Barely coherent article in desperate need of an editor, making much ado about nothing. Teams is wretched; this hardly seems like it will make matters worse.

"Teams is adding a feature already available in every other meeting platform. Everyone panic!"

Its Teams--the meeting was a mess the minute it was scheduled using Teams

What meeting platform is not a mess then?

We use Google Meet at work. I would not call it a mess, but collaboration features are rather limited. It's one presenter typically.

Of course in Google docs and sheets many can edit at the same time and create a mess. But it's not really integrated to an online meeting.

The few times I have used Microsoft Meet I found it harder to navigate. Whether that's a real problem or just not what I am used to I don't know.

>Previously, only a participant sharing their screen on a Microsoft Teams call could make annotations, which allowed for quick and simple collaboration on thoughts, suggestions or ideas - however this ability will now be expanded to all users.

What's the difference between a "participant" and a "user"? Zoom has allowed anyone in the meeting to annotate since forever (there's an option to disable it though), and I haven't seen it cause "a complete mess".
