give me back messenger. at least it was a cohesive usable app.

teams is just a low budget email emulation machine that still fails to deliver a functioning inbox, much like outlook.

I'd rather drag my dick through HIV riddled discord memes then use that rotting pile of shit called teams.

The browser versions of teams and outlook are surprisingly stable. The desktop software for both are beyond broken.

I agree, though stability doesn't make an app usable.

True, but it's the only thing you can do if your company forces you to use them...
