I really don’t want to make a Microsoft account but many job interviews are held on Teams. I see that there is a web client which I will definitely use instead of the unofficial Flatpak for Linux.

If I create a Microsoft account with one of my privacy friendly emails (custom domain), would Microsoft start to receive the emails that that account receives? If so, would you suggest that I make a burner Microsoft account for this specific use case?

    Aaaah Microsoft teams, the single worst platform put there.

    Linux client mostly doesn’t work by not even starting

    Web client doesn’t understand the concept of two open tabs, it will always kill one and require reloads

    All tabs redirect Toa generic URL so if you’re in the middle of a call and the page reloads for whatever stupid reason, you’re out the call with no way back

    Camera randomly disappears and if that happens, good luck

    Messages many times say they are delivered but aren’t

    Many times the messenger simply doesn’t receive any messages anymore until you reload the page

    Entering into a chat room many times ands up with people.not seeing eachother, and everyone had to drop out and have to get back in to be able to communicate

    It always selects the one audio device that isn’t connected

    About half the time when I’m called I don’t get the call on my desktop, only on my mobile phone. I won’t be able to pick up and I have to call them back. If it’s a group chat I’m just fucked and I won’t be able to join

    Mobile Android app is pretty much just as buggy

    I had like 20 more issues and when I posted it back on Reddit on the Microsoft Teams sub most responses were “lol loser”

    Oh Microsoft you suck so SO bad, never change
