I am curious, because the Teams hate is pretty substantial here, what are the reasons you hate Teams. I feel besides it's Microsoft (!) and it is a resource hugger plus why tf do I need a second app telling me I have a meeting besides the main one (outlook) it's okayish? Maybe because I was never allowed to try alternatives? Please, tell me

I miss Skype. I think Zoom is better. It just worked in the browser, on a Linux host. The dependencies for Teams is icky to me.

If possible: grab a router and install OpenWRT onto it, and turn it into a wireless bridge. Use the router to connect to the office WiFi, and have a wired connection to your laptop. Turn off the laptop’s wifi for good measure.

Alternatively, if work provides hard lines, bring your own router and turn off WiFi to provide a protected hardline.

There are many ways to prevent the computer from realizing what network you are on.
