Can Zoom become the new Teams?

The first thing most people think of when it comes to video calls is Zoom. For millions of people everywhere, it's a tool that they use at work every day. However, it's Microsoft Teams that are leading the way in terms of productivity, collaboration and workplace integration, as well as offering video calls. Its tight integration with other Microsoft 365 services makes it so easy for everyone. 

Zoom is now wanting a piece of the action and is launching a brand-new set of features and services. These new features and services are going to make Teams and Zoom go head-to-head. These new features will include email, a calendar app, and a virtual co-working space called Zoom Spots. Other upgrades to the Zoom One platform are aiming to improve collaboration, keep chats flowing, and keep projects moving.

It makes sense for Zoom to be making all these changes to try and compete with Teams, but it remains to be seen how widely adopted the new services will be. And before we recommend it to our clients, we’ll want to know that the levels of support, reliability and security are all bulletproof. 

Many businesses are already committed and using Microsoft Teams, which is continually releasing improvements on a regular basis. But this recent development from Zoom is intriguing and we will be watching closely to see how it unfolds.

As always, if you want to know more about the best tools to keep your team working smoothly together, just get in touch.

Until next time, keep fit and have fun!
