Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a proprietary business communication platform developed by Microsoft, as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products that acts as a central hub for workplace conversations, collaborative teamwork, video chats and document sharing. Teams primarily competes with the similar service Slack, offering workspace chat and videoconferencing, file storage and application integration. Teams replaced other Microsoft-operated business messaging and collaboration platforms, including Skype for Business and Microsoft Classroom. Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Teams, and other software such as Zoom and Google Meet, gained much interest as many meetings moved to a virtual environment.
As of January 2023, it had about 280 million monthly users. Newer versions do not allow using browsers from other vendors to open links.
