Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams
Microsoft products are used by the university. All departments, staff and students receive a Microsoft subscription including a subscription to Microsoft Teams. It is used for remote working, distance, and online learning and is the default work collaboration tool since lockdowns have been imposed.
- The integration with O365 and other office tools is a plus
- There is seamless integration with other Microsoft products
- The app does not work well with apple products at all.
- The desktop application does not compete with other remote working platforms.
- The screen-share is the most inconvenient. While presenting you cannot share a single tab/window, you are forced to share your entire screen. There is a privacy concern.
- While presenting on behalf of a colleague, you will have to stop the presentation, mute/unmute then return to the presentation which is disruptive and unprofessional especially when recording.
- The members of the organisation assume guests have the capabilities they have, which guests do not. Microsoft Teams does not work as a social media platform and the guest feature should be abandoned entirely because it is most frustrating for guests.
- Guests invited to Microsoft Teams meetings cannot view multiple video cams while using a browser with a VPN service.
- The activity/meeting feedback window in the app itself is chaotic and can be better organised. I recommend data logs that can be pulled when needed.
- Meetings
- Document collaboration
- Cloud storage feature
- The organisation's partnertship with Microsoft limits departments to Microsoft products
