Skype is dead in the water, has been suffering for years since the push to Teams started. Teams behaves a lot more stable in an enterprise environment, whether that is by design or neglect I'm not sure.
Teams is still woeful in both performance and features. Whilst you can easily drown in noise on slack, you are deafened by silence on teams. It is so difficult to discover channels and topics on Teams compared to slack, that I'm not sure there is a way to do it without being explicitly invited by an existing team member.
If you are using the mobile app then just lol. You'll always be seen as "away" even if actively engaging in discussions, and you'll be thinking you're caught in a time-trap with regards to accuracy of statuses and messages.
And my final rant is the pathetic conflation of "team" and "channel" nomenclature. The fuck is wrong with just calling them channels?
Teams is also pretty snappy for the first month or so. But once you use it for about 8 months, it's just so painfully slow; it will take multiple seconds to switch channel. I suspect it's because they use sqlite under the hood for storing messages and have some bad queries or bad indexes.
Teams is a horrid, horrid product that eats tons of memory and has no history to speak of (takes like 15sec to load previous hour - on 300Mbit up/down connection).
Dealing with large html paste is not even a bad joke. Making incoming calls on the phone, while chatting with another person on the pc is beyond any reason.
Okay, try this one out. During a Teams call, open up the PulseAudio Volume Control application, which allows the volume to be set differently for each different application. Teams calls itself Skype.

Teams is based (used to be shared code) on Skype For Bussiness, and it was designed to work better in office environments. A while ago they were struggling with the opposite- working over slower unreliable lines.
