About this app

Whether you’re connecting with your community for an upcoming activity or working with teammates on a project, Microsoft Teams helps bring people together so that they can get things done. It’s the only app that has communities, events, chats, channels, meetings, storage, tasks, and calendars in one place—so you can easily connect and manage access to information. Get your community, family, friends, or work mates together to accomplish tasks, share ideas, and make plans. Join audio and video calls in a secure setting, collaborate in documents, and store files and photos with built-in cloud storage. You can do it all in Microsoft Teams.

Easily connect with anyone:
• Meet securely with communities, teammates, family, or friends.
• Set up a meeting within seconds and invite anyone by sharing a link or calendar invite.
• Chat 1-1 or to your entire community, @mention people in chats to get their attention.
• Create a dedicated community to discuss specific topics and make plans*.
• Work closely and collaborate by keeping conversations organized by specific topics and projects with teams and channels.
• Video or audio call anyone directly in Teams or instantly convert a group chat to a call.
• Use GIFs, emojis, and message animations to express yourself when words aren’t enough.

Accomplish plans and projects together:
• Send photos and videos in chats to quickly and easily share important moments.
• Use cloud storage to access shared documents and files on the go.
• Organize shared content in a community — events, photos, links, files —so you don’t have to waste time searching*.
• Get the most out of your meetings by using screenshare, whiteboard, or breakout in virtual rooms.
• Manage access to information and ensure the right people have access to the right info, even when people join and leave projects.
• Use task lists to stay on top of projects and plans - assign tasks, set due dates, and cross off items to keep everyone on the same page.

Designed to give you peace of mind:
• Securely collaborate with others while maintaining control over your data.
• Keep communities safe by allowing owners to remove inappropriate content or members*.
• Enterprise-level security and compliance you expect from Microsoft 365**.

Ratings and reviews

Not great - clicking on the files tab on a page within a team, I get totally different results in the phone app than I do on the desktop. I also have no access to files, even to look at, on the phone app as I have to download the file first to view it, which iIt says I don't have permission to do, even when I do have permission on the desktop version. Wish you could choose which teams to have notifications from, or to set up a schedule for notifications so you only had them on working days.

no content ever loads on my Android. I've tried to clear Teams' cache (then eventually all its data), refresh pages, & reinstall the app, but nothing has ever changed. most of the time, I still can't see any posts, send any messages — now thinking about it, I can't do anything on the app unless I get lucky one day, & it suddenly starts to function the way it should for a limited time. Teams seems to work fine on my iPad. can't say the same for my Samsung phone, which is really frustrating.

I have been using this app for the last 2 years and I am greatly satisfied with all the features it provides. However, it has a great disadvantage that always drives me crazy. I use this platform for getting connected with my students who don't know English quite well. Almost all of my students get stuck in the process of logging in, singing up or passing the ridiculous verification system. I have to help each new individual to set it. Other apps like Google Teems, and Zoom are perfect at it.
