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!

    Our latest issue with the new Teams is application crashes when in a meeting where attendees are using their cameras. In a recent meeting, four attendees had this occur repeatedly, every 10-minutes or so. They had to go back to Teams Classic in order for the meeting to continue. My guess is that everyone else was already using Classic.

    We've been told that this was a known issue and that an update would be released any minute now to resolve. We'll see.

    The new teams is ****. To begin with removing the Contacts from Teams is ludicrous. This is supposed to be a communication tool. Why remove the Congacts list? That is absurd. It makes it so much harder to quickly see who is availble for a chat and go straight to them.

    I will use the old teams as long as I can or consider moving to Zoom. Or I hope there will be soon a plugin or hack to bring back the Contacts list.

    I am having all the same issues as reported by others. The NEW Teams has very poor performance and is basically a disaster. I had a good experience with the previous version (B+) ......the NEW Teams = D-

    Super unhappy. Slower, Less reliable, freezes frequently. I do a hard reboot to correct almost everyday. It is especially horrible with sharing screen or documents (previous version was no issue).

    Too bad NEW and improved is not only not an improvement but a a significant downgrade!

    It truly is a disaster, but I'm no longer surprised. MS seem to be living on a different planet, 25 years in the past and with no access to the Internet to read the users' feedback... Alternatively it could be ignorance mixed with arrogance towards the users, who knows...
    The Search is shockingly outdated, several features removed, they claim a better performance yet, apart from double the size of the Classic I fail to see ANY improvements.
