Find out what your peers are saying about Zoom Video Communications, Cisco, TeamViewer and others in Virtual Meetings."One of the features that people enjoy is the whiteboard, providing opportunities for academics to present content and for students to contribute. The platform also allows for the creating of different rooms, enabling large classes to break into smaller groups for discussions. Students can then return to the main classroom to share their opinions. It integrates with LMS."
"The solution allows me to connect and collaborate with my classes."
"Document loading and annotation."
"It is a stable solution."
"Microsoft Teams is a friendly and easy-to-install solution."
"We like it because it makes it easy to communicate, chat, make video calls, and schedule meetings with people."
"The product is continually growing to add new features and functionality."
"It is easy to coordinate with the technical support team in case of queries."
"The solution is perfect and works pretty well. It gets your streaming and helps to get your calls. I like it a lot."
"The initial setup process is straightforward for technical executives."
"The solution helps us to accelerate communication. We use Teams to contact colleagues during emergencies instead of regular electronic phones. It helps to keep everything organized and centralized in the same place. The product is also very easy to use. I am also impressed with the solution's possibility of making quick calls and creating groups."
"The system can overload when too many try logging in."
"We faced outages when the user limit went over a certain number."
"If there were maybe more tutorials outside of what I'm aware the university is suggesting, I would take more tutorials on effective ways to deliver content. I come from the industry and content was always needed when people that were observing were smart and involved and decision-makers instead of so passively just trying to pass the course. In my imagination, the tutorials would be a tool where the learners themselves can have much more hands-on learning during a Collaborate session."
"There's a feature that can send a notification to Team's channel, but I think there's no way to have it escalated on something like that."
"The remote control needs some improvement."
"The Teams functions can be improved and some other package should be introduced."
"For future releases, I would like to see Microsoft Teams to make a lighter application and drop some features."
"In future releases, short voice messages would be useful."
"I didn't know that Teams is part of Office 365, so I think that it should be better advertised with its features and capabilities."
"Signing up for a new device for the solution is challenging."
"It would be better if Microsoft Teams can link us to the internet on the screen sharing mode during the meeting."
