Teams delivers Intelligent Communications We encourage your organization to join them and move to Teams today. Today, more than 200,000 organizations are using Teams, including nearly 70% of enterprise customers who use Skype for Business Online. I think it’s really ready this time.Last year we announced plans for Microsoft Teams to become the primary client for Intelligent Communications in Office 365, replacing Skype for Business Online over time. Today, we are pleased to announce we have completed our roadmap for bringing Skype for Business Online features and functionality into Teams, and Teams is ready to meet your messaging, meeting and calling needs. We’ve been waiting for and talking about video conferencing for a long time.

The calls are higher impact, body language is apparent, and people pay full attention rather than “minimally acceptable attention + email”. I know it sounds trite, but it’s remarkable how much better – even in a one on one conversation – the discussion is when it’s video instead of just audio. While there will always be adhoc conference calls on short notice for boards that need to ratify something, for any meeting over an hour, or any scheduled meeting, putting the effort into getting everyone either physically there or on video makes a huge difference.
Skype audio seemed to work just fine in all cases but one, so we did an audio conference for voice and Skype for video. Rather than try to do a Skype three-way (which works well also), the company simply set up two laptops with a separate Skype session on each. In one case, there was more than one person on Skype. It’s a simple, low cost (free) solution, that works awesomely well. In several of the meetings, we simply set up Skype on a laptop and put the laptop at the end of the table.
It is so much better than having people on audio conference. I’m now encouraging everyone I work with – as well as everyone that has a board meeting – to have a physical + video conference approach. It’s impossible for me to physically attend all board meetings, but there’s no reason why I can’t attend by video conference.
I’ve been vacillating between a “physical attendance at all board meetings” approach or “video conference at all board meetings approach” to life. The quality of the meeting and interaction – when all attendees are in person or via videoconference (in my case Skype on my laptop) – was 10x better than the ones via audio conference only. I’ve also had a bunch of other meetings, discussions, and pitches via Skype. About half of them have been via Skype the other half have been standard audio conferencing. I’ve been on a number of board calls this month while I’ve been in Paris.
