Microsoft Teams and no Team Spirit
We have tried to use it primarily for video conferencing, meetings and as an overall communication tool. Approximately 40% of our staff works remotely, and others travel a lot as part of the job. Sometimes we have small conferences or connections of 2 people, and we also use it for our town halls and kick offs which are over 200 people across the country, but not internationally.

Teams is the best - but not perfect
For us Teams is the lifeblood of collaboration on a day-to-day basis.
We use it for immediate peer communications, meetings, file sharing, project collaboration and global notifications and management.
Teams allows us to stay connected in a virtual environment and be as unified just as effectively if we were in the office together.

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.

Powerful tool to use it to the communicate with multiple work teams inside the organization through personal messages, audio and video calls. Allow to schedule internal meetings and tasks. Microsoft Teams allows to be integrated with others resources like word, Excel and PowerPoint, making work easier. Many times the messages replace emails. This toll helps to increase productivity, bringing ease to the entire business process and day-to-day activities.

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.

In principle I am very disappointed when using Microsoft Teams.
In my experience, the application doesn't work at times. I think improvements are definitely needed. I actually found Skype much more user friendly and efficient when I used it 10 years ago.
In my experience, there are times that it just doesn't work.

Great Communcatino and Collaboration Tool
In my organisation Microsoft Teams is used mainly to do Conference calls We also use it to Collaborate on files saved on OneDrive Moreover it allows communitations between organisations, so communication is both internal and external The calendar feature in Microsoft Teams is used to schedule a meeting and also to organise the day The integration with outlook's calendar makes it even more interesting When we have to handover control to over people during a conference call Microsoft Teams is the way to go
Likewise we can set up integrations such as notification from other softwares
Channels/Teams can be created to message and collaborate with specific people

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.

I'm on Team Teams!
Teams allows our expansive team to coordinate through chats and calls, in various chat groups and channels, meaning we have a lot more time for our projects as we aren't gathering for meetings all the time now. We can easily organise ourselves for meetings as and when it suits everybody and can clearly see when people aren't available etc.

In our company, Microsoft Teams is used when an alternative is not available, being an external made choice for a webinar or meeting, or maybe an option associated with an Office 365 suite. While it works, it's interface isn't very user friendly when stacked up against other collaboration tools available, both free or paid ones, even now that has been on the market for sometime.

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.

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.
We use Teams for daily communications. Without Teams, we would be left without a means of communicating our ideas and concerns.

I sit out of our Noida office in India whereas we have counterparts in sales, customer success and various other functions operating from the rest of the world. Oftentimes, one needs to connect with a colleague from a different geography and Teams is the perfect platform to do so. Not only can you find whoever you are looking for, but you also have display pictures, organizational charts, reporting manager details and a lot more information available which is very helpful. Personally, I feel it is the only right way to collaborate in an enterprise, especially since e-mails are way too formal.
We use Teams to facilitate online meetings which are either on-one-one or with teams/squads.

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.

Software that makes sense but is not yet perfect.
As a contractors, we use Microsoft Teams in different ways.The first is with our clients, usually non-profit organizations that work with multi-generational volunteers. Integrating non-company people into the Team universe is not the most user-friendly solution. There are often difficulties in accessing documents and navigating through the infrastructure of the interface. It therefore requires each time to educate the volunteers on how to use the platform.We also use the Microsoft Teams of our customers, who have provided us with email addresses from their organizations specifically for this purpose. We end up with conflicts between Teams, OneNote and Office 365 if we are not on the same user account for each of the software.In short, the tool is interesting but its protections against external access as well as the difficulty for users with multiple MS 365 accounts are a hindrance in our context.

Scope is pretty broad with Microsoft Teams, doesn’t seem to be any problems in general. Microsoft Teams allows us to immediately get in touch and share meetings, documents, tasks, and information quickly and efficiently. I use Microsoft Teams daily and it certainly alleviates certain times when a quick connect can resolve a lengthy phone call.
Microsoft Teams has replaced our previous document repository tool and has also replaced Skype as our new communication within teams members. It has a good structure to it (provided it is thought out), ease in use and good UI. There is also the ability to search within Microsoft Teams and that makes it easy to search for files/folders and communication history. It also integrates well with other plugins such as Microsoft power apps, Miro etc. so that has been a great help in managing work and comms.

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.
