Microsoft Teams makes sure that personal sessions are fast and optimal
Date: Mar 17 2021SummaryThe scope shown by Microsoft Teams can be totally varied, since meetings can be of a personal nature or on a larger scale, involving groups of people. The interesting thing about Microsoft Teams is the way in which all the management processes of such meetings are automated, which normally require only a few touches to be carried out.
PositiveThe level of participation in each meeting can be edited according to the preferences of the host, or the group in general, by simply accessing the image settings. Microsoft Teams offers dynamic background blurring, which works as a way to keep meetings as focused and professional as possible. We recommend reviewing Microsoft Teams if you need a software for online meetings, as its video chat room system or chat without image is one of the most comfortable and evolved today. This is mainly due to the fact that Microsoft Teams was created taking into account all of Microsoft's past experiments in the area of online communications.
NegativeMicrosoft Teams can be integrated into Microsoft office 365, but it is not possible to create written document edits, audiovisual presentations, or much else within the platform. In addition to this, such work material cannot be shared among meeting participants if editing is desired, or if screen sharing is required to work with such information live. In this case, once the content has finished being edited externally, it can be exported to some other platform of the user's preference.

Microsoft Teams helps to make our sessions optimal
Date: Apr 26 2021SummaryThe scope that Microsoft Teams allows us to have is not only very broad, but it allows us to cover different types of meetings depending on our needs. In this sense, we have been able to use Microsoft Teams not only for large meetings involving dozens of people, but also for small meetings more similar to group calls.
PositiveThrough Microsoft Teams we have greatly improved the quality of our participations, because now we can not only configure our screen image so that it can adapt to the overall quality of the devices of others, but we can also delete the backgrounds of our presentations, to keep the team properly focused and concentrated on the work.
NegativeMicrosoft Teams, although it can be added to the Microsoft office 365 platform, does not allow us to edit our documents within the presentations, and such documents, once imported into the platform, cannot be sent while the presentation is being made, which represents a clear limitation in our work methodology.

Good but has room to improve
Date: Jun 16 2021SummaryIt's required from work. Nearly every meetings we use Team. Since Microsoft has so many software/apps, function integration or data sharing is something that other apps may not have.
PositiveIntegrated with other MS apps/software, e.g., Outlook. It's easy to schedule or check meetings. Links will be automatically sent to the meeting receivers. Recording is another feature that is super useful.
NegativeI also use slack for meetings. The good of slack is I can draw lines on the screen and the other team member knows where I mark on their screens. I wish Team will also have this function.
