I have an external monitor with USB audio, but no volume in macos there because reasons. It's hooked up to a hardware amp with a real hardware volume control. Every. Single. Teams. Call has a dialog box saying I might not be able to hear because I'm at 0 volume. And it comes back every single time the window maximizes. If I share a window on one screen, the teams call carefully placed on the other monitor helpfully minimizes to a floating window in front of what I'm trying to share. So then I have to re-maximize because I sometimes like to see the reactions when I'm sharing stuff. One person I call, I can't. He has to call me back. Every Time. It's not the worst video chat I've used. That's either skype or any of the pre-facetime real-video things that never really worked. But it's not good either.
