> Teams has been transformative in the way I work with my team over the last few years
I've found it to be a big downgrade from slack.
How has of been transformative for you?

Granted, I've not professionally used slack so I can't say if it's much better.
- Teams integration with outlook is the best. Makes meetings with remote team members really slick.
- Teams video chat (at least for a smaller group of people) is way better than solutions like zoom. It's just super convenient to be able to do a video or voice call with someone to work something out.
- The ability to create small group chats with people on the fly is awesome. When we need a 1 off async convo with the right people it's easy enough to just add them to a chat, name it something useful, and be off.
- Because video chat has a chat, it's pretty easy to do a message where you can write something without interrupting the current conversation. That also doesn't go away as soon as the meeting ends (ala zoom).
It's not a feature, or a piece of technical excellence, it's just that it is pervasive.
Adds a lot of continuity to repeated meetings and can serve as an adhoc meeting notes location.
Personally I am glad that people can't just call me up. I would rather be asked over chat first.
