Why is the "NEW" Teams so horrible??

Within the last month or so we go the pop up to try the "new" Teams... The new APP is having so many issues!! We use it for conference calls, and myself and others are having issues where the notifications are not showing, or when invited to a meeting it won't let you "join". I keep having audio (microphone & speaker) issues which I NEVER had previously. I really DO NOT like it. I've switched back to the older version for now. I simply refuse to keep dealing with all these NEW issues with the NEW version! :( It's simply horrible!

    I have tried it but never even got off the ground.

    A) I cannot see ANY video at all. Others see me, but I cannot see myself or anyone else. I just get black rectangles where the video should be.

    B) All GUI text is blurred. But not always. It seems to vary with where focus is. I have never seen this effect on any other app. It makes it almost impossible to work with - even disregarding the failing video.

    I have tried scaling settings, I have made sure all drivers etc are up to date. So far no result.

    Unfortunatley, we have corporate roll-out so I am constantly nagged to switch to the new - horrible - version. Not good when you work remotely.

    We are encountering various issues in "New" Teams:

    • With Tabs on "New" Teams that brings in a list and Plumsail form. In "New" Teams, the list and form will not open, just sits blank. If the user goes to the SharePoint site or browser, there's no problem. We have no problem in the old Teams.
    • I see an issue where in old Teams, I could select/hover over the Teams icon and it would show members, settings icons, but in "New" Teams, there's nothing. This is extremely helpful if you are an owner on many Teams sites and you don't have to scroll through all the sites to find the main site to "Manage Channel" with "...". I wish that each location that has the "... > Manage Channel", it would give you the same info, but doesn't, even on old Teams.
    • When trying to switch between sites in "New" Teams, it won't change unless I select the "General" channel. Not sure if very slow or just isn't working.

    Yes, there are some nice new things, but I don't believe this is ready. Our users are just frustrated as they are prompted for "New" and then have to switch back to old. Is Microsoft trying to compete with the Slack updates and pushed this before ready? You have to wonder. Was their extensive usability testing?

    I can't download any files in the NEW Teams. Teams Classic works fine. Going back!

    I've had exactly the same issue regarding the video feed problem on the "New" Teams. IT at my work has also reinstalled Teams and the problem persists
