On a regular basis I use Teams, Zoom, and Jitsi for video conferencing. Teams isn't the most troublesome of the set.

In big companies like GitHub people don't typically choose their own video conference platform. It's picked for them.

It's a better deal than paying for Zoom. At a time when expenses are being cut it's hard to justify paying for a competitors platform.
