Offers good background effects for video, and very light, smooth, and reliable

Compared to Zoom, which also requires a subscription-like Teams, Teams requires a stronger network for joining conversations and meetings. Ssometimes, there's lagging. Sometimes, there are call log issues. I think maybe the call log shows "bad network connection" even when the network is fine. Sometimes, if you have bad network connectivity, it shows automatically, and the call goes on hold. But when you're continuously in a meeting for one or two hours, screen sharing, or providing remote troubleshooting, sometimes the Teams call goes on hold. That might be something that needs improvement. So the lagging can be improved.
