Using it on the browser:

- it's wonky

- 1 on 1 calls not always share the screen and I need to hang up, refresh the browser and call again

- translation stopped working both ways. Once a text is translated it doesn't go back to its original language

- it's a mess if you make a lot of group calls with different people. You end up having trillions of opened chat. I ended up pinning the main ones to keep them at the top and ignore the rest.

- code snippets are just awful. They are a box inside of a box and you always need to click on expand to see the code.

- music when you are on hold can't be stopped which can make you crazy. I always hang up or mute the tab

- group video calls don't have an option to see everybody in the same screen. Now it's like divided in pages

And I could go on and on. Discord is thousands of times better than this.

You forgot the worst one! When you copy a message in Teams, it "helpfully" adds a header so you end up pasting "[Tuesday 12:54] John Doe" into random form fields / your terminal / your browser location bar ten times a day
...I would seriously consider bytecode manipulation to remove this "feature" from the executable. And I haven't touched even assembly in almost 20 years.
My lord, that behaviour drives me mad.

The experience of using the editor for writing and editing is horrendous.

Oh Gods yes - this.

I stopped editing text in Teams. I wrote text in an editor outside of Teams, then pasted it into Teams.
