Microsoft Teams - Making Remote Work Possible
Comments: I use Microsoft Teams all day, every day to engage with my team, communicate in the remote work environment, hold video meetings to incorporate as much human interaction as possible into the virtual environment. Teams allows me to share information with my team, help them in their daily tasks, play games to lighten the workday, send praise features to celebrate their hard work, etc. Remote work would not be possible (at least on my team) without it!
Pros:
I would not be able to function in my role without the consistent, daily use of Microsoft Teams. I use Teams to easily chat with my team, host online Team events, share important data, private message, host video meetings, make quick and easy phone calls, etc. I also love that there are so many add-ons that I can utilize (like the Praise feature) to engage with my team and reward productive output.
Cons:
The only con that I would list would be that the emoji menu should have a recently used section. But, this is super minimal, as the selection for emojis to brighten up my team chat and engage with my team is vast!

Best application for video calling and remote controlling.
Comments: Overall Microsoft teams is best application in my perspective. I loved approximately each and every feature.
Pros:
The best thing about Microsoft teams as a video conferencing is the audio and video quality. This application do not consume large amount of memory and space which makes it friendly for the developers like myself. Microsoft teams is easily understandable and easy to use software. Teams provide lots of feature which comes handy to the user such as video calling, chats, screen sharing, polls, note making etc. The most facinating thing that I liked in teams is taking remote access to other collegues.
Cons:
Microsoft teams sometimes do not update or wrongly update the status. For example, when I am in a call, sometimes it shown to other users that I am away or awailable. The file structures is very confusing and at some point there is unnecessary storage consuption. The swtiching of the call from mobile to PC sometimes is harder. It may happen that the message is not getting sent even if the network is strong and there is no option to try again.

Alternatives Considered:
Video Conferencing, Ease Communication, Project Management!
Comments: We have been using the system for 6 months, I love how easy it was for our team to learn and begin using the software. It really allowed for an easier buy-in from staff.
Pros:
The variety of applications you can incorporate into teams to allow for the system to be more customized to each individual teams needs. It helps reduce email and eases up on project management by putting it all in 1 system.
Cons:
So many 3rd party apps, it would be great to have a description or more information on which ones other teams use to help determine if they are good for our team

Makes remote work easy
Comments: Overall it’s been good, very few calls dropped and easy to quickly setup meetings with teammates and share data, really it’s easier to do that then in the past walking over to someone’s cube to work, at least for the most part. Some things can’t replace being together physically but Ihave found that instead of just losing benefits of physically meeting it’s more of a tradeoff where you gain more than you lose when working remote
Pros:
One program that does everything you need for remote work. Works cross platform and on mobile devices. Easy to use how you want to work, weither it’s texting chat, send images, share screens, join meetings see peoples availability. It has allowed me to fully work at home with little change from an office environment
Cons:
The wiki needed a lot of attention, needed better control for searching for data and a better hierarchy for organizing the pages.
