Before exploring the specific features of Teams, like Zoom, it is important to emphasize the key similarities between the two platforms.
-
Video Conferencing: Both systems have strong video conferencing features that let users do webinars, organize online meetings, and participate in group discussions.
-
Screen Sharing: During a meeting, participants in Teams and Zoom may share their screen with others, facilitating efficient presentations and teamwork.
-
Audio/Video Controls: To choose their preferred audio and video, users may switch on and off their cameras, mute or unmute their microphones, and adjust other settings.
-
Breakout Rooms: While Teams offers a feature similar to Zoom's breakout rooms, this feature is typically only useful during large-group Teams meetings.
- Chat Features: Both platforms have built-in chat features that let users interact in real time both within and outside of meetings.
