MS Teams were able to address our connection with our colleagues who are not able to use our current platform since it is a competitor of the client they are supporting. Being in governance, I need to be able to reach everyone where ever they are located so this is the best option I have.
- It does not consume to much bandwidth based on number of participants
- It has easy navigation for use
- It can work on mobile
- Provide more background choices during meetings
- Have an easy access button for help options
- Provide description on the icons available on the interface

I use Microsoft Teams as my workplace communication tool in a large healthcare organization. I can communicate quickly and effectively with my supervisor and fellow colleagues about confidential customer data and know it is secure. It is easy to connect with colleagues working at branches in different Australian states. Professional development webinars, held live across multiple Australian states at regular times, are easily supported on this platform with over 30-40+ users watching a single stream at one time. Integrates well with Microsoft Outlook which is used concurrently at work.
- Real-time updated Microsoft Teams status of other users (i.e. immediate status changes of 'online', 'away', and 'busy' amongst all healthcare organization computers).
- Integration with Microsoft Outlook is excellent - workplace meeting invitations accepted on Outlook will synchronize with Microsoft Teams automatically and allow easy viewing (e.g. accepted Outlook invite to video teaching session will be integrated into Microsoft Teams calendar).
- Aesthetically pleasing and user-friendly interface - easy to initiate workplace 'chats' with staff present on a particular day.
- Integrating a crop tool to edit screenshots sent over Microsoft Teams would be useful! Currently have to use the Paint app first.
- Having a wider range of GIFs and emoticons available for use on the platform.
- Intermittent problems with connectivity soon after password changes for 2-3 days. Requires manual login however Microsoft Teams soon synchronizes with the new password.

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

We are hybrid model. Each one of us can schedule meetings, calling and video conferencing each other at no cost to us. When we are in office, Microsoft Teams are instant messaging system. We use it to evaluate our project and high five to those who have done a great job. It makes us feel appreciated. What's more, we are a team and that feels good. It saves our time. We become more transparent to each other. We are staying connected more than ever.

We used this program the most during the pandemic period. It helped me to connect with my teammates in their internal work when working from home.
- Easy connection
- Clear picture and sound
- Time to time it gives login error even with correct password.
- In cases where there is more than one person physically present in the same environment at a meeting, you cannot individually lower your voice.
- Why can't we create a channel?

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

In the chatbot. The messages were not aligned to all the viewers. Like whom is the 1st, 2nd and so on. Because there were times there's a game, on my view I was the 1st. But on others, I was not. I wish all the messages are same in all users/viewers.
- good quality of audio and video
- tools that needed during meeting
- sync in my calendar schedule
- easy to use
- sync of the same alignment of messages in chat box.

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.

- 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.

I use the system for complete communication within the company and for dealing with external customers, it is also used to plan and manage my diary. Sales calls are made using teams as well as being used to run online training and workshops. I use the chat function to communicate none urgent information to my team.
- Connects internal teams.
- Diary management.
- Chat function is great.
- Could have different calendar views.
We use Microsoft Teams for our day-to-day collaboration. All of my meetings are held using Teams. All my team members have been working from home since the pandemic and Teams is our lifesaver. It provides really cool interface with provisions for sharing files/tasks/calendars/whiteboards, etc. It has an Office 365 button that allows us to easily navigate/share mail/access SharePoint, etc.
- Chats are easy to manage and include an easy search option for retrieving previous chat history
- Whiteboards have tasks which can be shared with a group
- Video call quality is excellent, I hardly see any glitching
- Sometimes pings are not instantaneous, especially when there are more than 100 participants in the Teams meeting
- Gets hung up once in a while when the system is loading
- Some headphone/Bluetooth connectivity issues. I turn on my Bluetooth just after receiving a Teams call notification. Sometimes the audio doesn't switch to Bluetooth and sometimes the sound is completely lost after connecting the call. In both cases, I had to completely reboot the system.

Microsoft Teams has become essential for me
What don't we use Microsoft Teams for? Since it's implementation, our Team has turned it into the all-access hub for all of our communication. We break down teams based on projects and they use Teams channels to post ideas and share work. We also use Microsoft Teams for video calls and to record customer interviews. I personally use the calendar feature to help me stay up-to-date. We have integrations with some of our others services that feed into Microsoft Teams as well.
- 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.
- The mobile experience could use more help. Not huge things but more annoyances. For example, you can only view the calendar in a week view on the mobile app. Also, the ability to schedule meetings and change the dates and times is rather difficult to do. So much so that I often wait until I am near a computer to get it done.
- I'd love to see more integrations. Slack still has Microsoft Teams beat on this.

I use Microsoft Teams every day. I use it to quickly chat with coworkers or solve a problem. We send files through Teams and also use it to chat with a specific group of people. It helps eliminate the need for emails at times. We also use it for internal team calls.

- Group communication
- One-on-one quick problem solving
- Team meetings and share filing
- Links to other Microsoft products
- Sometimes get kicked off and have to verify identity
- Difficult for people who don't have Microsoft Office
Microsoft Teams is a useful platform for company wide communication by chat, phone and conferencing. With phone licenses you can also use it as teleohony system. The video conferencing options can be used for internal and also external meeting. With screen and application sharing, its a great collaboration platform that support the business a lot
- Collaboration is made very easy
- Chat platform is great for short ways of communication
- Video conferencing
- Telephony options could be improved

Our creative team uses Microsoft Teams to collaborate on daily projects, communication, and also team meetings. We're able to do screen shares for quick training sessions or hold larger team meetings where everyone can join in. Since COVID, our team has gone 100% remote so being able to connect online with Microsoft Teams has been a lifesaver.
- Online sharing.
- Online screen shares for training purposes.
- Quick communication tool.
- Excellent connectivity with few interruptions during meetings.
- I sometimes have a hard time viewing both the meeting screen and chat window at the same time.
- There have been times when someone in a meeting will totally lose their connection.
- At times the sound quality is not what it should be which makes it hard to hear each other.
