    My workplace unfortunately uses Microsoft Teams and last week I got a modal popup which said “Your organization is switching to the new Teams.” with a singular button “Switch to the new Teams”.

    No close button, no maybe-later button, and I needed to get into a fucking meeting.
    I quickly tried to remove the popup via browser tools, but it wouldn’t easily budge.
    I saw in the background that there was a toggle for switching, so I bit the bullet and clicked that button, hoping it would still work afterwards and if not, that there would be a toggle to switch back.

    It changed to a loading screen, then refreshed, and I was presented with said new Teams.

    What is new Teams? I still have no clue. They applied some slightly different CSS styling, otherwise it seems to be exactly the same.

      the removed like half of the features (including mic tray), removed ukrainian localization (which my mom relied on), removed the option to disable hw acceleration (which is borked with my specific gpu in chromium and results in extremely blurry text and ghosting artifacts) and switched to ms edge webview from chromium (so if you’re using windows and uninstall edge, it won’t start)
