What is Microsoft Teams?

Microsoft Teams is a communication workspace for chat, video meetings and collaboration around shared files. It makes particular sense for organizations already using Microsoft 365: a project can keep its conversations, meetings and working documents together instead of distributing them across unrelated tools. Channels provide a shared context, while direct messages and calls support smaller discussions.

Choose the subscription around the work rather than the Teams name alone. Essentials covers business meetings and communication; Microsoft 365 bundles add email, storage and other apps. Check that a bundle explicitly includes Teams, and budget separately for capabilities such as Teams Phone or Microsoft 365 Copilot when needed.

What stands out

  • Chat, meetings and shared material can stay in the same project context.
  • Microsoft 365 integration suits teams already using its document and email tools.
  • Essentials provides a business meeting option without buying the full productivity suite.

Plan limits

  • Microsoft 365 subscriptions are sold with and without Teams, so the exact bundle matters.
  • Phone, Premium and Copilot capabilities can require additional licensing.
  • Free personal group calls are limited to 60 minutes and 100 participants.
