Microsoft Teams Requires Constant Workarounds to Access Messages and Answer Calls
Teams CT text requires a non-obvious multi-step navigation path to display messages, phone calls ring with no visible answer button, and concurrent calls leave one permanently unanswered. Users report spending more time maintaining the app than actually using it. The accumulation of small but critical UX and reliability failures makes Teams a net productivity drain.

A user forced to use Microsoft Teams for work reports having to uninstall and reinstall the app more than a dozen times, and is currently locked out of their account entirely with no resolution in sight.
