About Microsoft Teams
Microsoft Teams is a workplace communication platform that combines persistent chat, video meetings, file sharing, and app integrations in one interface. It is tightly integrated with the Microsoft 365 suite (Word, Excel, SharePoint, Outlook). Teams is the default collaboration layer for most Microsoft enterprise customers. A free tier exists with limited meeting length and storage; paid tiers are included in Microsoft 365 Business plans.
