UI pieces visible other than a logo. I have lost the chat function and it is nowhere to be seen. The workspace is confusing. I could go on. I hope it is better on Windows, as on the Mac it is terrible.

Teams is just using Skype for teleconferencing under the hood I believe. Unfortunately it has been terrible quality for my distributed team in comparison to other options. Results definitely vary!

Teams actually works well for us too. My only complaint is about startup time and the consistent 2 or 3 second hangs that happen when I'm typing things sometimes.

So for the n+1: For us there are lots of problems. Bluetooth headsets seem to make it nondeterministic if and how sound works. Sharing and videoconf have sometimes extreme bandwidth problems. People aren’t getting into the conference sometimes.
