They should face The Hague for how bad Teams is. Currently I have the "option" to switch to "Classic Teams" (which needed to be a separate application because fuck-knows-why) via a toggle. When I do, it launches Classic Teams and freezes, requires another 2FA approval, or both. Then, it later closes and auto-updates to "New" Teams and I get to do the whole process again. And New 3DS Plus Teams 2024 ME+ Pro U has stupid floaty notifications that take up too much space and annoy me.

Thank you for listening...

Microsoft employee here. 👋 We'd like to address your concerns with our app. The separate "Classic Teams" application was created to ensure a smooth transition for users, while the freezing and additional 2FA approval are likely due to technical glitches or temporary server issues. Especially if you are using Linux or an unauthorized client other than the official Microsoft Teams, you may encounter issues like this. The auto updates to "New" Teams are crucial for maintaining security and functionality, and we continuously work to minimize disruptions. The notifications are designed to keep you informed, and assist the end user.

Regarding the 2FA process, it's a security measure to protect your account and sensitive information. We use it to keep our users secure and to safeguard their data.

Thank you for choosing Microsoft Teams, and please reach out to our support team if you have any further questions or concerns.

Thank you for the info. No, this was the official Win10 current Teams client!

But I do appreciate it. And it was brave to post here...
