> MS Teams is not easily usable from a meeting URL

Why not? You click on the link and if Teams is installed it opens the local copy. If not then you can do the call in a browser. What is the difficulty?

Last time I've tried it wants you to register and/or login, it sometimes loses the meeting in the process, you then are left with an application that tries to be Slack and you try to find the meeting in the app again, if you logged in to a different account than the invite to the meeting it gets lost etc.

But it might be different today, for those problems I try to not use Teams for some time.

Also if you use Teams all the time the experience might be different.

No. I have Teams installed, but if I click on a Teams link in the Teams app, it opens the meeting in the web browser. There was a decent stretch of time where it would go through a fail-loop in the browser before finally suggesting trying the meeting in the app instead, which wasn't actually possible because of the above. I'm really struggling to comprehend how messed up the development team can be to have a product as awful as that.
