Had to install a quarter of a gigabyte of Microsoft Teams for a video conference that should have been a Zoom or Meet. Went through the login process, and already convinced that this is a horrible POS.

It is. I use Chrome to run the web version of teams. Yes, I have to run Chrome, but I think it's better than running the actual Teams program, even if I have to click on the "yes, I want the web version" link every time.

The only time I've had thermal shutdown of a laptop (and some physical damage from that) was with Teams. Somehow it had launched three of itself. And it while I was teaching a week-long programming class. So as my poor laptop was recovering, frantically installing just enough to teach. It was pretty embarrassing.
