Microsoft Teams vs Zoom

Seems like zoom is all the rage these days... Does anyone here prefer Microsoft Teams or another video conferencing software over zoom?

Zoom is the better product for everyday conferencing. Teams is secured and better for enterprise conferencing.

Yes and no

What do you like more about zoom? I used both teams and zoom and found zoom to be buggy and clunky as hell, but it could be my workplace’s integration with it. I’m trying to find out if it’s actually better than what I’ve experienced.

We switched from Zoom to Teams and after the initial change, it’s been surprisingly easy to use. I like not having to connect through another app. Plus you can use the notes feature to tie to your work on MS other enterprise apps.

Anything is better than Webex.

Lmao. It seems like Skype is the only thing that’s worse.

Microsoft teams is so good! 😘😘

I love it. I wish my current employer used it haha. Do you find that it scales well with a lot of users on the same call? That’s one aspect of zoom I’ve been pleased with but I’m not sure how Teams compares.

Yes. We use teams with around 20 people on call. It just works. Love this. Much better than Skype that I was using earlier

wouldn’t microsoft teams and skype use the same underlying technology? it’s surprising ppl are saying teams is better than skype

Microsoft thpt Apr 15, 2020

No, my guess (I don't work in Teams or Skype) is Microsoft stopped developing Skype ages ago and focused resources on Teams instead.

Surprising that nobody asked any question about MS losing to Zoom on Video-conferencing
