Many of us are already on the Microsoft Teams platform, but it is now time to take it to the next level. The hybrid workforce has created the need for efficient collaboration and building connections. Microsoft knows this, and has focused on releasing built-in Teams apps that help balance the mix of working from home and remotely. Having the ability to work smarter with apps can also help break up the norm and minimalise work fatigue, whilst working to achieve business goals and objectives.
Utilising built in apps can take your meetings from 0-100 rapidly. Specifically, facilitating collaboration, team productivity, and driving better results. With so many options, there are apps to help us stay on the agenda, log plans or actions, plan future meetings and so much more. Previously you were only able to use external apps in the side panel or through meeting notifications, however, with the share-to-stage update, you are now able to add an app to the meeting stage where everyone can interact with the content in real-time. Below are some apps focused on brainstorming that you can download through the apps store and utilise in your Teams meetings!
