It looks like the issue is region specific. While I was getting ""Operation failed with unexpected error" when trying to Join a meeting via invite, my counterparts in Europe were able to perform authentication and join meetings without any issues.

I am in central europe, and it doesn't work at all, so perhaps it's just pure luck (or pure bad luck?) when it works for you.

Right now it's just "Operation failed with unexpected error." and emails with invitations seem to be broken (either not sent or miss some important parts).

"Operation failed with unexpected error" is a fantastic military mission codename.

MS is so bad with error messages these days. "Oops something went wrong" and a "funny" picture of a dropped ice cream cone. Just tell me what is actually happening.

I find those cutesy error messages just make a bad situation worse.

Error descriptions are probably too much to ask these days - I would bet they'd be perceived as intimidating by the UX group, given that the same group seems to prefer a level of discourse appropriate for grade-school classrooms.

A error code would be wonderful, though, since it would be a nice unique search term. It could be put in small greyed-out text in a bottom corner, too, to make everyone happy.

two year anniversary of this https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=27641010 are there any new updates on this rewrite?

They are previewing a new version at the moment, it's quite a bit quicker and can switch between organisations very quickly too which was always a pain in the old version.

Germany: Joining a meeting with invite URL worked for some colleagues, others could only join after the the group chat called them directly.
