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.

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.

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.
We will not edit your comments. However, we may delete your comments, or cause them to be hidden behind another link, if we feel they detract from the conversation. Commercial plugs are fine, if they are relevant to the conversation, and if you don't try to pretend to be a consumer. Annoying endorsements will be deleted if you're lucky, if you're not a whole bunch of people smarter and more articulate than you will ridicule you, and we will leave such ridicule in place.
