Microsoft Teams (which I don't think many people use voluntarily) in particular breaks in stupid ways - and then in others if you spoof your user agent.
"This video is either unavailable or not supported in this browser. (Error #4000) " on twitch with new laptop

a link to the video would help with troubleshooting, seems like another case of "this site or this particular feature doesn't support firefox" otherwise report to https://webcompat.com/

Have any of you faced this? If the website is made to open only in chromium-based browsers, I am planning to report to Webcompat. But before that, I thought I would make sure from others. Any experience or quick fix would be appreciated.

Switching from Chrome to Firefox? Here Are Some Tips

Teams was a classic hellhole for me when I was using Linux. Nowadays it lets you in but Firefox genuinely doesn't support all of the features the Teams site uses. This means certain features are made unavailable to Firefox users. Forcing the user agent makes some of these partially work but they are also still broken so Mozilla doesn't want to enable a user agent override by default and Microsoft doesn't want to enable a feature that only half works.
This GitHub WebCompat issue serves as a good example history https://github.com/webcompat/web-bugs/issues/77892

Firefox Finally Outperforming Google Chrome in SunSpider

having recently looked at a firefox performance regression for filing a bugreport, tooling that tracks performance (quite publicly) sees attention, easy upload to share tracing profiles also helps: https://firefox-source-docs.mozilla.org/testing/perfdocs/ind...
Their dedicated blog keeps you posted if firefox perf is your interest https://blog.mozilla.org/performance/
If you have a particular website you notice chromium being significantly faster with, for an easy report, there's https://webcompat.com/ - though bugzilla is better than it seems when coming from github issues
