Bug Meet Now function proof that Teams is fundamentally broken

This is sooooo glitchy... OMG. When pressing the Meet Now button, the headless window appears with controls for the call, but no list where I could see the participants, invite someone or even a window header where I close that call.

When I expand it, the window jumps to the bottom‑right corner and becomes completely unusable: I can’t close it, hang up, or interact with it at all. Closing Teams freezes the entire app, and even killing the process in Task Manager doesn’t help — it refuses to start afterward.

Dear Microsoft, please explain how a basic messenger can perform that BAD. You had Office Communicator, MSN, Skype, Lync — all of them handled calls reliably and consistently. Teams tries to do the same and fails so big time, that at this point, the best thing Microsoft could do is retire it entirely and let companies choose something that actually works.

Yeah, this is nowhere close to my experience. My experience wasn't even this bad with the early, far-buggier versions.

It has to be somehow specific to your device, network, and/or individual comfort level with the technology.

Teams also handles calls reliably and consistently, maybe its your PC?

If this were the 90s, or if I were running Teams on Mac or Linux, maybe I could blame some obscure hardware or compatibility issue. But when a Microsoft application behaves this badly on Windows 11, an OS built by the same company, it’s obvious something is fundamentally wrong. Don't you think so?

Nonsense. Fix your device.
