No. I'll never use such $Microsoft$-crap in my private domain.
There are Apple-solutions or even better FOSS.

Yes but in the corporate world some users don't have a choice!

Exactly. In the working world MS 365 tooling is pretty much ubiquitous.

Only partly, and only if you're a MS shop, and many places are not.
Zoom's massively popular and very good. Google Meet is still popular.

I use FaceTime for personal stuff, Zoom for work (werCOre dumping Windows, so work is mostly Macs and Ubuntu, Zoom works on both) and (ugh) Teams on the machines belonging to the Fine 3try Level Institution that I do adjunct work for; they go into shock at the thought of using something not from Redmond. I have no idea if Teams will work on Ubuntu or not; someone else can carry out the experiment.

I have literally never had a Facetime call for work.

Ditto.

IrCOve had some quick-and-dirty FaceTime calls for work. Official stuff is Zoom, but emergency rCylook at what some idiot did this timerCO calls are sometimes FaceTime. Especially if the idiot in question is a PHB and one of
my minions doesnrCOt want to have anything on official records about what the idiot did.

Teams: we hates it.

That said, I only use it on Windows machines belonging to a local uni that I do adjunct instructing for, as theyrCOre an MS shop. (Teams is the Official Messaging System for the uni; they recommend using Teams instead of email, texts, etc. This is not going down well with the students, especially those who have Chromebooks) I wouldnrCOt be at all surprised if Teams did (yet
more) stupid things on Macs.

The browser version of teams works on all platforms. Surprisingly well, actually.

My wife uses Teams in the Safari-browser on her Mac for her education
work within companies. She never encountered serious issues.

I do not like the idea but it is the decision of my wife and as long as
our network is not compromised I accept it to help her. I would never
use it under no circumstances in normal life.

It was a temporary glitch. Not seen it in a while now.

TBH It's say the MS 365 applications are far more stable on mac then
windows. Judging by how things go with my colleagues.

In fact it doesn't. My wife uses it with the Safari browser for many
years for her teacher work within companies.
