"Future Annoyance" is definitely the word. I know it's not just me because it hits our entire team all at once when something stops working. We deal with a lot of clients so we use Skype, Teams, GotoMeeting, Zoom, you name it. But Skype regularly causes collective "WTH!?" in our team. Skype devs seem to love moving things around without warning. Or putting features like "ring group" being an extra button after you "call group". Most recently they moved how you close a picture when you're in a call. Why they did this I have no idea. But I saw it catch multiple people on my team. Honestly, I'm tired of it. The cognitive load of all of this is too high. I have work to do. edit: I should add an observation. Whenever a feature is first changed or simply moved, it almost certainly means it's not going to work. Quality in this day and age is non-existent.

At my previous job, we used Webex Teams. It was fine when it worked, but it always had annoying bugs. There was a new release every month or so, and while the annoying bugs often went away, they were inevitably replaced by new annoying bugs. At my new job, they use Microsoft Teams. While I haven't experienced most of the problems being described here, I'm not particularly impressed. I did have to spend about 15 minutes one day trying to get a call to work with a coworker, because it kept totally locking up. I finally solved the problem by disconnecting my microphone, even though I had used it successfully earlier that day. Teams working again with my Samson mic, but who knows when it will poop the bed again.
