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.

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.

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.

We use Microsoft Teams for team communication (IM, channels) and meetings - its primary function it fills in our organization. However, Microsoft Teams is highly integrated in all everyday tasks, particularly in file management. We utilize the ability to make team channels to segregate files among certain teams both internally and externally. All files typically are also synced with Teams' integration of OneDrive and Sharepoint.

For talking and planning meetings, Microsoft Teams is utilized as the official communicator. It's incredibly easy to plan a session from Office and distribute the Teams conference invite instantly because it's linked with Microsoft Outlook. It also enables group chats and group calls, which allow team members to communicate with one another outside of planned sessions.

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.

We conduct online lessons through Microsoft Teams. During the world pandemic of Covid 19, it help cub physical contact which help reduce the spread of the virus. Microsoft teams permit you to have distant virtual gatherings inside your group, or between clients exclusively. You can screen share, join telephone calls, or hold a video meeting for colleagues to join. They can be planned early or made on the spot. Something extraordinary about Teams gatherings is that they can be recorded and saved to Microsoft Stream as a possibility for others to see later or reference. This can be utilized for directions, instructional courses, and learning.

MS Teams is the perfect tool when it comes to collaboration for remote-working teams and project work. As we are building on a Microsoft Active Directory it is available to everyone with an MS account. Before we had the problem of duplicate file management and "email ping pong". Now we have a tool that addresses several aspects of effective collaboration (commenting, sharing files, working in the same document with several people).

I use it to exchange messages with colleagues, for meetings, to share screen and documentation. Also to address major/minor incidents quickly and easily. We use it for phone internal and external phone calls. We use it to create groups of discussions for projects in which we can share files related to the project.

I have been using Microsoft Teams for 6 years. It is a great tool for communication and collaboration in an organization. It provides everything needed for messaging, conferencing, and file sharing. It is the best tool for a virtual office, where we can suppress background noise while working from home. Microsoft Teams gives me a platform where I can work with other employees in my company on video conferencing and share files, chat in a group, and many other features.

Microsoft Teams is used in our organization for internal communication via Chat, Voice calls, and Video calls. Microsoft Teams is also used for other collaboration tools like creating teams groups and sharing data within the Groups. Microsoft Teams is also connected to the share point which is a very helpful feature to keep all our documents in a single teams space.

While in a priorly in-office organization, we were forced to adapt to a new online world to adhere to pandemic-safety standards. Microsoft Teams was the platform of choice to assist in all co-working efforts. It allowed for group chats, private messages, and video calling to ensure we could communicate almost as effectively as the way the office has been.

Please do not inform me about working with any meetings in Microsoft meeting the user interface is so bad I used 30 minutes to join because their link was broken. There was no way for me to join even if I use a link provided by my colleague it still uses the old cookie and totally destroys the way to join a meeting.

In my organization, we use Microsoft Teams to hold team meetings as well as communicate internally via the chat feature. The Microsoft Teams platform has helped our team stay in touch and communicate seamlessly regardless of location. The many features of Microsoft teams such as breakout rooms, meeting scheduling, and task assigning greatly improve productivity and team collaboration.

We used Microsoft Teams in our organization to keep communication flowing and to also hold team meetings. This platform really helped us keep things organized and get in touch with co-workers in a quick and timely manner. We were also able to host remote socials through this platform in the form of screen-sharing which was convenient to play games with our coworkers! I would recommend Microsoft Teams to anyone in the future!

My team and direct reports use teams to problem solve and communicate major changes in schedule. Our national organization uses teams also to create groups and share files quickly. The ease of use and how you can add to a conversation is what makes eams work well. We actually moved away from Slack into Teams because of the integration of Microsoft Outlook and our organization.

With COVID, [Microsoft] Teams has become the core platform we use for all meetings - from 1:1 updates to group meetings to large-scale business unit-wide announcements. We use the video meetings on laptop and mobile, as our only chat platform and as ongoing group discussions for everything from project-centric work to administrative updates.
