Microsoft Teams vs TeamViewer Meeting Formerly Blizz

• Video calls are great with Microsoft Teams. They've made big improvements over the last year and I rarely have issue with getting on. It's nice when things just work.
• The most used functionality is, of course, the chat feature. It does what it's supposed to do and you can create chat groups from whoever you'd like. We use it a lot when there is a special project and a team from various groups get together for a short period of time to get things done.
• An overlooked function is the ability to search anything within Microsoft Teams. Any photo, document, or chat can be searched and found pretty easily. I can't tell you how many times this has saved me from having to rewrite something or start over.

• Very effective linking of different devices. Easy to join from anywhere/any device by just entering the meeting ID.
• Minimal, intuitive interface that takes very little getting used to. I skipped the help section and still figured everything out within a couple of minutes.
• Pairs with Outlook so you can view all your existing contacts from within Blizz. Really saves time and stops anyone being missed out.
• Can support up to 300 participants.
• Reasonable pricing structure. Free for personal use and still good value for the higher-level packages. You can also add local numbers for free.
• Live text chat for use during a meeting if you have something to say but don’t want to interrupt the presenter.
• A secured connection so there are no issues sending sensitive documents etc.
• The audio and video quality has always been excellent (although I’ve come to expect this from any conferencing software nowadays).

• Found a bug where Microsoft Teams suddenly drops during an ongoing call even if there is no network issue from either end
• Screen sharing is also buggy. When we share our desktop screen on MS Teams the taskbar disappears and it's difficult to navigate through apps.
• There is a limit to PIN 15 chats a favourites. This count should be increased.

• I tried adding new people to the meeting and if they are not already part of my contact list, I could not search for them easily during the meeting. There were no error messages when searching for non-existing users in my contact list. I expected a message stating that no contacts were found.

• I think it has allowed us to leverage our Office365 more effectivly since all of the apps are synced together.
• It has really allowed us transition away from more formal webex meetings and have a more free flow conversation.
• It also gives us a more direct line to our manager if we need there input they can easily join our team chat.

• Using the Blizz app for my growing business, I’ve saved lots of money just from not having to spend on gas to meet in person or spend on getting other more expensive apps.
• Eventually, as my business grows (partially also thanks to Blizz), I’ll have to upgrade the app, but the upgrade doesn’t concern me, as I’ll still be saving more money than I was before having Blizz.
• Since communication is made easy with this app, it also saves me time - time that can now be spent investing in my business.
