It's the only program I regularly need to End Task and relaunch. If I turn my camera off and back on more than 5-10 times, it just starts crashing. Very frequently, others can't turn their camera on at all, but only in Teams. There's constant confusion about which Teams client people are using since Classic, New, Android, iOS, and web all have their own different bugs and missing features.

I think it works most consistently as a web app, but then you're missing a boat load of features.

Good luck! You'll need it.

Looking at the browser’s developer console, you’ll notice that upon startup Teams makes so many goddamn requests (i.e. sends or receives data) that the goddamn Microsoft server tells it to shut up (i.e., sends a 429).
