Microsoft Teams is a team collaboration application developed by Microsoft as part of the Microsoft 365 family of products, offering workspace chat and video conferencing, file storage, and integration of proprietary and third-party applications and services.[11]

Teams replaced other Microsoft-operated business messaging and collaboration platforms, including Skype for Business and Microsoft Classroom.

Throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, Teams and software such as Zoom, Slack, Google Meet, among others gained much interest as many meetings moved to a virtual environment.[12]

As of January 2023, it had around 280 million monthly users.[13]
