If you only use it to do video (optional) calls with a handful of people and share screens it is passable. I kind of like it for that, just a phone replacement with optional video and screen sharing.
Anything beyond that though, bleah.
It gets used as the in-house chat client at my place of employment. I work in a rural area in an old building so cell service is spotty at best, so it's handy to be able to shoot a chat to anyone instead of an email or walking over to their office.
I still prefer walking over to their office, calling via VoIP, or sending an email then using teams.
In my daily experience, the voice becomes choppy when a screen is being shared. It's the worst out of what I've used in the past.
what is beyond that? I only know about the video calling
Larger meetings where the wall of videos is wonky, mics have to be muted and unmuted, and the number of people with video on causes the connections to get choppy.
Chat rooms and one on one chats. Teams is basically Microsoft's version of Slack. Slack is sort of the corporate version of Discord if you haven't used it.
