The Teams webapp is by far the slowest and most buggy of any video chat solution clients have asked me to use.

In one browser my mic works, but I cannot see screens shared by other people. In another browser it is the reverse. Also it is designed for WebGL which is not available on my OS and the software fallback takes 30 seconds to load and is slow as hell on a beefy 32 core Threadripper.

Jitsi, Meet, and others work flawlessly by comparison.



That, and also invitation system is a trash fire. URLs are long and gnarly, there is no alternative "meeting number" that could be spelled/typed in, then there is this "context" thing that changes based on attendee being internal/external to the org. And of course you can't join as guest, only with your full AD name/email. Say hello to phishing and other scams.


They did add meeting numbers recently at least.

perhaps joining calls from a convex combination of browsers might give you the least-worst results
