- Stay connected with your teams
- Document sharing functionality
- History of the chat and search function
- Small teams that could be created per project
- The control functionality could still be improved when you organize a big meeting.
- The mute function could be improved because sometimes, you just don't want to be interrupted during a presentation or work in progress.
- The status is sometimes not working properly; you can stay available all night or away even if you are not.

Microsoft Teams - A MUST FOR ANY OFFICE!!!

- Microsoft Teams allows for setting up a virtual meetings very easy.
- Microsoft Teams allows for sharing team members screens to walk through processes seamless. The team members are able to see it visually which is very helpful.
- Microsoft Teams allows for files to be store for easy access by team mates. This helps reduce the need to email files back and forth between colleagues.
- Sometimes gaining access into a meeting can be confusing, whether to select enter meeting via Web or Teams.
- Microsoft Teams do not work well on certain web browser which can cause meeting entry delays.
- When using the share screen feature, the person sharing the screens is never certain that everyone can see them sharing. Maybe adding an indicator that the person is now in screen sharing mode may be helpful.

Great collab tool, better than Zoom
- Sharing presentations.
- Contacting colleagues and suppliers formally.
- Informal discussion on chat and a record of conversation.
- Better at sharing content e.g. video and audio often not the best quality.
- Collaboration tools are not well integrated, functionality is limited and simple commands could be improved.
- Make it easier to transfer or share ownership of a meeting to change the timing, etc.

Teams - Not a perfect solution, but still the best choice going!
- Facilitates intra- and inter-team communication.
- Provides an easy-to-use feature for documenting meetings and proceedings
- Provides an excellent chat feature for off-line and sidebar communication
- Enables users to share their screens easily with other participants
- Provides a format for document storage, meeting minutes, etc.
- Hierarchy of files are a bit confusing to users.
- Adding participants outside of an organization can be challenging.
- Requires very stable Internet connection.

Microsoft Teams needs a serious UI/UX overhaul, and for now there are better options out there
- It allows all of the documents for a project to be stored on the cloud and updated in real time, instead of on a network drive where changes are more difficult to track.
- It allows teams to keep their communication and project files centralized, instead of in disparate places.
- Navigation within a document set is clunky. For example, clicking "back" never takes you back to the previous screen or one level up, like you'd expect. It takes you back to the main document set. This causes clicking in circles if you are trying to edit multiple documents in a folder.
- Moving documents from one place to another is also clunky and not intuitive. You cannot move an entire folder, but only a single document at a time. This wastes time.

Microsoft Teams has come a long way and really adds value to our work communication
- Audio calls - the quality is VERY good even when there are drops in the video quality and when interacting with multiple locations around the world.
- Rich text editing - although slightly hidden, it's really good.
- Integrations with other systems - there are a lot of them. Can contribute to a seamless work experience.
- Screen sharing with shared control - works really well overall. Remote/shared control does not work with applications that run with "elevated permissions" on Windows.
- Updates come without notice and we find out about features by chance or through experimentation. Feature rollout for the mobile applications seems to be further ahead than the rollout for desktop and web. This could be because of our organization's approach to managing Teams though.
- Mandatory Rich text copy-paste by default. Although it works great in a lot of cases, I'd like to see a "paste as plain text" option as it will make my life much easier when the formatting of the pasted text looks horrible in Teams.
- Fluctuating performance and random crashes. This can be infuriating during a hectic communications-heavy workday. Overall, this is an Electron-based app on desktop and eats a lot of memory.
- There's a CPU usage spike for the person who starts sharing his/her camera - sometimes this spike can cause other apps or even the entire OS to crash.
- There are two major tabs - "Chat" and "Teams". Around 90% of my colleagues want to use only one tab and thus ignore all the established channels in the "Teams" tab/section. Instead, they resolve to named (sometimes long-running) ad-hoc chats.
- Searching for an old message in the history yields somewhat random results so it's better to stick to recent communication.

Best meeting app for any organization that values productivity
- Better screen and content sharing support than others, especially if you want to share audio.
- Multiple rooms for waiting so better for interviewing candidates
- More effective for managing very large audience
- Better integration with MS Office and outlook
- The meeting link is confusing and most of the time audiences, press the wrong link. we have to troubleshoot this in every meeting

Microsoft Teams Improves Communication and Helps Build Teams that Enhance Productivity
- Allows you to set up teams for specific projects as well as a team for the entire department to keep everyone in contact
- Great Help Section and training available through the app.
- Very good Chat feature
- Capability to host / coordinate Conference Calls
- Easy to use Team Meetings
- Calendar Feature to help keep track of your schedule.
- Video quality was unstable at times but may have been a reflection of connection speeds more than of the capabilities of Teams.
- Can be a memory hog and cause computer performance issues at times. Be sure you have plenty of RAM on your computer to avoid issues if you plan to keep Team open at all times.
- Need a more intuitive way to coordinate the Calendar function in Teams with external calendars so you don't have to coordinate between several different calendars.

Very fast and collaborative
- Categorization of internal team meetings vs individual chats and company communicator
- Quick calling and instant connect
- Sync details from other MS apps like outlook meetings, Designation updates from Yammer or delve, contact information from AD
- Whiteboards are missing
- Synchronization of mobile app and desktop app can be improved
- Ease to invite other people to an ongoing meeting

Teams is convenient for WFH
- Meetings.
- Daily and speedy communication.
- File Storage.
- Comfortable UX/UI.
- File Storage is a little clunky for new users, there was a learning curve in understanding the difference between Channels, Teams, Files, and where to communicate. The UI could be improved.
- The connection of the file storage with Sharepoint gets tricky, where if we edit a certain file in one location, either it sometimes mirrors the action on the other platform, but sometimes it doesn't. It created a lot of issues.

Teams is good communications and video conference tool
Score 9 out of 10
Vetted Review
Verified User
- Online meeting is easier to setup and join, and video conference is better in quality.
- Teams have channels [that] divide the groups and each group communicates and shares on their group, this is a more organized way to communicate.
- Teams integrates well with the rest of office 365 tools, such as One-Drive
- In my experience, the most annoying thing in Teams is when you want to set up your audio input and output before the conference calls, especially if you have more than one audio option, such as external speakers and a headset.
- As an administrator, I see that Teams have good security policies, but these policies bring some complexity, for instance, if one user in our company needs to share some resources with [another] party outside our domain, he can not do so, until the admin allows it.
- Teams integrate well in the Microsoft environment, but outside of that, you would find that you have limited usage.
