A good communication tool with a poor UX, too many features and bad notifications

Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is used mostly by every department in the organization for communicating within the company (voice chat, video chat and text chat). On that aspect we can say it kind of meets the expectations and address the problems of staying in touch given the COVID-19 situation.
- Good audio quality.
- Good video quality.
- Possibility to share your entire screen or one specific app.
- Better UX/UI.
- Improve Bluetooth connection stability.
- More responsive.
- Reduce the number of clicks to do actions.
- Reduce the number of notifications.
- Give more flexibility to users.
- Get rid of documentation tabs, or make good text formatting options.
- POSITIVE: We can communicate with each other without having to be at the same place, so we save on plane tickets sometimes.
- POSITIVE: Meetings can be recorded, so people who missed it can view it at a later time.
- BAD: People chat more instead of speaking and quality of communications decreases.
- BAD: Teams documentation is badly formatted, hard to find and hard to edit which results in loss of time.
- BAD: Teams often has issues, so we often have to wait for people to solve the issues before we can hold the meeting which results in loss of time.
Personally I'm not a fan of applications that try to do everything. I prefer software that are dedicated to one topic, for instance Adobe PhotoShop is a vast and complex solution for editing images.
I think Teams offers comparable quality in terms of audio, video and text chat to software like Skype or Zoom. However, when compared to Jira for planning and Confluence for documentation, Teams doesn't even compete.
