My favorite aspect of Microsoft Teams is its seamless integration with Microsoft 365 apps, especially for document collaboration. Being able to chat, meet, and co-edit Word, Excel, or PowerPoint files—all within the same workspace—makes Teams incredibly efficient for real-time collaboration. It removes the need to switch between multiple tools and keeps everything connected in one centralized hub, which is especially valuable for remote teams and project-based work.
