Microsoft Teams calls are getting end-to-end encryption in July:
Microsoft Teams is getting better security and privacy next month with the addition of end-to-end encrypted 1:1 voice calls.
While Microsoft Teams already encrypts data at rest and in transit, it allows administrators to configure automatic recording and transcription of voice calls.
Due to this, Microsoft Teams calls are not suitable for sharing very sensitive information that should remain private between two individuals.
Starting in July, Microsoft Teams is getting end-to-end encryption for 1:1 VoIP calls so that their discussions remain entirely private.

OK, I run the Linux client, which is way behind the Win/Mac client. That said, I have fewer problems with Teams than with just about any other conferencing software.
Each one (and by now, I've used them all) has its quirks. Each one offers some nice feature, and is missing something else.
It's a bit wild out there - company X uses Team's, company Y uses Zoom, company Z uses Webex. While it's frustrating, the huge positive: this is competition at its best, and is driving all solutions forwards.
Everyone is somebody else's weirdo.

Teams is worse than you give it credit for being.
The workflow of mashing together private conversations with every-single-meeting I'm invited to is awful. It's an endless struggle of muting and ignoring conversations so I can keep up with work I'm actually trying to focus on. Unlike a real chat application, I can't prioritize personal conversations to keep work going. I can't even group my "meetings" into a box I check less frequently. Teams is highly disruptive to my work and I don't plan to use it for anything but meetings.
Lync was bad, but at least it was SIP based so you could use Pidgen.
