Yeah, honestly my whole karma score is built from pithy comments about Teams.

Thankfully it no longer crashes Chrome all the time, but everything else is meh. I still can't tag people in Japanese. The security settings are a trap for poor quality system admins and checkbox checkers. The meetings crash, the screen sharing only allows one way (so no easy pair programming), etc..

I much prefer working with slack and google meet like I did at my last job.

Given that Teams doesn't work in anything other than Chrome, I would hope that it didn't crash all the time.

That's news to me; I use Teams on Firefox every work day and I see no issues (other than it being one of the very few sites which need third-party cookies to work, but recently Firefox has made it easier to add an exception for a single site like Teams).

I used to use Teams w/ Firefox but the lagging and other issues with video calls led me to using Chrome. Is that still an issue?

But it did crash Chrome all the time. I started runnung it in a VM so it would be less annoying when it crashed
