Whether you’re connecting with your community for an upcoming activity or working with teammates on a project, Microsoft Teams helps bring people together so that they can get things done. It’s the only app that has communities, events, chats, channels, meetings, storage, tasks, and calendars in one place—so you can easily connect and manage access to information. Get your community, family, friends, or workmates together to accomplish tasks, share ideas, and make plans. Join audio and video calls in a secure setting, collaborate in documents, and store files and photos with built-in cloud storage. You can do it all in Microsoft Teams.
Easily connect with anyone:
• Skype is now part of Teams. Continue where you left off with your chats, calls and contacts in Microsoft Teams Free.
• Meet securely with communities, teammates, family, or friends.
• Set up a meeting within seconds and invite anyone by sharing a link or calendar invite.
• Chat 1-1 or to your entire community, @mention people in chats to get their attention.
• Create a dedicated community to discuss specific topics and make plans*.
• Work closely and collaborate by keeping conversations organized by specific topics and projects with teams and channels.
• Video or audio call anyone directly in Teams or instantly convert a group chat to a call.
• Use GIFs, emojis, and message animations to express yourself when words aren’t enough.
Accomplish plans and projects together:
• Send photos and videos in chats to quickly and easily share important moments.
• Use cloud storage to access shared documents and files on the go.
• Organize shared content in a community — events, photos, links, files —so you don’t have to waste time searching*.
• Get the most out of your meetings by using screen share, whiteboard, or breakout in virtual rooms.
• Manage access to information and ensure the right people have access to the right info, even when people join and leave projects.
• Use task lists to stay on top of projects and plans - assign tasks, set due dates, and cross off items to keep everyone on the same page.
Designed to give you peace of mind:
• Securely collaborate with others while maintaining control over your data.
• Keep communities safe by allowing owners to remove inappropriate content or members*.
• Enterprise-level security and compliance you expect from Microsoft 365**.

Ms Teams has been a very useful tool and it is widely used as we all know. However, it would be great if the block function could be added got Ms Teams Education. I have read on the article on why it is not in Ms Teams, but I have been receiving spams from someone for a very long time now. Adding this function will be a great help for me. I also read a forum online that was published in 2020 that they also want this block function to be added. I hope my workspace would be a productive area for me. Please add the block function, thks!
Some not very well thought through features

The way mic muting works when playing a video in Teams doesn’t make sense to me. Firstly, I can’t mute myself when playing a video which is if I do, that would mute the video sound as well. What’s the point of having a separate switch for computer audio if getting my mic muted would mute computer audio as well? This means that if I play a video from my computer for an hour, I should maintain an absolute silence in my room for the whole hour. Then again, if somebody uses Mute All function, that would mute my computer audio as well and I have to unmute myself before the audience can hear the video sound again.The other thing is that when I share a specific window (most commonly a PowerPoint presentation), I can see a small Teams window in the bottom right corner on my screen but to everybody else it looks like a grey box unless I roll it down. So, I’m not sharing my screen, I’m sharing a specific window and only that specific window should be seen by the audience and not any other windows. And anyway, what’s the point of having that small Teams window if I have to roll it down in order to remove the grey box on everybody else’s screen?These are a couple of annoying things that you need to work on to improve the app.
Still has some ways to go

There are a few fundamental problems with this app. Apart from its integration with o365 it’s basically still quite far away, but most of us have no choice but to continue using it anyway. 1) User Interface. There is no value for feed to be the entrance point of an app when I just want to reply to my message. As a chat app, you should be able to launch and immediately reply. Having two distinct groups of chat features in both the teams tab and chats tab is seriously confusing.2) in the teams tab, the conversations look like newsfeed too. It’s not really a chat box. Many times we try to reply to a thread within a team convo and end up replying as a new post which makes the boxes look really awkward for a real conversation.3) reactions - so far you only can like and can’t do anything else. Slack has this for all chat posts. This is a good to have but not a must have. 4) there are so many ways to edit a document within teams that is very confusing. In fact share point is better! You have to choose one. Google docs does this very well. 5) no proper Version control in teams wiki. Shouldn’t this be a standard since this is in share point? I hope someone can help to float this feedback to a PM in Microsoft teams. In anyways feel free to reach out to me and I can give more feedback about this.
