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.

• 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.

Ratings and reviews

The app is pretty good, but there are a few updates that would make this app even better. 2 things I would like to see added is: The ability to move a call (not a meeting) from one device to another. I know this is available on iphone so I know it's possible. The second is the ability to listen to calls through my earbuds. I'm using a pixel with the pixel buds and I can't take calls through them. Other than those, the app is good for messaging with your team.

Teams does not support basic android conversation features, such as chat bubbles and priority messages. It seems like a workplace communication app would give you the ability to set it's messages as priority, but contrary to all logic, they do not. Luckily for them, I simply do not have a choice. Great job winning by being the only teams client, I guess.

Having used it a month now, it is safe to say this is an unholy mess of an application that is WILDLY intrusive across all the applications on your PC. It behaves like spyware or ransomware, really. Never mind that actually using it is an exercise in frustration. Nothing is where you expect it to be as if a 4 year old with crayons designed the user experience. Audio and video typically don't work and my team just does a conference call to avoid it. Overall, in true MS fashion, this is a fail.
