The official client is absolutely terrible. But, I've found a much better solution: I tell all my customers Microsoft Teams doesn't work for us and they'll have to pick something else.

Kudos for at least trying to address this, MS should hang their head in shame, this is not the hardest problem to solve these days. If we could do it in 1995 they should be able to do it 30 years later.

The web-based one works perfectly on Linux. If anything it's better than the native Windows app.

Office 365 actually works better in Firefox in Linux than any other browser in Windows. It's like they've kind of given up on the whole OS thing, and have just decided to go with Linux.

If by perfect you mean that you can’t have two chats open next to each other and toggling between chats is slow as molasses then yes.

Are you running it on a particularly potatoey PC?

On my fairly ancient Core i7-8700 I can have a video call open in one screen and be editing in Resolve on another.

No potato, quite the contrary, and it’s not that it hogs resources. It’s just slow within. I can also keep a video call open and do other things outside of teams. But doing any multitasking within teams is just a nightmare. Open a second chat while in a video call makes the video into a thumbnail. Searching through other chats to copy and forward into a third chat... Just not possible, because everything is modal and resetting the scroll location when toggling between. On top of that it’s just overall slow slow slow.
