There are many things that make Teams one of the most popular enterprise apps for messaging, collaboration and information sharing. Today's Microsoft Teams users can tap into their favourite Office 365 tools within their collaboration platform, share files with ease, and even set up a video call in a matter of seconds. On top of all that, with Teams, you can collaborate from wherever you are, on any device that you choose.
While a mobile app version of a collaboration tool might not be ground-breaking stuff, Microsoft Teams' app has been gaining a lot of attention of-late. Why? Because it's transforming lives around the globe with easy and accessible productivity. In fact, Teams of late has been a top-rated productivity tool on both the Play Store and the Apple App Store. That's pretty impressive stuff.
Managing Work/Life Balance with Microsoft Teams
The idea of having all the collaboration features you need available on your smartphone might be appealing when you're at work, but it can also make it hard to maintain work/life balance when you're at home. In today's world of on-the-go and mobile working, finding the line between work and home is becoming increasingly difficult.
That's why Microsoft recently made it easier for users to control the noise from their workplace notifications with the Teams app. As part of the September update for Teams, Microsoft offered an option to turn down the noise in channels on your desktop app. On your mobile app, on the other hand, you can set "Quiet Hours" for when you want to receive absolutely no notifications at all, and "Quiet Days" when you just want to switch off from the office.
When you do have notifications coming through to your smartphone, you'll also be able to manage them with ease. All you need to do is swipe to mark messages as read or unread, so there's very little time wasted as you sort through your notifications. What's more, to make the experience even more comfortable, there's a dark mode available - that's massive news for anyone thrilled to hear about the latest dark mode updates to Android and Apple operating systems.
Communication to Suit Anyone
With Microsoft Teams, employees don't just get a watered-down version of the desktop application from Microsoft. Instead, you're getting a tool that's specifically designed to make your life easier on the go. For instance, if you're getting a call on your desktop and you need to get out of the office fast, you can easily transfer that conversation to your mobile. Even mid-conversation, you won't have to worry about ruining the flow of the meeting.
