Microsoft Teams reaches the mark of 145 million daily active users

Microsoft Teams has reached 145 million daily active users globally which is almost double the number a year ago. It is due to the online work and learning during this pandemic.

There has been an increase which is nearly three times year-over-year in the number of organisations with more than 1,000 users integrating their third party and line of business applications with Teams

“In markets where employees have returned to the workplace including Australia, China, New Zealand, South Korea and Taiwan, we have seen usage continue to grow,” Nadella said during the company’s earnings call.

The company has also added over 300 features in Teams including more than 100 new capabilities so far in 2021.

New inclusive meeting experience for hybrid work including custom gallery views enable anyone to be seen, heard and participate whether they are at home, in a meeting room, at an office or on a factory floor.

“Customers like GM and Sanofi are using Teams for unified communications including for voice. Teams is extending beyond communications, creating an entirely new category of modern collaborative applications as organizations use Power Platform to build custom apps, bots and workflows within Teams,” informed Nadella.

“We added support for shared workspaces with people outside the organisation and we are seeing Teams used for everything from virtual retail showrooms and personal shopping to interactive webinars,” he added.
