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.

Ratings and reviews

I would like to get a notification when a message is received, open the app, see the message, open it, and reply to it without it being a major life event. I usually get late notifications (or none at all) and then can't open the message because the messages don't refresh without me closing the app, sometimes several times before it will appear. The simplest of tasks should work for a major app. I'd avoid using it at all costs if I wasn't forced to for work.

I was just changed to the new view this morning and it is awful on the phone. Not a huge deal on the desktop, but on the phone, having my favorites scrollable left to the right on the top is essential. There is nowhere near the same amount of screen real estate on the phone as there is on the desktop. So now I have to collapse the section, which makes it useless to even have. Do you even ask for feedback before forcing these changes on people? Put it back now!

When the heck did Microsoft stop testing applications? A functional application is probably more important than pretty colors and visual effects. Make it work before you bedazzle a poorly built application. New: Notification settings no longer matter. I get notifications hours later on multiple devices, and I ONLY receive them when active on other devices update- it's been months, still a common issue among users.
