I've tried Teams for personal and it's simply an uncomfortable experience.įor consumers to join video calls, webinars, etc. MSFT did not really throw the wolves at the development of Teams until 12 months ago and they have brought Teams miles from where it was. Will this give MSFT more resources to expand the reach of Teams? Sure. Will Teams and O365 add market share? Yes. Is Teams important to O365 users and the enterprise? Yes. These products came from two different directions and I would guess the impact of Covid has changed the market dynamics. Teams was introduced in early 2017 while slack was introduced in August 2013 based on a freemium business model. Maybe Daniel should have looked at the road map first before commenting about a NY Times article.
But I have not looked at the roadmap to tell us where they are headed. Do I think Microsoft will slowly improve Teams to compete for the consumer? Sure, but it is not a priority today. They did not build Teams to compete for the consumer and the pro user/Family setting. They placed most of their coding time to build the app to compete for the enterprise and build out the infrastructure. Kros, Teams was built for the enterprise first. Let's see if that can change.ĭo you use Microsoft Teams for personal use? Let me know below why you do (or don't) and what Microsoft can do to make it worthy to be considered on of the best Windows 10 apps. So far, Microsoft has not had a good track record there. Without a natural extension of the service or any clear benefits over competitors besides being tied to Office 365, Microsoft Teams for personal use seems destined to be another half-hearted attempt at convincing people to use Microsoft outside of their job. I have no idea if Microsoft plans to integrate Teams into Windows 10 (and Windows 10X) more deeply. Google will keep trying to make something consumers want before renaming it for the hundredth time. Small orgs and schools will jump between Slack and Google while gamers will stick with Discord. Skype will continue to truck along as everyone's fallback VOIP app.
Microsoft's GroupMe is a longshot for visibility, but I'm still glad to see it evolve into something more. The market will continue to coalesce around Telegram, Signal, and WhatsApp for cross-platform mobile chatting and, increasingly, video calls.
My prediction, unfortunately, is that Microsoft Teams for personal use will get a few features added on before fading into obscurity. Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central (Image credit: Source: Daniel Rubino / Windows Central)
