The Teams Mac app is hot garbage. Every third or so meeting it will randomly hang, logout, hang up immediately, or even straight up crash when attempting to join a call. I’ve reinstalled it multiple times, cycled the sign in, all to no avail. And this has been happening for meetings throughout the entirety of last year! Zoom has never given me a lick of trouble and I use it for at least 10x the meetings. I try to redirect people away from Teams whenever I have the option to do so. Teams doesn’t work properly on Firefox - it doesn’t let you screen share or have any audio or video. Google Meet doesn’t have any problems - heck, Zoom’s web video call interface works great too. The only browser I can use Teams with properly is Chrome, and it’s literally the only site I ever find myself needing to use Chrome with. And then there’s the famous bug where Teams disabled emergency calling on Android… I mean, I know Microsoft doesn’t always prioritize non-Windows platforms, but they could at least pretend to try, right?

Yes teams sucks, but zoom web fails for me as well. After 10 minutes or so, my audio is disconnected with no way to turn it back on other than reloading the page.

Don't worry, it's trash on Windows too. From weird bugs like the Play/Pause media keys stopping/resuming the Teams call tune (even after meetings), to crap like clicking on images requiring a reload.

At least it's not webex.

  I used webex only for conferences but, unlike Teams it could do full screen display of the shared screen. In teams it is very important that a rectangle with the initials of your conference partner occupies half the screen. It's almost hilarious that Microsoft things that auto hiding things in Word or excel is ok (scrollbar, ribbon) but in Teams you are literarly forced to see every crap without the possibility to hide it (a big title/ menu bar, big rectangles with initials of conference participants). Teams is the worst screen sharing program i have ever seen.
