While Microsoft 365 software isn’t particularly well-liked, surviving without them is no easy feat. One of the most frequently used pieces of software in the entire productivity suite is Microsoft Teams, a communication and collaboration platform designed specifically for businesses and large organizations. So, whether you work a corporate 9 to 5 or are a freelance graphic designer, chances are you use Microsoft Teams every day.
Since Microsoft announced that Skype is shuttering its doors for good, the company has been pushing Teams more than ever before, directing a lot of its efforts toward adding new features to the collaboration tool every few days. At the same time, there are several reasons why using any other communication tool instead of Microsoft Teams might be a good idea, and Microsoft may have just given us another reason to add to the already overwhelming list.
