Microsoft Teams

It’s easy to join a meeting with just a link that can be sent and I like how it is aligned with Outlook.

Sometimes the video messes up and that can be frustrating.

It is very powerful tool for daily communication specially in large scale companies. It is possible to integrate different addons which you can practically use. Performance of the tool is very solid for meetings, screensharing sessions and of course calls. Creating teams, pages part is also a good way of collaboration.

If you are in a crowded meeting such as 500+ people the tool is slowing a little bit and it is hard to control in a screensharing or presentation session.

The best thing about Microsoft teams as a video conferencing is the audio and video quality. This application do not consume large amount of memory and space which makes it friendly for the developers like myself.

Microsoft teams is easily understandable and easy to use software. Teams provide lots of feature which comes handy to the user such as video calling, chats, screen sharing, polls, note making etc.
The most facinating thing that I liked in teams is taking remote access to other collegues.

Microsoft teams sometimes do not update or wrongly update the status. For example, when I am in a call, sometimes it shown to other users that I am away or awailable. The file structures is very confusing and at some point there is unnecessary storage consuption.
The swtiching of the call from mobile to PC sometimes is harder.
It may happen that the message is not getting sent even if the network is strong and there is no option to try again.

The integration to other MS products in the 365 world is a significant reason for why Teams is used by me daily. The ability to set up meetings with end users not necessarily needing to install Teams is a real bonus and adds to the long list of features I use daily.

It can do so much especially as part of the wider MS platform that it can be bewildering at times. However, it is perfectly possible to focus on only those areas of functionality that are of genuine use and value to overcome this.

I now use Teams more that Zoom. For many previous attempts I couldn’t add anyone that wasn’t in my organization and the hundreds of settings were overwhelming. Now that has been simplified and I’m very happy about that.

To add simple features such as a call in number, it requires a paid subscription and 8-10 steps in various control panels to add that module to the account to enable it. Should be way easier than that.
