Microsoft Teams vs Whereby

• Scheduling - it's easy to integrate your meetings in Outlook
• Invitations - Since everyone in our organization is on Outlook, it's really easy to invite someone to a meeting and make sure it appears on their calendar
• Chat room / file sharing - it's easy to add files and links to the chatroom

• Whereby does not require any download file?
• We can easily join meeting with only two clicks.
• [The] link is short and easy to share. Unlike other software where [the] link is 30+ words.
• The emoji collection and response on the screen [are] very ideal.

• The app does not work well with apple products at all.
• The desktop application does not compete with other remote working platforms.
• The screen-share is the most inconvenient. While presenting you cannot share a single tab/window, you are forced to share your entire screen. There is a privacy concern.
• While presenting on behalf of a colleague, you will have to stop the presentation, mute/unmute then return to the presentation which is disruptive and unprofessional especially when recording.
• The members of the organisation assume guests have the capabilities they have, which guests do not. Microsoft Teams does not work as a social media platform and the guest feature should be abandoned entirely because it is most frustrating for guests.
• Guests invited to Microsoft Teams meetings cannot view multiple video cams while using a browser with a VPN service.
• The activity/meeting feedback window in the app itself is chaotic and can be better organised. I recommend data logs that can be pulled when needed.

• The paid version may have dial-in. But I have always used the free version. Dial-in is typically required for an "official" multi-purpose teleconference platform.
• I did have some trouble with larger groups (5+) when it was Appear.in but almost always use it for small 1-on-1 or 3 person meetings.

• A positive impact has been in having to save time for IT staff from not having to deploy other collaboration tools, since Teams is an all-in-one collaboration tool.
• Another positive impact has been in the ability to set permissions for different user groups. This helps to keep things more secure overall.
• One negative impact has been in the extra time it has taken to try and get users up to speed with using the platform. More formal training is required.

• In general, any sort of online collaborations saves a lot on your budget. The meetings are rather more on time and can be efficient and short.
• Easy to drop-by and have a small talk with clients/teammates within COVID era.
• The URL makes you look fancy instead of a random hash.
