What is Microsoft Teams?
Microsoft Teams combines video conferencing software with team collaboration tools. The communications platform allows MS Office users to conduct conference calls and share files via SharePoint, and join or initiate a group chat.
Microsoft Teams features three tiers of pricing. The first is a subscription-less, free option that offers the same features as the other two tiers but does not offer administration tools like analytics and access to on-premise servers, or support features like 24/7 phone and web support. The second and third tiers are based on the size of your business and its conferencing needs. Its “Office 365 Business Premium” option starts at $12.50 a month per user, with a required annual commitment, and its “Office 365 E3” option for enterprises starts at $20 a month per user, also with a required annual commitment.
Key Features
Meetings: Meet with teams of 10 or 10,000. Host audio, video, and web
conferences with anyone inside or outside your organization or go big with live
events.
Calling: Its Phone System feature enables PBX capabilities including
call control in Office 365 and replaces on-premises PBX. Its calling features
are customizable to fit your organization’s unique needs.
