Of course it looks like shit though. It doesn't size to your screen, it looks like normal teams but really small.

Outlook works in the browser fine, and maybe I don't want to have teams on my personal phone but occasionally want to check things

Unsupported doesn't mean it won't work:

This is what unsupported means.

I agree, but it's unsupported in that Teams "doesn't support" the mobile browser, not that the mobile browser "doesn't support" Teams. Perfect example of a deceptive dark pattern.
