Whiteboard and content sharing features are good

I would rate Teams's stability as a nine out of ten. However, some recent updates have made it less stable. I find it a little bit choppy. Sometimes, I find the network quality is not very good with low bandwidth. So, sometimes, when you have low bandwidth the quality becomes very poor. So, you have to optimize your usage.
