On MacOS there’s some phantom window object that gets created so that you cannot CTLR-<TAB> back to the Teams app. I believe the MacOS window bar indicates it’s “Teams Notifications” or some such thing. Basically these Electron apps are just incredibly poorly integrated in the OS.

Then there’s the painful markup capabilities when messaging. Oh if I paste in an IP address or something and then I want to style it as code, the backticks are ineffective since and pasted text somehow carries its own styling which apparently cannot be overridden. So the backticks just show up as literals.

Pasting large console output generally sucks as well. Out teams tends to switch over to Slack to paste big text dumps.



Teams uses their own terrible notification system (that's the purpose of the invisible window - it is actually the notification and becomes visible when needed). It's not even an Electron thing - Slack successfully uses macOS system notifications despite being an Electron app too.
