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 talked to many folks about Teams. I would recommend to Microsoft to follow the path of Zoom and WebEx so that operation of Teams works regardless if you have a professional account or an personal one. I talked to a colleague last night who has both, and says Teams get lost all the time. Drop the permission for work/school.

    I have been following online advice for two hours, trying to get Teams to show my chats on the left as it always (and conveniently) has. No luck. I have tried to switch to Classic as you advised. HOW??????? I'm real frustrated. What is My Chat, and how does one find it? I am beyond frustrated and wish I didn't rely on Microsoft Teams. A meeting I had scheduled for tomorrow has disappeared.

    Yes, but why is the control buried there? There's enough real estate on our screens to fit 4 or 5 small icon buttons to change this. The overarching theme behind most of the comments in this forum is the frustration MS customers are experiencing with some of these ill-conceived changes. It's driving us crazy and Microsoft doesn't seem to care. I've had to turn Automatic Updates off because EVERY update clobbers Teams. I have to reinstall my Teams each time. I lose access to my own meetings because I'm no longer the convener. I have to reschedule my meetings again.

    Microsoft: If it ain't broken, don't try to fix it!!!!!

    This is a nice marketing reply, but is not at all true. As others have expressed, the new Teams is not faster, more reliable, and more feature packed. Rather, it has gone the other directon.

    I used to point people to Teams regularly (as a consultant for Microsoft partner companies). No more! Now if a company is using something else, I don't even mention Teams because I feel like Teams is likely to be worse than what they currently use.
