What has been broken for months is viewing images. When I click the thumbnail to enlarge it, the image viewer appears but the image doesn’t load. Rinse and repeat 3/4 times and I can eventually see the image. Other members of my team experience the problem. I cannot fathom why MS has not prioritised that bug fix.

One colleague who’s on a modern desktop with an i7 and 32GB of ram waits the upwards of 20 seconds to load a conversation.

In the past couple of years Teams has sores in popularity and perhaps the dev work has been focused on scaling. It’s clear to me MS need to allocate some developer for getting the fundamentals right.

Can confirm.

All the complaints people have here are about experiences I've seen myself: images not loading, resource-hungry to the point where anyone who needs to run Teams with another app (eg to screenshare) needs a non-Microsoft laptop, sidebar full of ancient chats, pants notifications, pants reauth flow.

It's brutal, coming to Teams from Slack. It makes you sad.

I run into the incredibly annoying image not appearing problem dozens of time per day as well.

One interesting thing about being based on Electron is that they've made the bugs cross-platform as well - the image loading bug happens just as often on the Mac version as on the Windows version.

Interesting! I get this on the Teams Preview for Linux (CentOS 7) all the time. It is infuriating.

Other than that, I sometimes need to reboot to pick up my Logitech webcam correctly, when working at home.

Otherwise, it really seems pretty decent. This is on a 2019 Razer Blade 15" with 40 GB dram.
