Overview
Microsoft Teams is less a meetings app than the connective tissue of Microsoft 365: chat, channels, calls and file collaboration bolted directly onto SharePoint, Outlook and Office. For organizations standardized on Microsoft, its marginal cost is near zero and its admin controls are enterprise-grade. The experience can feel heavy — sprawling settings, occasional sluggishness — and companies outside the Microsoft stack rarely choose it on merit alone.
