I've been using this for a long time and it works better than the official client (which I use on another computer) because it has less bugs.
For example the official client has a bug where it will open chats in a separate window even when the user did not intend to (has to do with the first click being ignored while Teams it's out of focus, and the second click being interpreted as a double click). The unofficial Teams for Linux doesn't have this problem.
I encounter this on Mac most days as well.
Teams is the pinnacle of bad Microsoft design forced on to everyone, even if they don't use Windows.

Is always the response from Microsoft apologists. Why do I have to have different ways of calling depending on whether its a group or a chat? And chat calls don't alert the other person that you are even calling them? What a pile of shit. I know Slack also introduced shit huddles, because why not break something that already works, but that doesn't mean you have to copy them.
It's not always missing features, its that the UI is a series of papercuts.
