What is Microsoft Teams?
Industry Specialties: Serves all industries
Microsoft Teams is a leading unified communications-as-a-service (UCaaS) provider for businesses of all sizes. It provides voice, video conferencing, chat, instant messaging and file sharing options for enterprise collaboration. In addition to three-way PSTN calls, it enables auto-attendant, call parking, call transfer, do-not-disturb, e911 calling and simultaneous ringing. With direct call routing for existing carriers through SIP trunking, it eliminates the need to change phone service providers. It provides default on-hold music that can be customized through the powershell, as well as custom message setup for calls and voicemail. It also offers live screen sharing through chat for instant context.
Powered by Microsoft 365, its admin console enables account provisioning, assigning phone numbers, number porting, and reporting and analytics. With seamless escalation from group chat to video call, it enables in-call attendee management, screen sharing and chats. Available for all major browsers and Apple devices, it supports the current Android version and its previous three versions at any given time.
