My single biggest complaint, other than it being an Electron app, is their insistence on changing the notification sounds seasonally. I do not want surprise Halloween music when I'm trying to start a video call with someone, nor do I want it themed. You can offer it, sure - I get that it's free, and they're trying to keep users on their platform - but it's just grating to me.

There is a setting to disable this.

User Settings -> Notifications -> Sounds -> Enable Halloween Sound Pack

Sure—but they remove the setting when it's out-of-season, and then add it back again—enabled by default—when it's that time of year again.
