Conversely, for those of us who don't want, you need to be comfortable diving into the system settings just to disable the daily popups extolling its virtues.
A simple "I don't want this" check box would have been most helpful.
If you're a Slack user there's little incentive to switch to Teams until Microsoft turn off the integration taps with Slack which might push more people over to G-Suite.
Microsoft also need to deal with winding down Yammer and transition users to Teams.
Finally, Teams needs to up the integrations it has to compete with Slack including a focus on Zapier/IFTTT rather than Flow (which is the Sage BCA to Xero/QBO).
Considering that Skype for business was forcibly transferred to Teams (and still does not work correctly) should be the real telling point to MS Teams.
It has a very confusing interface and working with clients who still use Skype for Business (old MS Office versions) but we cannot communicate correctly with them should be an indicator of how MS supports their products... Avoid....
We use Teams in an office of 4 people but I'm not sure what is the best way to use this. You have the chat function which is fine for one 2 one chats and then you have channels where you create a channel for a specific department, project or client and then you invite team members to that channel. Outside of instant message, it's difficult to know what is the best way to use teams. For example, if I get an email from a client and I want to discuss the contents of that email with a colleague, I can't forward that email as a chat in MS teams which means I have to create a channel, forward the email to the channel and we can have a conversation in there. Just seems a bit clunky moving from one application to another to have a chat.
