I use Teams for work. I also use zoom fairly frequently for calls with firms who use that instead. Honestly for video calls it's very much of a muchness, though I do wish Teams was a little bit less resource heavy (having said that "new" Teams does seem to be a bit of an improvement on that front). They both work pretty much as well as each other for straight video calling, they each have their quirks but I wouldn't say either is particularly better.

But as you say Teams also has text chat integrated with the company directory, and much better integration with Outlook etc. It's gradually swallowing SharePoint as well from what I can tell (which is no bad thing).

The product in this space I really dread having to use is WebEx.

Maybe i'm the only one bothered but... Teams has no way to see more than 4 people together on screen unless you use the horrible "together mode"? Isn't that bothering anybody else?
