Microsoft Teams announced

Not here yet.
-
Just received the email to turn it on.

-
@JaredBusch didn't work.
-
Ah ha, it's a FAT app only, no online component. Not available for Linux, so this makes the O365 suite not universally the same as far as platforms. There is no web interface for Teams. I have it on my phone, but not my desktop.
-
Got the app, but the sign in isn't working. Ugh. What a pain.
-
Ok regular skype does all of this better.

Or at all. Much of it is "just missing".

Teams has web interface too, the only thing that doesnt work on the web yet is the video chat and screen sharing. MS Teams supports edge, chrome and Firefox but yeah i dont see a native desktop client yet for Linux.

It does? If the web page opens the ONLY thing the web interface had for me was download links to apps. It didn't "do" anything at all. Nada. Zero web interface.

Same here: It forced me to download the app. Which from what I can see does less than the free version of Skype does. Just more clutter. Yammer seems to be better than that does.....

But Yammer do not have Destkop app. With MS Teams there is Desktop app and Mobile app, didn't tried Web one. I feel more better with MS Teams due to Desktop app because it's more comfortable than Web, could be bit faster and Screen Sharing (no such feature in Yammer).
-
@openit But with Yammer, I have seen "Network Admin" which gives more control over Yammer users, groups , backup etc. not sure about MS Teams yet, I am waiting for there reply for my email for details on MS Teams like where this data gets saved, is it available forever ?, can we backup the teams, chats ? allow/disallow users to let create there own team and can/cannot join Teams on their own etc.
Anyone have any idea on my queries ?
-
@openit Also seems MS do not have separate team/ dept. to handle MS Teams like they have for Yammer.

No desktop app for me, though. That's the problem. And the mobile app I tried didn't work.

Yammer was a different company, so that stuff is legacy.

I see.

Bringing this thread back to life...
I just turned this on for my org. Is anyone using this yet? If so, what is the value add for this VS using something like Skype for Business for chat, Sharepoint for doc storage, etc?
-
We looked at it and found it lacking compared to Rocket.Chat, so just went with that.
-
@scottalanmiller There are so many new things from MS in the 365 suite that overlap. It's super annoying. Just fix what is in place instead of creating yet another new product to use. There are only so many ways to "collaborate" with people.
