My laptop battery life drops form 9 hours to 3 when teams is open. At this point it should be considered harmful for the environment.

I went looking for an alternative client but as far as I can tell it doesn’t exist. I would love an extremely lightweight (even CLI) implementation I could use for chat and kick up the hog sized full client for calls or whatever.

Yeah, who cares about the rest of the world...

I meant, in North America. I don't know how widespread Teams is outside the Western hemisphere, sorry.

Myself, two other Australians and the guy from NZ resent this.

Sydney, Aus. Been down for a few hours now.

Yep someone I know had to revert to the telephone (which is a better UX always anyway :-))

I don't have a desk phone, so email was first option, nipping downstairs to visit them was the follow-up option. Face-to-face interaction wins the UX wars - although it can be a rarely available option.

Widespread here in Japan, unfortunately.

Given MSFT's track record, they should just go home for the day.

It's certainly widespread in Australia (and I assume NZ).
