Microsoft Teams or Zoom?
Video conferencing tools are now part of our lives. Whether it’s for business or for staying in touch with friends and family, these applications have helped us get through this year one way or another.
Zoom is widely popular and well known but this doesn’t mean it’s the best. Teams is much more than just a video conferencing application.
This year Microsoft saw the use of Teams rocket to 75 million daily active users, according to stats released by Microsoft in April 2020. They also called Teams the fastest growing business app in its history.
