Chat-based workspace in Office 365

About Microsoft Teams

Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace within Microsoft 365, which enables users to view and collaborate on documents directly within the application, participate in voice and video conference calls, view full conversation histories and email-style conversation threads, and more. Teams has replaced Skype for Business as Microsoft's online meeting solution.

Microsoft Teams can be customized to suit each individual team, with users able to create tabs for frequently accessed documents or regularly-used cloud services. Integrations with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, SharePoint, Power BI, Delve, and Planner are all built into Microsoft Teams, allowing users to access and collaborate on a range of files. Skype for Business integration facilitates video and voice conference calls between users, connectors can be used to pull in notifications and updates from a range of third party services including GitHub and Twitter, and the Microsoft Bot Framework is also supported, bringing intelligent bots into the team environment.

    I'm satisfied with my experience with MS Teams as it is helpful in collaborating across teams.

    Pros

    MS Teams is an easy-to-use application with great audio and video call facility. The real time chat theme looks unique with emojis and reactions. Large files can be shared and it integrates well with Microsoft ecosystems.

    Cons

    Too many updates makes the user experience unpleasant. The activity status of the user doesn't get updated promptly. The applications runs slow when accessed while being in a call or screen sharing.

    It is a bit frustrating to use as a newbie but I'm sure over time it will be better. We use it for screen sharing which is fine but can be laggy. Voice is OK.

    Pros

    It is a program required for use by my company. The texting function is good.

    Cons

    It is difficult to navigate. I was trying to call a contact on teams, and it took me a long time to figure out how to. I think it should be more user friendly.

    Workplace efficiency has never been better!

    Reviewed on 29/09/2024

    Pros

    By far, the best part about Teams is the ability to communicate with people at all times and how easy it has made collaborative work no matter where each employee is located. The ease of sharing files, holding calls, and sending messages is a leg above the competition. It has combined into one platform what I used to have three apps to perform. And I love that it fully integrates with Office 365!

    Cons

    It does not impact me directly, but I could see how needing a Microsoft account to log in could be a deterrent.
