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!

    Oh my goodness. I haven't had a program I regularly had to use control alt delete to get rid of and restart since the early 2000s. But now I do. This new UI is so bad it's almost like Microsoft didn't test it before inflicting it on America. Wow. What a fail.

    In my case after switching to the new Teams I wasn´t able to see the shared screen from others during meetings.

    I decided to switch back to the old version and now I can´t see the green-yellow-red status indicator in Outlook.

    I still couldn´t solve that issue. I reccomend that you never ever touch the switch in the upper left corner saying "Try the new Teams". You will regret it!!!

    I completely agree with you. New Teams is horrible! Org charts are harder to get to. NOT a fan.

    Yes, "uppdated" Teams should be called "downgraded". There are so many bugs, and inconsistencies. News updates, won't update etc. Big sigh.

    Agreed, they haven't taken the time to test the app properly. Out of laziness or stupidity, not sure but it's malfunctioning on the very basic things that I need to use everyday like having my camera on for meetings and calls. Absolutely waste of technology
