You always have to open it in the desktop application to get an accurate representation of how the document will look.""I'd like Microsoft to start adding more AI functionality into Teams.""It's a bit slow, especially if you are downloading photos.""The user interface is slightly weak in Microsoft Teams and could be improved."
