    Good Platform for a meeting

    Date: Nov 23 2020
    Summary

    Microsoft Teams is an excellent product. it keeps all the colleagues very much associated through team groups and files sharing inside the different departments of the organization. It has profound joining with Office 365 and SharePoint, which makes it more valuable for us.

    Positive

    1. Easy to Use
    2. User-friendly UX/UI
    3. Well managed and sorted slots for each thing
    4. Highly customizable
    5. Tightly integrated with other Microsoft Office apps
    6. Plentiful integration options
    7 . Included with Office 365 business accounts.

    Negative

    Major Con for this one is there is no log for the meeting i.e who removed you during the meeting or who muted you in the meeting.

    Instant Messaging Just Got Better!

    Date: Dec 29 2020
    Summary

    Overall, Microsoft Teams is a breeze! My team and I have been using this application since it arrived in the Microsoft package, and we've loved every moment of it (including the glitches/issues). I believe this is one application that all businesses should invest in.

    Positive

    I love the layout of the new & updated MS Teams!
    I love how you can have several group channels and add as many people as you want.
    I love how you can start a meeting with you group of people by just the click of a button.
    I love the emojis it offers, to help with diluting conversations and words a bit better.
    I love the GIFS option, which can make the professional environment seem a little less stressful

    Negative

    I don't have many cons for MS Teams -- The only one I can think of is how it freezes up/glitches at times (but that is with any application). Also, it sometimes gives you a hard time when trying to sign in.

    Need some more security upgrades

    Date: Nov 07 2020
    Summary

    Overall other than the missing of the Log feature I don't think there is any issue. Is cross platforms is seamless. But the Log feature should be the must. If that feature gets introduced then I don't think then there is any other better solution to meeting and conference's than this.

    Positive

    Great UI, is secure, manages everything from time-tables to notifications, everything is just great. Having all my classes and meeting since 8 to 9 months and using it pretty well daily.

    Negative

    The main cons with this is that it does not have any log feature. This is the only feature that is missing because sometime students mute the teachers and its is very irritating to find who it was. Or if someone kicks somebody out no one knows who it was. Even Microsoft does not have any log about that. So they should add a log feature that only the Admin of that team can see.

    Ultimately, an item that I can offer productivity in my activities

    Date: Dec 01 2020
    Summary

    We know that with several of our consumers making use of the product, it provides a more peaceful partnership experience, in addition to currently providing it as a component of our service and also specialized solutions. The charm of Microsoft Teams, as well as several other Office365 programs, is the ease of availability also from a tool obtained. All I need is my login information, as well as I can access Microsoft 365 and Teams at any time.

    Positive

    Microsoft Teams, as well as for the company, have been one of Microsoft's success stories. Pair this with desktop computer sharing and also the ability to remotely connect to multiple desktop computers from other individuals, depending on the company's plans, it has been a joy to use Teams during the pandemic period and is currently our first selection of tools.

    Negative

    When developing chats and meetings with several other users and customers. It would certainly be appropriate to have the ability to decide whether you want future conferences to combine directly into a conversation to allow for an ongoing sequence or to keep them as solitary entities.

    Team building in your best communicative performance

    Date: Dec 05 2020
    Summary

    Great for group interaction when everyone is remote. As many of my businesses operate in another location, this allows us to maintain contacts as well as get everything resolved as a group. This is noticeable in the whole distance issue, as we even have team video calls twice a week to ensure that we can rework work-related issues and also go beyond several others.

    Positive

    Using this program allows you to pin down detailed conversations so that they are much easier to find and consult when talking to a person or a specific team about a detail problem. I also appreciate that you can send Gifs in team conversations to keep the conversation fun.

    Negative

    When you accidentally keep a message, you are unable to effectively, or at least clearly, remove it from your conversation list. This simply confuses your conversation list and also makes it much more complex to organize your conversations to find who you are choosing.
