If you really want to torture yourself, try SfB on macOS. "Kafkaesque" is an apt term for all the truly bizarre ways it abuses you. My favorite recent thing - I'll hang up a call and randomly SfB will spawn about a dozen call quality survey windows for every call I've recently completed.

In our company, the SfB on Mac users have an issue where login variably takes between 5 and 30 minutes. Conferences are hilariously late because of this. Also, Mac screen sharing usually crashes after a few minutes. Sometimes calls get dropped and reconnnect just fails immediately with some weird error code until you sign out and delete all user data and log in again (waiting minutes). Chat history disabled. How we miss GotoMeeting... If Slack conferences were better we’d all delete SfB ASAP. No way in hell we would use Teams. There was an option of Slack vs Teams and we had a huge stampede into Slack, but still have to use SfB because that’s the only way we can make phone calls since our physical phones were removed, and Slack conferencing options are limited.
