Microsoft tool for corporate is a proximity tool. Within a few clicks, you can organise a meeting and invite participants, either it is organisational or external.

Hybrid meetings can also be integrated in part of the Microsoft collaboration, especially with Microsoft Teams Room either in BYOD mode or having a Microsoft account. This helps meetings to be running through PCs, mobile phones, Microsoft Teams Room and especially if ever you have any firewall restrictions you can join into meeting via IVR (audio bridge) in listening mode.

In my opinion, Avoid like the plague

To me, its only advantage is that it can support larger calls than Slack. And I suppose it is free if you have Office 365 and don't pay for AI.

In my opinion, for that you will pay for with lower team morale and lower productivity.I have sets of screenshots where for one person one of the messages in the middle of the conversation is simply missing. I've had important questions sent during work hours delivered long after work hours. I've scrolled yesterday's chats to see important review requests that simply were not there yesterday. It only happens when the network is busy - maybe they have better networks in MS and haven't seen it. But it can cause a lot of grief.

Microsoft Teams convenient way to Engage

Microsoft Teams is well rounded application well suited for a lot of things. The calls with Microsoft Teams are clear devoid of breaks. Virtual meetings are also quite clear and no disruptions. Scheduling meeting is also easy. Microsoft Teams also allows for easy integrations to other Applications. its settings are friendly and allows for you to change settings. ( theme display..etc)

Persistent chat is great. It's easy to connect people who work local and remote with quick comments or chats. Getting a good group thread going has been really useful for our IT team, both for connecting personally and professionally. And I'm a firm component that if you're connected personally already, it's easier to get the professional work done as well. People are relational, and that's just the way it is.
Project management with a mixed team of those within your organization and those external to your organization. We use Teams to connect with multiple external consultants, and I think we should probably use it even more than we do. Replacing some of the email conversations that go back and forth with Teams chats would probably be more beneficial. And schedule meetings through Teams would probably be better too. It would give greater visibility to other users who might not originally have been invited, but they could see the agenda, and essentially add themselves to the meeting invite, if they had something to contribute to the conversation.
