Microsoft Teams - Excellent Collaborative Tool
We use Microsoft Teams for all internal communications among coworkers across the organization and it has proven to be a useful tool for exchanging documents. When we're in a hurry and need to see each other's screens, the screen sharing tool has come in handy. It's especially important for team members because they work in different locations. In comparison to other products such as Jabber and Webex, this has been the best application I've used to date.
- It has a presentation mode, video recording, and the recordings, as well as the transcripts, are stored in the cloud.
- Microsoft Teams is simple to set up and manage. Excellent quality for video and phone calls.
- I also like how it connects to Outlook so you can view your calendar there.
- Switching between presentations and screens is a bit difficult.
- It slows down the laptop. When I turn on my laptop, it takes a long time for Microsoft Teams to load and I don't have to click on it to access it.
- There should be an easier way to send recordings outside of your organization other than downloading from Stream.

Could do better
Microsoft Teams has become the main communication channel in our team.<br>It offers many advantages to the old and sometimes bulky classic emails.<br>The integration with other Microsoft Apps is good (not great) and offers many possibilities to make Teams a central hub for information exchange.<br>But the new pest after 'Reply to All' mails are new Team Channels popping up with every Project or Task. This can cet very confusing and hard to search for a specific bit of information or document buried deep in some random subchannel in some subfolder.
- removes the pain from scrolling through endless long mail threads with mail signatures taking up most of the screen space
- quick way to reach out to colleagues via message or voice call
- integration with landline phone
- share documents with certain colleagues or external partners
- sometimes choses the wrong microphone (internal instead of headset) resulting in bad audibility
- new version 2 lacks some features from old version
- often it doesn't ring in the mobile app

Teams makes Teamwork efficient and fun :-)
We use Teams on a daily-basis for a wide variety of meetings: internal and external. Sometimes in group, sometimes 1-1 (with only two participants). The Teams chat and the screen sharing features are almost always used. People turn their cameras on most of the time, and mute themselves when not speaking. Some participants join from their mobile device if they are not at the office or at home at the time of the call.
- Screen-sharing capability
- Team chat
- Force-call attendees who are late to the call
- The polls functionality is hard to find
- Presenting a document and seeing people's faces is not easy
- Muting a participant requires multiple clicks

Microsoft Teams is a nice collaboration tool, we use in our organization as the main collaboration tool, we use it for chatting, meetings, inbound and outbound calls. The tool helped us move away from using soft phones that constantly cause issues with phone calls and now we have integrated our own phone number and we can receive and do calls. This enabled us to low cost by removing the need of 2 different software and cost of license per agent/user.
- Setting up meetings and record them
- Integrates natively with Outlook and one drive/Sharepoint
- Create teams channels for specific tasks/projects and the conversation will be backed up along with files.
- When you download files, the application can lag and even crash, this portion needs to be improved.
- One to one calls cant be recorder unless you set up a meeting.
- slowness when opening a file in the app, like a excell sheet.
- Add meeting reminders when the meeting is about to start similar to Outlook.

Microsoft Teams is used for audio calls both internally and publicly (PSTN); group meetings with audio/video/screen-sharing; chatting with contacts; and team file access.
- Audio calls both internally and publicly (PSTN)
- Group meetings with audio/video/screen-sharing
- Chatting with contacts
- Providing present status of team members so that you know if colleagues are available or busy
- Providing call health settings to identify the round trip time and percentage of received packet loss
- Multi-organization account access is poor because it requires logging out in order to switch accounts
- Lacking presence status and file access to account that one is no longer logged in to
- Add ability to import a customized avatar
We use Teams for daily communications. Without Teams, we would be left without a means of communicating our ideas and concerns.
- Provide a means for chatting with other members of our team
- Schedule teams meetings without need for a 3rd party app
- Create teams groups to disseminate information
- Teams meetings frequently drop calls and needs to be re-dialed.
- Searching for words in Teams is not the best.
We use Teams to facilitate online meetings which are either on-one-one or with teams/squads.
- Great user experience
- Chat functionality embedded within each meeting
- Well sync'd with Outlook
- Can crash every now and then
- Camera freezes - need to fix this defect which seems quite regular
- Mobile app video call experience is lacking

We use Microsoft Teams daily in our company. We have 2 branches and several remote employees across the country. Microsoft Teams keeps everyone together and on the same page. When used in conjunction with Sharepoint, it is like we are all in one place. We are able to share files, share our screens, we can plan meetings to happen on Microsoft Teams or quickly jump into a meeting if we need to address an issue quickly.
- Microsoft Teams Meetings are easy to set up
- Collaborating on specific projects
- keeping track on where we are on projects
- I would like to have an IT version where I could actually use Microsoft Teams to remotely assist end users with IT Issues.
- I would like to have subgroups within a larger group with out having to create another group

Amazing software for team management and collaboration
Microsoft Teams is used for conducting online meetings regularly and helps us to connect with each other virtually. It is used across the whole organisation. Video conferencing becomes easier and with a variety of tools and options that come with Microsoft Teams, the group discussions feel just like an in-person conference.
- It is very simple to use and setup.
- Lot of options available for the organisers like Breakout rooms etc.
- It has a user friendly interface.
- The feature of notifications in the mobile application could be improved. Sometimes notifications of different teams are not visible and are only visible when the application is opened.
- It uses lots of computational resources while running and thus, slows down the system sometimes.
- It allows a few channels per team. The number of channels could be increased for better productivity.

One of the most used team Collaboration software- Microsoft Teams

We are using Microsoft Teams for Team collaboration. We are using this tool for meetings, team catch ups, remote happy hours etc. Microsoft team is most widely used collaboration software. It has different applications for project management as well. We can manage task boards to track the progress of tasks, we are also having regular training sessions on Teams. Everything is super easy to use. No special training is required to use it. It's connected to Microsoft 365 applications. It's not that costly as well. So it's suitable for all the companies or individual use cases.
- Virtual meetings
- Project Collaboration
- Remote Connectivity
- Availability - These days there are many Microsoft outages reported throughout the world. Something needs to be done as soon as possible in this case.
- Notifications are little less user friendly and needs some improvement
- Noise cancellation feature is excellent but not that user friendly

Marvelously Terrific Microsoft Teams
All team members use Microsoft Teams for communication and collaboration, to set up meetings, to conduct presentations to store and share important documents, etc. We find the application meets all our requirements, as it's easy to use, convenient, it's simple to take on board new enhancements and our capabilities are increasing all the time. It's a Godsend, and we couldn't cope without it. Its seamless interaction with other Microsoft products helps too.
- It makes it easy to collaborate in meetings.
- Its brilliant as a presentation tool.
- Its great for storing documents and works brilliantly with Sharepoint.
- It could be a bit better connected with outside applications.

At my company, we use Teams primarily to instant message one another across the entire organization. If you need a quick answer it is preferable to email. We also use it however to store and share documents. It is also great at taking and organizing notes. It also has task board functionality.
- Integrates with Outlook and SharePoint
- Instant messaging
- Stores documents and notes
- Hard to tell if someone is actually "away"
- Missing some Lync functionality
- Hard to find in SharePoint where docs are kept

We implemented Microsoft Teams a few years ago and starting adopting it as a replacement for Microsoft Skype for Business.
In the beginning adoption was slow and it was hard to get our staff and clients to move over.
However when the Covid Pandemic started we kept on sending out client/user comms about the features of Microsoft Teams.
We suddenly saw major adoption of Microsoft Teams and I can say this is one of the best collaboration and unified communication tools out there.
We use the Teams Channels for our Team collaboration and work. Sharing documents with users that need to work on it at the same time really works well. I have seen over 400 users work on a single document at the same time and we had no issues.
The Teams meetings work really well, Virtual Backgrounds are excellent, and is a major improvement compared to Skype for Business.
Finally, the multiple integration options with other apps, or the online web access functions are really great features. You are able to do everything in the Teams web app you can do in the desktop app.

- Really good online meeting and meeting collaboration experience and tools
- The Teams web function works really well and I sometimes prefer it over the desktop app
- The additional add-ins available makes it truly great
- The chat functions in Teams need some refinement and should give user options to move the Chat function to a more traditional IM style window as well. I know there was movement into the direction but I still thing improvement would be needed.

We use it to conduct inter-district training via video link. We also use it to communicate over the internet, and provide the team with data and required materials.

Microsoft Teams is being used by our organization for virtual meetings, sharing files/documents, and chat purposes. This software is used by our whole organization. As due to Covid we are all working from home, it's very necessary to get connected and all information shared should be private so it helps us maintain proper passage.
- We have a daily huddle over Teams.
- Teams allows us to share any file and it helps to create different channels where we can upload our file so any new joiner can easily find documents.

Microsoft Teams Pros and Cons
My organization switched to Microsoft Teams a few years ago. It has some great collaboration features. My favorite is to documentation repository for Teams to access and create lists. It has made access to documents across the organization easy. I do wish Microsoft Teams allowed notification in a List. For example, I created a list to track issues for a system, Microsoft Teams did not send a notification to the recipient when a record was added. I also wish it allowed assigning multiple recipients to a record.
- Creating a document repository such as meeting minutes, document sharing
- Creating a list for any purpose of tracking
- Ability to call and connect to personnel
- Access to organization calendar
- Ability to add multiple recipients to a list
- Notification via email when a document is uploaded or a record is added to a list
- Ability to clear out chat permanently
We currently use Microsoft teams as our internal communication and collaboration platform. From having team channels, to team/individual calls/meetings and notifications to integrate with other tools. It is giving us a place to easily share/store files with our team and others in the organization. It does also give us a way to have meetings internally.
- File sharing and storage
- Organized channels/chats
- Small group/team video meetings
- Larger team meetings and events (audio/video quality isnt the best and not user friendly)
- When creating a teams channel, it should have a check to make sure another distribution list or email isn't already created with the same name
- More levels of access so changes aren't dependent on overall admins
We use Microsoft Teams as our primary collaboration and communications platform with various departments of the company. It is also used for building teams' documents and providing a centralized location for document repository and a bridge to the Microsoft SharePoint document repository.
- Collaboration Tool for chat service
- Collaboration tool for Virtual meeting rooms and virtual video conduct meetings
- Use as a primary desk phone call within the organization and also outside the organization (vendors such as Microsoft).
- Provide better call quality on cellular network
- Facial recognition when speaking with zooming in on the person capabilities.
- Integrate better virtual whiteboard capabilities such as sticky notes for Scrum meetings as an example.

Microsoft Teams is used as the internal communicator for chatting and scheduling meetings. Since it’s integrated with Microsoft Outlook, it very easy to schedule a meeting from Outlook and share the Teams meeting invite automatically. It also supports group chats and group calls which helps to instantly connect with team members other than scheduled meetings.
- Chats and calls
- Meetings
- Group chats or discussions
- I can’t really think of anything
