Microsoft Teams is a collaboration platform developed by Microsoft as part of Microsoft 365. It allows for chat conversations, file sharing, online meetings and calls. Teams competes with Slack and replaces other Microsoft platforms like Skype for Business. It offers benefits like increased productivity and focus through its integration of chat, files and meetings. While it has some limitations around file structures and flexibility, it provides superior security, compliance and automation compared to alternatives.
