Also, I really enjoy the customization options and team-building/communication potential. > > **Cons**: Unfortunately Microsoft Teams is not accessible while using my Iphone or Macbook.I do not think Teams is compatible with Apple products. > > Overall I'd say my experience with Microsoft Teams has been extremely positive. I've never encountered any problems or issues while using Teams at home or at work except when trying to access on my Macbook or Iphone. ----- ### "Happy with several years of Microsoft Teams use" — 4.0/5 > **Amanda** | *16 March 2026* | Transportation/Trucking/Railroad | Recommendation rating: 9.0/10 > > **Pros**: I like how well integrated Microsoft Teams is with Microsoft's other offerings, such as Loop, Tasks, and Copilot. The Copilot features have been game-changers especially for long and/or intricate meetings, particularly with lots of people chatting. Can take notes for you, allow you to assign out tasks discussed, etc. Takes the cake as far as the Pros for me. > > **Cons**: A big downside for me is not being able modify my cursor appearance while presenting. Having that capability makes it easier for parties to track what I am doing versus where their cursor may be. Helpful for when they take screenshots, as well, as I can make my cursor more easily visible for them. Would love that feature to be added\! > > Overall, have enjoyed my experience with Microsoft Teams. If I find something I don't like or that I think can be improved, I just use their Feedback feature to let them know then they can take it from there. Highly suggest Microsoft Teams, especially if you take advantage of their other products, particularly those driving efficiency such as Loop, Tasks, and Copilot. ----- ### "Best Meetings and Communication Product" — 5.0/5 > **Orlando** | *18 February 2026* | Information Services | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: To be able to host virtual meetings with vendors from all over the world from my office or home, and sometimes to provide IT support by allowing end-users to share screen and take control. > > **Cons**: So far, I am happy and I see I can now add two accounts and switch between the two. This was last issue I had. ----- ### "My favorite software at work" — 4.0/5 > **Patricia** | *19 January 2026* | Banking | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: I love that is so user friendly and great for team collaboration. It integrates with our phone system and crm. It is a great communication tool. > > **Cons**: The con is that you cannot share two screens at once . It only allows one screen and at Wells Fargo in our department, we have two monitors. > > Overall it has been a great experience. Our team works from home a lot and we use it for training and meetings.It is user friendly and took no time to learn how to use it. ----- ### "Teams is the best at what it does" — 5.0/5 > **Andrew** | *25 March 2026* | Furniture | Recommendation rating: 10.0/10 > > **Pros**: Teams is the most feature rich video conferencing software available. I have use Teams with several companies now and can confidently say that when all the extra features are customized and properly set up Teams is the best for communication and collaboration. Teams is free to use and integrates well with many other Microsoft products, especially SharePoint, making project separation and management in large companies possible without any extra steps or costs. > > **Cons**: Though Teams is easy to use as an individual, integrating it into an Azure environment requires higher skill and knowledge. Microsoft's customer support on their free products is best handled through their online forums or the open community. > > Teams has made projects for my contracts possible that could happen without it. What Microsoft has done with mobile and plugin integration is nothing short of fantastic. ----- Page: 1 / 439\ Next: [Next page](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397766/microsoft-teams?page=2) ## Links - [View on SoftwareAdvice](https://www.softwareadvice.co.nz/software/397766/microsoft-teams) ## This page is available in the following languages | Locale | URL | | de | | | en | | | en-AU | | | en-GB | | | en-IE | | | en-NZ | | | fr | | ----- ## Structured Data
