Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐

Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…

    I’ve been using it daily for two years and I’ve had pretty much nothing but problems. It’ll sit in the background and sleep or something, and then I’ll get five hundred messages dropping in all at once. I put teams on my work phone on the side so I can see if someone messages me.

    Sometimes messages don’t come through on the PC client, but they can be sent from it, meaning if I look at a chat on my phone it looks normal, but on my PC it looks like I’m talking to myself.

    Video calls make all the shadows in the OS flicker. There’s a lot of shadows now, never gave them a second thought before.

    The app has a tendency to spontaneously log me out during things, and then refuse to log back in unless I reboot.

    Sometimes it doesn’t detect my camera or microphone.

    Sometimes during calls the buttons stop working. If I’m sharing my desktop, I can’t stop sharing. If I’m muted, I can’t unmute myself. If my video is off, I can’t turn it on. If I want to close the rubbish and restart, I’ll need to go through task manager.

    Not a big fan.

      I’m wondering what kind of PCs people are using? I’ve never had most of your issues and I’ve been using teams pretty much daily for the past 3~4 years.

      Not saying teams is perfect. UI is an absolute clusterfuck and it’s kinda heavy…

        Heavy is due to it running its own web server in the application (electron). The issues are more so due to the OS and how the company manages patches. Or firewalls/routing. Migrating to a new VPN appliance when my company was purchased brought up a handful of similar issues. Solution was trash profiles set in the VPN appliance.

          Humm, I’ve had HP Elite Book (don’t remember the model. GC something.). No issues whatsoever. It’s so weird. I know Microsoft has a bad rep but I was under the impression that overall teams was good.

            I’ve colleagues for whom teams works just fine. I think it has a vendetta specifically towards me.
