It works mostly fine. It’s also the application I use basically every minute of the day. ‘Mostly fine’ just doesn’t cut it.

When we’re talking about an IDE I can just bring my own, but for chat it doesn’t work like that.

That's a fair point. I think if I had to be on a chat/video app every minute of the day, I'd hang myself. For the average use that I have, it's fine. If I had to use it ceaselessly, I might have a different opinion.

Well, fortunately I don't use Teams every minute of my day. When I need it it works mostly fine.

Of course if you use Windows, on other platforms Teams works completely unreliably or doesn't work at all. But that is another issue. I gave up using Linux at work on bare metal and started using a VM (not only for Teams). On macOS it works but not as good as Windows (I have some coworkers that has a mac, they loose notifications a lot)
