You did read that right. There is a free version of Microsoft Teams available worldwide in 40 languages!
Microsoft Teams is a platform that combines all areas of work, such as chat, meetings, notes and attachments in all on one platform.
The purpose of this is to give small businesses, who don’t have a commercial Office 365 subscription, the opportunity to an introductory experience of using Teams.
The Teams service integrates with your business’ Office 365 subscription to allow seamless productivity to appear efficiently throughout your company. Teams as part of your Office 365 subscription opens up further functionality, depending on your subscription level. See the comparison table for further details on what is included.
