Didn’t they update Teams to a whole new platform recently and it turned out to just be a webpage rendered by edge?
That’s just the desktop client. They haven’t updated the mobile app and VDI versions and those were suffering problems too. It’s something on the backend.
Just azure being azure
Was it ever anything else? 4 years ago it was already a wrapped webapp.
This was last year, but they dropped electron for their in house chromium thing

So yeah, whatever this outage is has nothing to do with their webview stuff
I mean that’s not really any different from slack
Yes it is. Slack works.
Fair. Teams suck.
Oh yea. It’s been out years now and still feels like alpha software imo. It wouldn’t even be understandable if it was built as FOSS by 3 dudes.
The problem is that they combined three different pieces of software into one cheaply.
So it’s big, clunky and doesn’t often work.
Apparently they are trying to fix it, but we will see
Meanwhile, Skype* works well.
(*Not msComm/lync renamed Skype. We never mean that unless we say skype4biz or its codename Hot garbage)
Really? Haven’t had the chance to check it yet because IT doesn’t let our machines do the switch to the new one, but I don’t know how to feel about apps/programs doing that more and more…
I think the old one was only a “website”. The new one does feel better and faster (except, it sometimes crashes while in a meeting (lol)) But don’t know if it is “real” app or just JavaScript
Edit: if you go to Task-Manager, you see, that it is like one app and multiple „MS edge WebView2“
Mine has crashed every day during meetings now and 3 times it took the audio driver with it so I had to do a full restart before being able to re join
😄my coworker had this as well just yesterday, I believe, he had to react using chat in the meeting, lol, such great software.
Yeah it’s a web app with some native tweaks for performance and local APIs
