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!
Managing sound and video settings during Teams meetings and calls for optimal communication

I know, right. Teams is the worse app EVER. Boycott!!
Issues I'm facing:
I reverted back because I couldn't deal with the issues as I need to be swift with my replies to my manager for short deadlines. However it's now auto installing the new one, giving me a unclosable pop-up telling me to choose between using the new app now or them auto opening it when the current classic one is idle (about 3 mins after the pop up). The new one is opening up blank, not even able to open. I'm on mac - I've restarted, cleared cache, nothing works. I am at a point where I am either forced to only email or use my phone for work comms.
Don't release an app when it's THIS BUGGY, test the damn thing. At the very least keep it beta and allow everyone to use the classic one until it's more functional.
My mistake, I pay $69.99 a year for Office 365 Personal. So many complaints about Teams, it must be a big issue. I will switch to Zoom for all my conference calls, when I can.
New Teams will not allow me to set open files default to "app" and I have to click around multiple times now to open in "app." It used to be so simple with old Teams. I looked up how to uninstall New Teams and go back to Old Teams but found a message that said we are forced to go to New Team in July. I really hope MS is listening to their clients and making changes before this is goes into effect.
Same issues with Teams. I have a subscription to Office 365. for Mac. I am a freelancer using my "personal" email account. I don't care about all the bells & whistles: "provide a faster, more reliable, and more consistent experience across different devices and platforms. It also introduces some new features and improvements, such as PowerPoint Live, custom backgrounds, and Teams notifications." I just want to use it for video meetings and share my screen to present designs. What do I need to do? What "teams" version should I use, and how to use it?
