Overall Satisfaction with Microsoft Teams

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.
  • Creating a document repository such as meeting minutes, document sharing
  • Creating a list for any purpose of tracking
  • Ability to call and connect to personnel
  • Access to organization calendar
  • Ability to add multiple recipients to a list
  • Notification via email when a document is uploaded or a record is added to a list
  • Ability to clear out chat permanently
  • Ability to create lists
  • Ability to collaborate with team members
  • Ability to record meeting
  • Ability to track activities
  • Very efficient and effective meetings
  • More efficient tracking systems
  • Greate teamwork abilities such as meeting recordings, transcripts etc
  • Skype for Business (formerly Lync) and now part of Microsoft Teams
My organization moved from Skype for Business to Teams. It required some learning curve but overall the tool was very intuitive and user friendly.

Microsoft Teams is well suited for collaboration and access to team calendars and documents. My personal favorite is recording a meeting and transcript creation. This is perfect to go back and review discussions and screens. I do wish meeting recordings were downloadable to all attendees and not just the host.
