> Will the setting icon be three dots?

Multiple hamburger menus with a scattering of cryptic icons stuck at arbitrary places on the screen. What does the swirly icon with up arrow do? No text label for you!

Oh and let's move the next button to the top left of the screen and not highlight it. Mmmm that's some good UI design.

Might be a coincidence, but that's a weirdly accurate description of MS Teams.

Not mentioning about the wording (at least in spanish) is awful too.

It is also a good description of Mac applications last I used Mac back in 2012. Only it wasn't hamburger or three dots but one or two gear icons.
