Teams should change its name to &quot;You&#x27;re on mute&quot;<p>- Multiple windows, I never know which is the &#x27;main&#x27; window, which is the meeting window, where are they, which has focus<p>- Too hard to know which chat you&#x27;re replying to, who is in it<p>- Updates in chats are not consistently acknowledged, you have to change focus, and back again.
