At work Teams has been great.

Zoom is too bare-bomes.

The I hacked it together at 3am feel of the zoom interface makes me actively hate the damn thing.

Like teams feels like a communication application. Zoom feels like a hobby project.

Lol, I am the opposite.

  • Teams feels bloated and buggy.
  • Zoom is fast, can handle 100+ streams with ease, and allows mods/plugins to extend as far as you want, and
  • on zoom you can draw on the other person's screen while sharing.
  • On zoom, when a meeting starts I have a "incoming call sound" so I drop what I am doing and jump on the meeting. (I can't install on my work compy though... Sigh)

Teams has not implemented those basic features.

Teams definitely feels bloated, but having used it for years at my lost job, I can't say I ever found it buggy. The only issue I ever had with it was actually with my bluetooth headset sometimes not being recognized, but it was never clear if that was an issue with Teams, or Windows, or the headset itself.

The Outlook integration for planning and joining meetings was super handy. If there was some way to get email in Teams then I never would have had to open Outlook again. That would have been nice.

I think the features need a lot of refinement, though. Having threaded and non-threaded chats is clumsy at best. I found the threaded chats to be far inferior, and the inability to search for non-threaded chats was very limiting. Search in general was borderline useless.
