Update…Per Microsoft’s instructions, disabled all tracking protections in Safari and requested desktop mode and it works. Their instructions say turn protections back on after using teams… 😐
Funny enough it works in Safari and not Edge…tho that may be Apple’s fault since all browsers are somewhat just versions of Safari, last I heard…
I’m not a huge fan of Teams, as it lacks critical features that alternatives have. But I’ve never experienced anything that would make me say it’s broken. What exactly are you referring to?
If you are part of two organizations you can’t log into both at once, and switch between them. You need to log out and log back in. The way you test your mic and speakers is incredibly stupid and slow. It’s also a disorganized mess.
Never thought about that 2 organization’s thing. Really could be useful if you have a end client account or something, but truth be told the majority of users/companies don’t need it so I kinda see why they don’t focus on that. It would be neat to be able to do that though… For the time being I just use one on browser + one on windows app. 😬
As for the microphone thing, I have no idea what you all are talking about. I’ve been using teams since 2019 or so and I can’t remember than happening once… Not that I can remember anyways.
This is honestly the biggest problem with it and I don’t understand how it hasn’t been solved after years. Luckily it was possible for me to just have one organization and just communicate as a guest with customers but it’s still a mess. People that don’t use it that way in don’t see my messages when they are connected to another organization.
It’s sort of fixed via Teams Connect, but it involves admins setting up new B2B direct relationships alongside special Shared channels. But 99% of admins aren’t aware this even exists, let alone the end users.

I’m pretty sure that it has been fixed in the new Teams.
If you aren’t part of an organization, and need to join another groups team temporarily, its a complete clusterfuck. I’m not sure what exactly they are doing with cookies, but if you have to work with multiple teams, its shocking how bad it is.
Also, the chat/ zoom feature for video conferencing; I’ve never had it ‘just work’. There is always someone who has an issue getting it to function correctly. It regularly drops video or audio or both. I’m like, actually shocked that a company like MS can’t make basic functional software.
If you do a lot of B2B interaction as a guest tenant you cannot switch tenants without Teams being rendered inoperable.
Once you switch the client will continue to crash with the only recourse being to close the client and erase it’s cache manually.
It’s beyond annoying.
Most recently with the update to add “Teams Classic” as the package name. Now, then coming out of suspend, the client will randomly just be a white window, while still functioning as if it isn’t, so you accidentally click the white box and start calls. This also forces you to force close teams and reopen it.
Yes, Teams 2.0 is available on enterprise, however some enterprises are annoying about updates and will sit on the upgrade for several years.
Well, it’s not broken today but an update will break it tomorrow…guaranteed.
How about the fact it’s the only web all I have ever used that requires you to manually refresh it sometimes.
Like, it stops everything to show you a message saying “Please refresh my page thx”
