How can we make Microsoft Teams better?

Answering button blends in too much

Answering button blends in too much, the decline button is much more appealing to click when there is an incoming call. A green answer button would have been much better from a design perspective. Green answering buttons are consistent, familiar and rich in contrast.

    Make the answering button Green and BIG, the refuse button Red and small. I'm used to click the right corner of my screen with popups… so please, place the answeringbutton to the most right place :)

    Adding my voice - the hang-up button should not be more prominent than the answer. Or at least let us switch the colours.

    Don't forget the problem for people who are colour blind.....Red and Green would appear the same......the

    Also the size and placement of the hang-up button draws too much attention leading to accidentally hanging up a call.

    Several members of our team very much do not like this about Teams. They have consistently hit the hang up button. I hope Microsoft either changes this, or gives us the option to change it.

    i can't believe we need to plead for this. microsoft - you lost the phone battle - please just copy what everyone else does and make the button green

    I am drawn to click the brighter-colored decline button. Why? Is blue a better color for some reason? It's interesting that Android uses green, but Teams does not.

    For those that remember the game app "Don't Press the Big Red Button"... We were actually trained to press the big red button. We need to be deprogrammed... Make the answer button bigger and bright green, and the decline button slightly smaller and darker red.

    Also suggest moving the accept button (and green) the right side as the pop-up appears on the right side of a desktop screen, your eye naturally moves right to left.

    The UI should be optimized for Accept.

    Yes, I keep declining calls because of this. Please make the buttons a different color.

    I totally agree with that. The "Reply" button disrupts the reading flow. Why don't you offer this option with a mous over?
