Not sure if it makes sense to write a short status report here, but I want to give it a try.
OS: Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
MSTeams: 1.5.00.104534 (64-Bit)
- Switching between video conference calls let MSTeams crash or freeze in some cases. Mostly when accepting another video call switching back after that. This happens in roughly 30% of time. Having more than 2 calls (e.g. 1 active, 2 on hold), let MSTeams always crash when trying to switch back.
- Status is almost always wrong. Sometimes my own status is even shown as offline when I'm in a video call
- Sometimes message delivery is delayed, up to 35 seconds. Especially when having video calls and trying to share something (e.g. an http-link) in conference chat
- Sometimes MSTeams crashes without any warning when having a video conference and try to share the screen
- Sometimes ScreenShare is not working. I get a red border but none of the participants can see my screen. Restarting up to 5 times fixes this issue mostly. If not, I need to restart whole MSTeams application
- Sometimes an incoming call won't me mentioned. I can see it only afterwards in "Activities" as a missed call
Once those major bugs had been fixed, it would be nice if the Linux client could get the function of sharing the screen with system sounds instead of microphone (just as seen in Windows client, without being forced to distort my pulse audio to do so).
