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 can’t stand the new teams—it’s incredibly unreliable and I have so many issues with the audio—on my 3rd issue today in as many meetings. Whatever has changed has made it terrible.

I agree. I am a graphic designer looking for work.I lost a job opportunity . I landed and interview via Teams, which I have used for years. I had so many issues with Teams during that important interview : logging in to "new" Teams, "old" Teams, camera and audio issues (I know how to enable camera and mic on my laptop), sharing issues, message box issues, etc., The interview was a disaster. I lost credibility and it directly impacted my chances of getting the job. I didn't know about "new "Teams issues, and neither did the interviewer, so the perception was I didn't know what I was doing and unable to use a simple communications app that companies use everyday. Requesting Zoom for all future meetings - if I ever get a job. Not a word from MicroSoft.

OK - after I couldn't use the "NEW" Teams for file downloads/uploads (which makes it a no-go for me) and switched back to Classic, after two months I figured I'd give it a go again after the bigger warnings showed up (not to mention I'm in QA and can't help but to test things). Well I barely lasted 24 hours before a crashed call and then when I needed to download my first file - I still can NOT download or upload files in the NEW teams. No way I'm the only one. So, I'm back to classic again and the "NEW" teams is still unusable for me. I'll have to have people email me all files I guess making productivity go down - the complete opposite of what Teams is supposed to provide. What a joke if they truly force us to "NEW" in a month.

I wish Microsoft would read this.

We cannot switch to new teams with the quantity of issues we find with it. We're going to have to switch to zoom or back to slack as a result. Microsoft needs to take this seriously. It simply is not stable. I share my screen and it works only some of the time. Often it crashes teams so badly that I have to kill it completely from the task manager, launch again (or pull up classic teams), rejoin the call and apologize to our client prospects for the flub which then is likely to recur if I use new teams again. We're losing credibility and it's having a direct impact to our business. Push the date to December 31st and work like hell to fix the critical issues or we will be part of a mass exodus in July to other platforms. From there it will start making sense for our org to reevaluate other Microsoft components in our enterprise.
