Having said that, even though I complain about Teams sitting there with 100% CPU while doing nothing that appears useful, at least it does actually manage to do video conferencing full screen (3200x1800) within the limits of the Intel Atom in my current laptop, which is more than I can say for Google Meet, which was jittering all over the place until I made the window really small and switched off my camera.

The thing that consistently baffles me is how Slack, Teams, etc., routinely get demolished in terms of usability and performance compared to Discord. It's not like Discord isn't also doing the ridiculous "package a whole browser as a GUI lib" dance.

IT departments like to controll all app permissions using just Active Directory because it simplfies their lives.

Teams uses Active Directory, and they can argue it's "good enough".
