I’m convinced that a lot of the problems with Teams is your installation and the servers behind the system.
Teams was widely used at Whole Foods when I was there (I left in August of 2021), and that’s not a small company. And it worked very well. Better than any other chat/video conferencing solution I had seen to that date.
Now that I’m working at AWS, I’ve used Slack more extensively, and I’m still not convinced that it’s a better chat client. Maybe. Maybe not.
Internally, Amazon and AWS primarily use Chime for videoconferencing, and it’s getting better. I think Teams is still a lot better in that role, but Chime is catching up.
I have hated on Microsoft since at least 1984, if not before. And I dearly loved the early days of Skype. But even I must grudgingly admit that Teams is not a horribly bad solution in these spaces. Less bad than most others I’ve seen.
