  It's the devil's CAPTCHA, basically. And apparently you have to do it ten times in a row. Some evidence in the thread that this only applies to non-Edge browsers.

  This is insane. Who at MS actually thought that this was a good idea? How do they have a job!?

    Maybe the Teams product manager...? It certainly puts you off Skype!

    If Microsoft Teams can be around then I'm sure anyone could get a job there.

  This is so bad it makes me what to train a neural network to do it for me.

  This seems trivial to recognize & bypass with good old image processing without even having to use machine learning.

  Someone in the comments said you have to solve TEN of these to get in?! And if you're visually impaired, "they want you to listen to 3 songs and then decide which one is the saddest. Then do that 9 more times" https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/rv17yn/this_not_a_joke_this_is_real_skype_account/hr32ax4/ https://old.reddit.com/r/ProgrammerHumor/comments/rv17yn/thi... https://prnt.sc/25u6wgx https://prnt.sc/25u6wgx
