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!

    Can we delete the new Teams install or block it's use by renaming the install directory? Someone has to know of a registry edit to fix this.

    I was just pushed into NEW Teams. So far I cannot say anything positive about it and based on how I used Classic version - this version seems of no use to me. One of the features was notification when a message came in which is no longer a function based on my experience and talking with some other team members. I do not LIVE on Teams which means it could be hours before I would go into Teams and only then will I see a message. No longer a team tool for me. Someone suggested I carry my phone with me along with my laptop and when a message is sent I can check my phone and then go to my laptop to read - REALLY? Understand that as of March 2024 we will no longer have a choice between Classic and NEW.

    What am I missing?

    Guys, the New Teams is instantly worse. I can no longer see my calendar, chat, ebot options, etc. entire sets of functionality are gone.

    what are you doing? agree with other posts, it's slower and more problematic.

    Can't transfer calls to and from my work phone. Can't select between Contacts and chats. Can't pin to favorites. Can't maintain a call. Quality is worse, Chat option does not appear during calls to send links or other info.

    Just a bunch of "Cants". Entire enterprise switching back to Clasic.

    When I use Ctrl + F to search the search indexer on my local machine goes crazy. It did not behave this way in "classic". The general slowness I have seen from updates that prioritize "cloud". When you try to load My Computer/main explorer.exe folder viewer it will 1st waste your time trying to connect to an online resource then it loads the local resources you were trying to get to. They packaged that winner of an idea pretty close to the New Teams.
