Microsoft Teams
About Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a chat-based workspace within Microsoft 365, which enables users to view and collaborate on documents directly within the application, participate in voice and video conference calls, view full conversation histories and email-style conversation threads, and more. Teams has replaced Skype for Business as Microsoft's online meeting solution.
Microsoft Teams can be customized to suit each individual team, with users able to create tabs for frequently accessed documents or regularly-used cloud services. Integrations with Word, PowerPoint, Excel, OneNote, SharePoint, Power BI, Delve, and Planner are all built into Microsoft Teams, allowing users to access and collaborate on a range of files. Skype for Business integration facilitates video and voice conference calls between users, connectors can be used to pull in notifications and updates from a range of third party services including GitHub and Twitter, and the Microsoft Bot Framework is also supported, bringing intelligent bots into the team environment.

For a free or paid version, this offers the combination of meetings and also storage. It is easy to create meeting instantly and also to join. Even in low bandwidth mode, this works just fine.
Pros
I have used this application to do meetings for office works. The initial onboard meeting was held in Microsoft Teams. They have a very fine app for mobile devices. I can manage my works and project using different team. So, its easy to catalog all upcoming project works. Also, the video and audio quality is great.
Cons
There is no way to upload the recording of meetings to Google Drive or other 3rd party storage providers. Also, it takes time to load in windows application.

In fact, despite all the problems, it can get better with good software and some development. But unfortunately I can't trust it at the moment.
Pros
I use Microsoft Teams at a University. It is nice to have a complete software. We can share files with our colleagues. We can also save time by working jointly on some documents. It is also nice that it is extensible and has a lot of add-ons. For example, we have installed the tasks application, so we can assign tasks immediately and follow who is doing them. It's also nice to have a smartphone app.
Cons
Although it is a nice software in general, I don't want to work with it for two main reasons. Firstly, Linux support is very bad. Secondly, sometimes our files are lost. The interface is slow. Recently, some of our files were lost, including the pictures of the teams we set up. Also, when I tried to use the Office application in it, I typed the title and it deleted it immediately during autosave. I was using it before because it was the official system of our school, but now I'm starting to think that we need to switch to a different system. It is also necessary to back up the files frequently.

Reviewed on 31/07/2024
Pros
Its user-friendly interface, the capabilities of the application like user availability status, notifications, customizations, Group and teams structures, high quality meetings with hundreds of participants.
Cons
The text formatting feature of Teams could be somewhat improved and made easier. Also, the transcription feature can be revised with more options (where the user can decide about the length of the transcribed text).
