Whether you’re connecting with your community for an upcoming activity or working with teammates on a project, Microsoft Teams helps bring people together so that they can get things done. It’s the only app that has communities, events, chats, channels, meetings, storage, tasks, and calendars in one place—so you can easily connect and manage access to information. Get your community, family, friends, or workmates together to accomplish tasks, share ideas, and make plans. Join audio and video calls in a secure setting, collaborate in documents, and store files and photos with built-in cloud storage. You can do it all in Microsoft Teams.

★★☆☆☆ Bugs - scrolling and missing messages ahsodex · 10 Sep 2026Two stars because Teams has some good features, otherwise it would be one. The latest versions have two major bugs which must have been known before release which is inexcusable. On the latest iOS - 26.6.1, attempting to scroll vertically will instead go horizontal triggering either a reply or showing the date time of the message. Even with an obvious and exaggerated vertical swipe with zero sideways movement, over and over. I have to swipe on the far left in the blank area in order to go up or down. And when scrolling up to view older messages, it will jump to a different time, skipping a bun
more
ch of messages or just not show them at all until I force close Teams and reopen. Or when scrolling down to newer messages reading each one in turn, it will suddenly skip a bunch so that I have to scroll back up to where I was. I would never use this app if I wasn’t made to for work, where for larger enterprises at least Microsoft has basically a monopoly - no competitive incentive to make their apps better. Every one of their products are full of major bugs and each update makes them worse. I heard they fired a bunch of developers earlier this year and last and are attempting to fill that gap with AI, which is producing sub-par output. But what are their customers going to do, switch to Linux, Libre Office, Jitsi and NextCloud like some EU countries are attempting? Doubtful. -
★☆☆☆☆ I would give zero stars if possible Bill Odeh · 23 Oct 2024So, I had an interview slated for today, and the interviewers informed me that it’ll be conducted on Microsoft Teams. Given that I had not used Teams for a while, since most people in academia now just use Zoom (I certainly see why now), I figured that a logical thing to do before the meeting was to do a quick dry run and verify that everything on the Teams app works fine. During this dry run, everything looked good in Microsoft teams (even made sure I could share screen, use laser pointer, video and audio checks etc.). At the actual time slated for the interview though, as I tried to join the
more
meeting, the Teams app froze on me. I then tried to close the software and reopen to see if that helps. While restarting the software enabled me join the meeting eventually, the app would not let me turn on my camera (given that this is an interview, of course it is expected that my camera should be on). It kept saying my camera was “in use by a different app”, when no other app except MS PowerPoint and Teams were open. After several attempts to fix the issue, I resorted to just doing the interview with my camera off. Word of advice, never use Microsoft teams for any important virtual meeting. Learn from my experience! Please!! To verify that this was not an issue with my computer, I then tried opening Zoom right after the meeting and of course my camera was working fine in Zoom. The amount of frustration I felt cannot even be explained. It felt like I worked hard preparing for the interview and it was all for nothing. Thanks for nothing, Teams. -
★★★☆☆ Terrible port to iOS Elwood64151 · 14 May 2024I use Teams almost every day on my work PC. This iOS version is awful! I joined a meeting and found there’s no “focus on speaker” setting, so I was stuck in a gallery and couldn’t see the person talking. I accidentally made the video vanish and couldn’t restore the video view. It became an audio only meeting for me, with no ability to get the video back. Joining the meeting from a web-style link was impossible and errored out three times. Only a direct link from the original invite worked. That required me to find a different email. I was late to the meeting as a result. Even then, it required
more
me to allow Teams to connect to other devices on my network—which I then turned off immediately. There’s no need for it to connect to anything but my router! Since it’s logged in to my work account, many features aren’t available if I have a meeting with people outside my organization. ARE YOU SERIOUS?! What’s the point, then, of using Teams—and all the fees that go with it—if features are blocked? I don’t know if Microsoft is intentionally diminishing the capabilities for iOS or if they’re just not competent at programming for Apple devices, but this was frustrating to use and I don’t recommend it. -
★★★☆☆ Very hard to use with mouse and no multi app window support Abe Rad · 2 May 2023This app is pretty difficult to work with using an iPad with a mouse and keyboard. The iPad OS feature where the mouse icon snaps onto a button or text field remains completely broken in this app. When you try to mouse over the text entry field to respond to a message the mouse icon refused to snap into the text field leading to frustrating behavior where the mouse will snap to some other location. I haven’t seen this in any other application. In reality, the mouse does appear to “enter” the text field because if you place it just right. However the mouse icon remains at the edge of the text f
more
ield. This also makes it impossible to place your mouse in a particular place in you message to edit. I had been waiting to see if this behavior is corrected but surprisingly this is still an issue. Does anyone at MS test this app with an iPad and mouse? I can’t see how this is missed because it is so central to the teams use case. Also, this app still does not support multiple instantiations, so there isn’t a way to see your meeting and at the same time respond to messages outside of the meeting. Three stars for everything else teams does fairly well. -
★★☆☆☆ It’s decent. whsbflfirhdbskabbd · 19 Jun 2022At work they have transitioned from an email service to Teams. So I’m using it weather I want to or not. I like teams for collaborative work on documents, we don’t have to each edit our own copies and then try to merge all the copies together somehow, we can all work on the original document together. The chat function is fine except you cannot delete chats, you can only hide and mute them. So every chat group I have ever been in is still there just muted and hidden. There is no way to clear chats or teams. Whatever has been written will stay there forever unless everyone in the chat/team/cha
more
nnel deletes each and every post or comment they made. The same goes for activity. I have thousands of notifications in the activity tab that cannot be deleted. It makes the app feel very cluttered all the time. WhatsApp is way better in my opinion for chatting but of course the company wants better privacy than WhatsApp so now all our communication must go through Teams. Another problem I have encountered is using the calendar in teams, it doesn’t link up with outlook calendars very well, sometimes at all. So when we need to schedule a team call, I have to exit teams, check outlook calendars and then go back to teams. Anyway, there are some good things about teams but it could be so much better if they made some functionality improvements. I don’t have much hope that much will change however, making the user experience better isn’t a cornerstone of Microsoft. -
★★★★☆ Great EXCEPT FOR THIS ONE THING… Geminispy · 1 Feb 2022Ok, so I broke down and downloaded the app to my iPhone sometime during the summer of 2021 because I supervise a lot of people and babysit the rest of the office so I was constantly being hounded by every method possible (texts, calls to my cell and desk, emails, and Teams). Every time I stepped away from my desk for even five minutes there was a crisis I had to handle immediately so I wasn’t able to see or respond to missed Teams messages until I got back to my computer. I would’ve given it a full five stars BUT, several months ago the emojis just vanished from my phone app. I’ve tried uninst
more
alling and reinstalling and logging out and back in, but alas, there’s just empty black space where the emojis should be. I’ve discovered that if I tap on a random place in the blank space, it DOES throw an emoji up for me but I have no way to know which one I’m accidentally choosing! I’ve seen other people post that they have the same issue but that glitch has been there for months and Microsoft hasn’t fixed it yet. For an industry giant like Microsoft, that’s unacceptable. A lot of people may think it’s no biggie but I use emojis a lot to soften what I’m saying when I have to inform one of my staff that they screwed up. People appreciate that more gentle approach. So yeah. I’m done with my rant now. -
★★☆☆☆ Underwhelming/frustrating user experience Ofuni · 14 Apr 2021Another title for this review might be “Jack Of All Trades, Master Of None.” This product is really not best in class for any product category. It’s not the best calendar app (Google’s is much better and easier to share with others), it’s not the best video chat app (Zoom is and will be the industry leader, at least until maybe Microsoft buys them out and buries them as they did with Skype), it’s not the best messaging app (Jabber or even wonky Slack are far better). It does do a fair job of integrating all these functions, but at a price. Teams really bogs down your system. For me, it’s at
more
a point where I just never leave teams up and running. I only open it when someone else insists on having a Teams meeting. And it doesn’t play nice with other manufacturers’ email software such as Google or Yahoo Mail. The whole point of Teams is to force you to use Microsoft’s other products. I also have concerns over privacy issues with Teams and Microsoft products in general. Teams has all sorts of nifty analytics on user behavior it can run for the owners of Teams software (i.e. the companies you work for). Unfortunately, as long as Microsoft continues to have corporate America in its back pocket, I don’t see any end in sight for this product soon. -
★☆☆☆☆ Frustrating o.rod.25 · 1 Apr 2021This app is best out of all video calling apps for working. I use this almost everyday, but there are things that are very frustrating. First of all, there is much lag between callers and sometimes it kicks us out of meetings. Also sometimes I can’t enter assignments when I need to, and it takes forever to send messages in the app or in the meeting chat. This is a BIG problem which is why it’s addressed first. Second of all, the assignments can be very confusing and difficult to manage. This should be organized better, so it is easier to find what to look for. This is also very confusing with
more
returned assignment with chat. Third, there is a glitch with the blur camera setting. I like to have my camera on during meetings with blur. I turn this on during the middle of meetings. If I turn it off for some reason, I cannot enable it. This is very aggravating. Please fix this soon! I have some suggestions to maybe look at. Maybe make a personal agenda area-it would make life so much easier. Also organization would be very nice. Sometimes this app makes things very complicated and difficult to do simple things. Overall it’s a pretty good app, but has terrible problems that need to be fixed. edit: Ok so now I’m even more mad. So I can’t access assignments anymore through the team or activity I have to go all the way to the assignments tab. THIS IS SO ANNOYING. FIX THIS GLITCH. All of my co-workers agree I gave this 3 stars originally but now it’s down to a ONE!!!!! I hate it! -
★☆☆☆☆ Annoying Isaac--26 · 4 Jan 2021Microsoft teams is the worst app to use for meeting, family matters, and especially school. Teams is slow, buggy, and VERY annoying to use. Speaking as a student who uses this app around 7 hours a day, teams is incredibly buggy. The most notable bug has to be the camera. I have been marked absent multiple times just because team was being buggy and wasn’t showing my camera on. It gets very annoying when i have to constantly email my teacher(s) that I wasn’t absent and teams was just showing my camera off. Another huge thing wrong with this app has to be the fact that it’s very slow. In almost
more
all my classes, my teacher(s) have to stop at least once a day just because teams is being slow and they can’t share their screens. Teams also likes to delete work in the class notebook which can be a very bad thing when I turn in my work and i get a 0 because it shows as blank. Finally, this app is just annoying to use. When you use the teams app on your phone, it glitches out so everyone on the computer can see your face super zoomed in. I was actually called out by a teacher for not paying attention when I was trying to move my phone away so it wouldn’t be so zoomed in. Another huge issue is that when you use this app on desktop and in a browser, you can only have 3 teams tabs open (this is a huge problem for me since one of them has to be my meeting) and you can’t do gallery view which is very annoying when it comes to breakout rooms. To sum up what has been stated, teams is slow, buggy, and super annoying to use. 0/5 and I would definitely recommend using google classroom. -
★★★★☆ Pretty good And i-oop sksks · 7 Oct 2020Ok so we all know the global pandemic has bringed us to do everything at home. I am a student that uses this app DAILY and i really like it, but recently they did this new update that changed everything but not a lot because you could still understand everything that u have to do in the app so over all i liked the update. BUT there is this section on Microsoft Teams called assignments ( keep in mind that i have been using this app for YEARS)(*with no problem at all*) this section let you see all your assignments that you have to do and they’re due dates, how much they’re worth, etc. And this s
more
ection was divided by every class, teams, group, etc. For example: if you went to assignments it would appear a list of all of ur classes, groups, teams, etc. And you have to click the class that you would like to see the assignments. I really liked how they were divided BUT now in the new update all of the assignments are put together and i REALLY DONT LIKE THAT because i like to keep everything very organized and i dont like that the assignments are all mixed together. Overall i like this app a lot and its very easy to use is just the little things that bother me a tiny bit.
