Microsoft Teams vs Zoom Meetings Comparison

Teams allows users to seamlessly work on a project jointly and remotely by allowing file and message sharing in a single online location. Also, Teams is a decent tool for conducting an online interview.

Teams is not as interactive as Zoom because you cannot see the members in the meeting as you would in a Zoom meeting.

I love the zoom is built in, it’s very easy to collaborate with my students and other teachers. It’s easy enough for children to navigate. It has made grading and assignments easy.

I would say that sometimes it freezes up. Like if I am posting about a zoom meeting being scheduled, sometimes it freezes/lags.

I like that it takes less data to work properly, unlike Zoom Meetings while you are in a videoconference you receive chat notifications; messages and documents remain saved after the meeting is over.

The video resolution is not great, there are less people on screen, and unlike Zoom it is exclusive with the institution that bought the software.

Teams is a great product on its own. Allows for IM and the majority of people will have no problem navigating the interface.

I prefer the integrations available in other software such as Slack. Slack allows me to create my own groups with ease, share any kind of data, start zoom meetings with the click of one button, and the layout is preferred over that of Teams.

It syncs with my outlook account, so it was easy to log into, without having to give all my information to register.

I consider myself pretty computer savvy, but we couldn't get the audio to work at all for one of my doctor appointments. Another time, I had to use it for a different doctors office, and I was logged in waiting for the other person to accept me, but the system just disconnected me. When I called her back at the office, she said she could see me in the meeting but it wouldn't allow her to connect to me.

There are a lot of great features that I don't use or know about. Its nice that it integrates with a lot of other tools and apps.

I'm not a fan of the UI itself. Seems to hard to use when compared to Microsoft Skype which is what this is supposed to be replacing. I prefer Zoom for meetings - much easier to use.

Teams is more secure and safe than the other new offerings like Zoom, Goto meeting, etc. It is also having more features than Google's offerings. It has background blur & ability to have virtual background. It may be familiar for people who had used skype- another Microsoft product. Meetings are easy to setup and easy to share links. The connection options are extensive especially the dial-in options from different countries.

It should have been integrated with Skype for business or should have been a part of it. Another new application from the same company is quite confusing. Further, there is low marketing from Microsoft's side, which tends to people choosing other risky solutions like Zoom.

Super easy to use for nearly everyone! Great for home use as well as business. Highly recommend!

Microsoft Teams has a bit more functionality...you may not need it.

song is very helpful when we work with remote teams. Normally the service is very fast and the video quality is satisfactory

Microsoft teams more functions, initial configuration is little hard for someone who use it for first time

It does what it says it does. It usually isn't too hard to set up and is compatible with all types of computers

The interface is a little bland and could use an update. I also don't like that there is a timer to meetings

Ease of deployment. You can easily use Zoom via the web browser extension, desktop app, and web portal.

Not much. But I don't particularly appreciate that when I maximize the screen when I am in a meeting, it immediately goes to Fullscreen mode on its own.

Screen Sharing is pretty much clear as well as people can do a video call easily. Zoom tools also consume very limited space from the system because of that it never hangs. Group chatting option is also very unique with one to one chatting as well. Option of recording the meetings is also very unique and shared easily. Option of locking the chat and QnA option is also good. meeting can be attended with the Mobile phone as well.

Like in Microsoft Teams meeting attendees can edit any document simultaneously we can not do it in Zoom.

This is a great tool for video conferencing and makes large group collaborations simple in a remote work environment.

The chat feature and screen sharing communications do not work as well as other applications like Microsoft Team.

The software is incredibly easy and straight forward to use and toggle between presenters, when necessary.

Limited features on Chromebooks and other tablets - including the inability to customize a background. And overall limited features versus Microsoft Teams.

Zoom allows you to setup multiple breakout rooms, and my assigning all participants as co-hosts they can move about the breakout rooms as they way - just like a real cocktail party!

Zoom's audio quality is inferior to Microsoft Teams, and it does not cut out background noise, giving precedence to the loudest screen.

The software is fully functional and works well for sending a link and using it with others that don't have a base software like Microsoft Teams.

For internal use, it is much easier to use Microsoft Teams because you can embed the link directly within your outlook email.

I like that it can be used for video conferences and that it is used by a large number of people.

When I've used this app on my phone I have had varied success with quality. Additionally, I had issues with the initial setup.
