You think Zoom; you think video calls. For millions worldwide, it’s a tool they rely on daily at work.
For productivity, collaboration and workplace integration (as well as video calls), it’s Microsoft Teams leading the way. Its tight integration with other Microsoft 365 services makes it so easy.
Zoom is looking to rival Microsoft Teams with the launch of a suite of features and services designed to take on Teams and Slack head-to-head.
New services will include email, a calendar app, and a virtual co-working space called Zoom Spots. Meanwhile, many upgrades to the Zoom One platform aim to improve collaboration, keep chats flowing, and keep projects moving.
While it feels like a logical step for the video conferencing giant, it remains to be seen how widely adopted the new services will be. The support, reliability and security levels need to be bulletproof before we can recommend it to clients.
Many businesses are already committed to Microsoft Teams, which releases its improvements almost every week. However, this is an interesting new development, and we’ll be watching what happens carefully.
