I’m fine with using Teams for the actual scheduled meeting video calls.
It isn’t amazing — but has been relatively reliable for me. The app takes up too much memory, but Slack video calls have had a lot of issues also (although Huddles has improved things a lot).
My contention with using teams would be for team text chat. No thank you, it is terrible. I’d rather use Slack or really any alternative.
When these forced teams migrations happen, what I’ve seen most people do is some core subset of the dev team has an unofficial Discord, free Slack, or Telegram channel that they use for chat instead.
