It works 95% of the time but it often takes 10+ seconds until everyone can see the screen.
I get your point, but teams is such a broken mess that I think the question is legitimate. Half the time it doesn’t even register my microphone even if Windows doesn’t have a problem with it.
Honestly, Teams works pretty much flawlessly for me. It’s a resource hog and some actions (like switching between tabs) are inexcusably slow, but it works pretty well 99% of the time.
Maybe it’s because I have a pretty beefy work laptop but I rarely have issues with Teams. I dread Zoom calls, though. The video quality seems worse and whatever noise reduction Teams has doesn’t seem to exist on Zoom so it sounds bad, too. Not to mention the ugly interface
That said I’ll take Zoom over webex any day. Thankfully Cisco is the only company I work with who uses it… And we make them use Teams when we host there meeting
It’s funny, I’ve very recently had pretty much the opposite experiences with the Teams/Zoom reliability.
I had and interview project, and and in about 50% (around 15 out of 29-31, something like that) of the cases Teams calls failed pretty much in the beginning due to some technical problem, almost always the problems coming from the other end, on 1 case something unexplainably went to shit on my end (suddenly no sound or video), and I think of my self being pretty tech savvy on the user side. We had to fall back to phone calls for those “It’s just Teams, no problems, I understand” cases.
In the Zoom calls, 5/5 worked without issues.
Wonder why this is such recurring issue. I mean, havent Microsoft poured hundreds of millions of euro/dollars into the app/infrastructure? Where is the money going?
Could it be the way the system was commissioned? My company designs and sells conferencing systems so I’m 100% confident it’s been configured correctly. When we “take” clients from other companies, we routinely find issues.
I don’t work on the commissioning/programming side of things (I’m in pre-install system design) so I can’t speak to the details. I just read the project close out reports sometimes

Fun Fact, Teams under Linux works way better than under Windows…
That’s the exact opposite of what I’ve read in most linux threads on here. Most people seem to complain about teams not working at all under Linux.
FTFY.
I use Arch btw.
me too…
Teams not working at all is already way better in my opinion
The PWA? Shouldn’t it work the same everywhere?
No, the arch package, i think they use the Debian one.
I tried it about 2 years ago and it was a fucking omnishambles on Linux. I presume it has improved since then…
