Microsoft Teams is a multi-functional cross-platform messenger for collaborative solutions of corporate tasks. Previously included only in the paid Office 365 package, now Teams is also available for free use. Messenger is designed for Windows, MacOS, iOS, and Android platforms. It includes messaging, joint chats and conferences, file sharing and co-editing.

The messenger has integration with Office 365 and supports collaboration with Word, Excel, PowerPoint, OneNote, SharePoint and Power BI applications, as well as with third-party applications. Mobile versions of Teams for iOS and Android allow you to be always in touch with your team sending and editing files remotely.
